<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 1728517, member: 30574&quot;]YES!!!! The permabulls here are not the fear mongerers, but I would like to humbly suggest that the permabulls are the VICTIMS of the fear mongerers as is evident by the parroting back of the fear mongerers rhetoric to a tee.&nbsp; It also a perfect example of how well the fear tactic works.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a former salesman in retail electronics, I can tell you, as far as the management was concerned, our only job was to sell extended sevice contracts.&nbsp; They wanted the super high margins the extended service contracts delivered.&nbsp; It mattered little how much we actually sold, as long as we could get the service agreement.&nbsp; So how did we sell those contracts.&nbsp; You got it, FEAR baby.&nbsp; Convince the customer that he does not want to be looking down the barrel of a $1000 repair on his home theater, and you got him, all that is left is to tag him and bag him.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I had a problem with my moral compass in this area and decided retail sales was not for me, but the lessons I learned were priceless[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
