[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1244240, member: 32753"] Is it Hoax? Is there no cost-effective way to build some cushion into the system without upsetting the board and shareholders too much? Would it be wiser to just, on certain things, go ahead and do UPS, and take a little hit on the stock price? A railroad I know-either BNSF or Canadian National-did something like that, building miles of track and upgrading facilities in anticipation of the end of the recession, which at the time wasn't in its decline yet. Shareholders growled, but they continued on. Activist shareholders tried to barge in and change things, but the company held firm, and came out far ahead than most of their competitors. Could efficiently surviving a peak like this and swallowing all that revenue in such a short period of time with minimal headaches not PAY for the excess cushion over the year? [/QUOTE]
