Another thing that will kill a lot of businesses, both small and large, is that they have put all of their eggs in one basket.............only sell one product or service, and when that market drops they are sunk........ie, Microsoft. Kinda like if you made and sold buggy whips back in the 1800's, and then the automobile came along.

The surprising thing about the current economic situation is that not only are Mom and Pops folding, but so are chains that usually can weather these downturns because of their resourses and expertise. Not any more.........more and more companies that we viewed as bulletproof are closing some locations or folding altogether.
