Orphan Coaches

[flyu2there]

Fly UThere, I still see no customers with money to spend, so there is no way they can be profitable. I think this way they can dismantle the company in a more orderly fashion and end up with a little bit more money than a total write off of monies owed to all creditors now.

Peter,

First, bankruptcy laws don't quite work that way! Second, if they were going to dismantle the company it would already have been done.

Truth is, there is pleanty of money out there! Downfall is that those who have it are not spending it and those who may need to borrow just cannot qualify. Personally I think a great deal of this financial mess has been caused by mark to market and with a stroke of a pen................tight money could be greatly reduced.

Hopefully, this will all change and soon! It's not just Country Coach, it is every single motor home manufacturer, converter, automobile manufacturer, home builder or what have you that is having a tough time in this market.

Good afternoon Peter, Just one thought I like to share with you. Our new President Obama stated that Abe Lincoln is his favorite president and here is a quote from Abe Lincoln " You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves".

Time will tell on the Country Coach restructuring, but I'm not 'all-in' on the Obama big Govt. solution.

I have to say from everything I have ever read on this board, this statement is like something calling something black. Oh yeah, the pot and the kettle. Maybe there should be a POG Negative Award given out. Looks like we got ourselves some competition here boys. Two real deserving heavyweights. I would still vote for the near TBC member.

Our new President Obama stated that Abe Lincoln is his favorite president and here is a quote from Abe Lincoln:

I would doubt there are many of our POG friends who would disagree with President Lincolns' words. If our current President wishes to follow the wonderful example left by Honest Abe, he has almost 4 years to prove it. I for one wish him every success. The office of the President of the United States deserves our respect. The man that sits in that office has an equal opportunity to earn it.
