AWLDW Dropped 60%

It's because Tom hasn't been in the office as much. He must have been the
mastermind of any good things in AW.

AW never had a strong stock, ever. I don't think it ever jumped past $5.

Depends on what you mean by "safe." Finacially? No. Community? Kinda,
but it's deminishing due to the bad business choices of the executives.

Just don't invest too much money into it, you'll be safe until they go
under.. and there's no doubt in my mind that they won't. Bad business
choices means a plunder in users.. which means no business.

Come on AW management. Lower prices to $20-30 a year and advertise. You'll
soon have a great flow of users and money coming in if you do that. I
remember when there used to be 30-40 new cits dialy, now it's done to 5-10.

It is a big gamble though, Bowen. But I believe based on past business
decisions of others that I know that this gamble will pay off very well.
Advertising and lowering prices increases demand for the product. Raising
them increases demand for a substitute product. Economics, you gotta love
it.

AWC will have far more to lose if they go this path, but they have a greater
percentage of surviving. Playing it safe never got us to the moon, you
know.

That is very true. Economics is a game. :) You have to have skill, but
you also have to rely on luck to get you through it. There is no safe way,
but there's a better chance if you try to bring in more people, instead of
alienating those that are already present and are the lifeline of the
community.

I'm not sure that their economics expert is even an expert. Rather just a
friend of theirs, that's just my theory. I think they need to think about
things more carefully, and really examine the effects of what will happen if
they implement something else. Look at past company mistakes, that should
be quite a clear example. From what I've seen, you're very correct Chris.
Lowering prices while advertising increases demand, and increasing prices
increases demand for substitue goods.

Economics was a fun class to take though. :)
