    Another Boeing supplier with whom we are familiar was the founder of Gerbings heated stuff. His son took over the biz when the old man passed. Bob Gerbing has a degree in business from the UofW in Seattle.

    Gotta tell you guys, some of these "business gurus" will bleed you dry. Same deal for "sales gurus". They affilliate themselves using verbal abstractions with proven business methodology developed by real businesses, claim degrees from Wharton, Yale, Harvard and Columbia and will start asking for money right off the bat. SOS, if it sounds too good to be true it ain't.

    Sending some of these dudes any information on financials is like posting your PIN and credit card info on Craigslist to buy a Mercedes 300SL for $39.95 from some cat in East Timor who will ship the car from Lagos.

    Some of the tells that are hilarious is the dudes that sell tapes, books, webinars, coffee mugs and Tshirts.

    Straight shooters? Yep..try Clark Howard..

    OMG! Does this mean my RaceTech stuff was made in (gasp) some Beijing sweatshop with coolies running on treadmills and is Ohlins really crap?

    The pic with the flag draped over his altar is a nice touch.. I hope it isn't touching that nice shiny new floor.

    interesting article

    however, I can't help but find this statement a little humorous:
    I suppose that means he's telling the Feds to shove their Section 179 tax deduction up their ass?

    Section 179 will be allowing him to write off the whole 1.5million investment. Obviously I agree the US gov't is unfriendly to mfg but it's a bit hypocritical to make that statement and not acknowledge the tax write-off that's making his investment possible. Don't think for a second that Haas hasn't made sure he knows how 179 will impact the ROI on this project.

    Intech is good folks and I've dealt with them before. You can check out what I speak of right on their website

    2010 tax incentives for manufacturing companies

    Intech's link shows 2010 incentives but this was renewed in February 2011 as part of Captain O's Small Business and Jobs act which also allowed the chronic unemployed to watch Oprah on DircTV for another year.

    Well Tink, without getting into a 900 page screed on whether counting things like ...oh.. rule of law, infrastructure, intellectual property rights, etc, as the federal government constantly standing in the way of industry, or whether anyone giving up a scintilla of profit to any form of agreed upon institution that would allow anyone to make a profit as opposed to confiscating it outright is a good thing, it would be poor form for a journalist to lead that article with ............... " Company takes big tax break and trashes government mercilessly", now wouldnt it? :pound:
