We've sunk just about every dime of profit into this operation, but it's not just the money. When you see a beautiful animal like that slaughtered... it's such a waste. Who would do such a thing? I would like to know.

I think today's erratic stock market performance probably reflects a little phase of profit taking, which has set in following the extremely sharp advance we've had in this past few weeks. Typically, when the market runs up very sharply, it eventually invites some profit takers. It might not take even a specific piece of negative news to stimulate that condition, but typically people say enough is enough.

It used to be that producers would make a profit, with the idea that they would put that money into a new show,

Nobody ever lost money taking a profit.

It's a tremendous financial leap for a historically under-funded non-profit.

Whatever it takes, business owners are going to have to figure (realistic) training expenses into their profit and loss statements.
