Massive amount of speculation in here with absolutely nothing to back it up...
Just as much as theses new products could succeed, they could also fail, and and end up in the junk just like OBJ's historical portfolio of products...
- The magic wand,
- The magnetic booster,
- The tooth brush,
- The hair brush,
- The Tooth Whitening kit,
- Those 10 or so products displayed at the AGM when P&G was hailed as our "cracked coconut"
- The packaging products,
- Magnamask, (yes it failed.. do you see profitability from it?)
- And so many more of their "go no where" products and ideas....
Will these new ideas be like:
- the always ever coming, but never arriving knee guard and its subsequent derivatives?
- Or the ever promised but never finished surface hygiene products?
- Or will they be like the Amazing ETP delivering system, which rocked the industry, made the news, gave life to OBJ and then just vaporised?..
.....Can I just add "hair pods" to the list now or is it too soon?
This speculation is the same for the last 10+ years ... lots of promise, no delivery.
The boy who cried wolf must be looking at OBJ/WFL as a lifetime mentor. .."don't worry its coming next quarter, it going to be big!!".
That was 40 Quarters ago and still nothing.... yet its still being cried out today in threads like this....
Here's an equation for you....
If everything looks the same,
+ it all sounds the same
---------------------------------------
= then its the same
---------------------------------------
Why should anyone think different this time?
I WANT TO BE WRONG, but for years now I've been spot on about OBJ/WFL in predicting its last 5 years of failure … right now I see an only slightly improved outlook that I don't believe is enough to justify any of the overly optimistic speculation that's being thrown around here.
