[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1353593, member: 32753"] First, a pet peeve: it does not "beg the question"; people misuse that phrase very much. Begging the question is more like, "makes one want to question the argument just made", rather than be a synonym for "raises the question". So, the analyst speculating that because FedEx went from a potential double digit growth quarter to -7% indicates that Amazon has switched over to UPS begs the question, for instance, why hasn't UPS come out and gloat about their coup. As for the question you raised, well, I guess that depends on what means more to you: looking better in the public eye, or gaining the trust of the big company who the public buys from, thus putting you in a position to redeem yourself with said public?
