Comment on Profiting In A Recession 101 by Juan Carlos Armenta

Freddy, let me say right from the start i do sincerely find your ideas and portfolio up to par with profitable success. Unfortunately, common people thrive only in the speculation that giant companies and corporations may bring the biggest shares and therefore the bulkiest profits, but what we have inherently failed to consider is the basis of economic competitiveness. What i mean by that is the forgotten notion that drives our economy, that hidden infatuation that silently empowers economic stability, the only good thing that follows the invariant decline of huge conglomerates is the idea that as one falls, it may give rise to another, as one fails another may take its place. For what is capitalism without its competitors fighting for survival? True, GM and other bankrupt corporations hurt this economy and even damaged our belief in the capitalist system, but what we have failed to see is: What will rise now? What may profit from these damaging crashes? Well, the new dark-horse powerhouses ready to inherit our trust and as you described in your article, it is in them that we must invest. The federal government has made it safe for us to take new risks and enjoy the advantages of its lowered interest rates so as of right now, it is up to us to consistently, but securely profit from this ending recession.

Comment on Buy Local? by Tim Collins

I think UTEP and any government entity needs to seek the “best Value” in deciding on suppliers. They should also look closely at the contract requirements to make sure they do not, intentionally or not, create artificial barriers to entry (such as extreme technology requirements etc that add minimu value).

Price is the base decision, other factors such as lead time for delivery, the level of critical need for any particular product, ease of dealing with a supplier in “moments of truth” (when problems arise).

There are many instances now where small businesses are effectively locked out of the bidding process by contract terms that do not really add great value.

I am not advocating throwing out national contracts or 100% set aside for local businesses. I just know from 10 years experience in this field (most working for a Fortune 100 if not 50 Industrial Distributor and holder of many national contracts) that the hurdles in place are substantial.

One possible solution, for small business is the formation of selling alliances on the model of current purchasing alliances.
