It's possible to make record profits one year and a loss the next if you don't react early enough to trends.

- FirmwareBurner 3y agoPretty much this. Nokia had it's record year of profits the year after the iPhone launched even though the writing was already on the wall. It's easy to go from winner to looser in a snap with no way to turn back and hiring even more people won't help if the ship is heading towards the iceberg with full steam ahead.
