    Odesk "Another Unicorn Bites the Dust"

    EXECUTION 
    Exactly. I found their explanation for price increase to be faulty and not thought out. Add some features in there. Pivot. Do something different so you're changing your targeting. Not just raise prices for the hell of it. Provide more value in return.

    On a related but separate note... for those of you who read this thread back in February and got scared and started making decisions based off fear i.e. selling a bunch of assets because you're afraid the market was going down. Let that be a lesson learned. Trying to time the market all while...

    Folks, it's 2000 (or 2008) all over again.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    You have a good point but it's only money on paper. Unless you sell the asset at that exact moment then the current value of the stock is just on paper. So, to say it's wiped out isn't 100% accurate. It's just not currently selling for what it was valued in a prior period.

    Is Apple going full retard with its marketing, or is it just me?

    MARKETING RANT 
    They didn't become a 600 billion dollar company without understanding their fans, customers, and market desires. You may be annoyed by their current advertising but don't assume it's not ridiculously effective.

    Product is King, Queen is Customer Service, and Marketing a Knight.

    MARKETING 
    I had a great product for years. We didn't start making any real money until we got our marketing together though. I've seen the same thing happen over and over. So many businesses have great products but fail because they're poor marketers. Marketing is king. Took me a long time to learn that.

    Product is King, Queen is Customer Service, and Marketing a Knight.

    Your statement about marketing not fixing a shitty product is true. Your statement that customer service can do a hell of a lot for a business is also true.
