CBPlantmanager i'll admit i'm not an experienced investor by any means, but i can and do trade and make money regularly. I try to see things objectively. It was clearly a strong bash post but someone mentioned CB's roughly 10 billion dollar long term debt. To me that's bad. Companies can and do get too big to manage rather than too big to fail. I wouldn't think it's unheard of for CB to decline in sales. Statistically very few Fortune 500 companies have withstood the test of time. It's important to step back and look at the big picture sometimes.
