[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3836267, member: 58386"] The market could go in a lot of different directions but based on what appears to be happening XG contractors are in a vulnerable position. Now one of the conditions AMZN has publicly stated is that their contractors have to provide their employees with something in the way of a benefit package. That is a carrot most XG contractors aren't dangling and it therefore has to count for something when it comes to recruiting and retention. In addition I've never heard if AMZN will grant and recognize goodwill. If not it will likely make investment in an already unattractive business even less attractive. Likewise, opening up the books to an interested buyer and that buyer discovers shrinking margins over the previous 2-3 years and a contract nearing expiration that contractor will be lucky get a "take it off your hands" offer let alone one that is in range of what he wants for it. The timeline for selling under the most favorable terms appears to be growing at least somewhat shorter if not a whole lot shorter. What do you guys think the timeline is. My guess is that your best time to bail is between now and the next 2-3 years. [/QUOTE]
