Not just in commerce but in the world of ideas too our age is putting on a veritable clearance sale. Everything can be had so dirt cheap that one begins to wonder whether in the end anyone will want to make a bid.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
On the Internet, it is assumed people are in business to sell out, not to build something they can pass along to their grandkids.
Not everything is for sale; not everything is about money.
We always look at opportunities. We are not aggressively looking to buy something.
I think that a lot of companies are still amazingly price sensitive.
People are looking for software development that actually does something useful... People are looking for partners who deliver when promised, and at a reasonable and transparent price. I believe that the days of being able to value price software are numbered.
The shortage of buyers, which the world is suffering from, is readily understood, not as due to people not wishing to obtain possession of goods, but as people being unwilling to part with something which might earn a regular income in exchange for those goods.
We don't market products narrowly. We market big stories about the industry, things that matter to a lot of people.
Even if you have $20,000 to buy an item, you still try to get a good price at antique stores. I collect furniture, rugs, paintings, frames. It's my hobby to go around to shops and markets.
The world has a great deal more to offer than money.
Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
