| 223843 | 11440 | Molded, Reverse Engineered, Handshaped by One Only...WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU? | 120 | Bruce Fowler | Oct 19, 2021 | 2021-10-19T10:45:50-0400 | The back up with super freighter cargo ships is a probable for every company relying on Asia (and other places) for a supply chain. If you have your eggs all in one basket, you're probably screwed for now. Quite a few of the surfboards labels produce domestically & offshore. Some of that has to do with saving on shipping. Everyone I know right now with glass shops is stacked full of work, and although that is an inconvenience for the customer as far as wait time, it is good for guys getting paid by the piece in the shops. I'm investing in building a lot of stock boards in my models because I can enjoy a better R.O.I. (Return on Investment) than having the money in a "ladder of C.D.s", Bonds, ETF's, REITs, T Bills, Money Management Account, and other such investment options, which my Schwab portfolio already addresses. I don't need to pay for storage or warehousing, knock on wood....... with nearly an acre I have space to accommodate as needed including shaping at home........ so no overhead for an office, storage, shaping room, packing station....... a legit home business set up is bliss..... no daily commute and my car insurance is based on providing minimum mileage driven for a run to the glass shop 40 miles down the highway once a week. Minimal exposure to other humans too....... for those that are obsessed with Covid, which, from a pathological perspective, will be with us (like the flu or common cold) for eternity. |
