We're talking to every third-party supplier every day of the week, and our traders are talking to them and buying products from them. When we're doing that, we see opportunities which no one else sees.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every time we bring someone in we ensure that they are a strategic thinker, but even more important that they understand that if the products aren't successful and the products don't sell that there won't be anything to strategize about.
When you are truly interested in other people, you will learn what they are interested in and if they have a need for your product. If they like you, and most people like folks who take an interest in them, they'll help you find people who do need what you have to sell, even if they don't.
I buy when other people are selling.
People think about their business instead of their products.
Some people are so busy learning the tricks of the trade that they never learn the trade.
When you say we're bringing a product to market, you make sure you execute.
What you get when you put all your resources behind a product, is you get everyone to join in.
When you know who your customers are, that can give you an edge on the competition.
We are not a trading company. We are a midstream asset company: pipe, storage and terminals. It's an unsexy, dirty business. It's not rocket science.
We always look at opportunities. We are not aggressively looking to buy something.
