Well said and with that, I hope we can take something from all this discussion. Thank you all.
QUOTE=bigburtchino;235619]So far I do not buy anything, everything we touch is from a waste stream from other companies and all of our scrap is processed. We sell when a particular scrap type has accumulated to a preset weight. I do play the numbers, with my yards and try to have at least three types of scrap to sell. I want my buyers to have something worth buying and me a choice of buyers with prices I can live with. My business plan has always been pretty simple: 1. create goods and service that has value. 2. must be good for me/the customer/the employees. 3. generating as many multiple revenue streams as possible. 4. All cost must be minimized, requiring a continues effort to lower operating cost. 5. review all aspects of the business personally, always seeking the most efficient/cost affected methods. 6. errors will be made, learn from the mistakes, failure to act is very expensive.[/QUOTE]
