I'm not worried about JD too much. I've read the comments so let's just address some Chrysler had been losing money for several years and so had GM--going under was expected and the companies were not doing much. Earnings are important REALLY count when they go negative. All of the companies mentioned were/are international. What really counts IS THE COMPANY LOSING MONEY! If profits are just down then corrections are in order if the company is serious. Attitudes need to be adjusted staff needs need to be addressed. And is the product meeting to needs of the customers. I don't think JD is serious yet and the stock price will reflect it. Demanding the dealer to maintain a particular showroom and inventory isn't to help. Trying to insist that the customer come to the dealer for service (both hardware and software) without providing the service personnel and materiel to satisfy the customer will just accelerate the slide. Is JD doing anything to turn the slide around?
BTW JD isn't alone in this approach to business, Look around and see how many are tacking the attitude that the business is boss and see if they aren't losing their shirts. I'm not talking about businesses big things like farm equipment, cars and ships but companies selling little things like toasters.
The customer is KING and when JD and the companies like JD realize it changes will come!
