We all know there is a conflict - a push / pull relationship if you will - between delivering current results and looking out to the long term. The story goes that the short term are the "table stakes" meaning you have to deliver those in order to earn the right to think long term. This makes sense. After all, you would not want your company to go out of business in the short term just to ensure some long term plan is in place.

I continue to follow this company closely as should anyone in the brokerage and now final mile business (see acquisition of 3PD). However, I am also fascinated at how much money can be lost in the quest to make money. I really question whether this is in the best long term interests of the company as they lost $1.00 per share or $18M dollars versus Q2 of last year when they lost $5.9M or.54 cents per share.

Back in November of 2012 I reported on XPO Logistics and their "insane" growth pattern. The company, and its CEO Bradley Jacobs, seem to have no lack of money or desire to expand and acquire. In that post I said you should watch this company and time will tell. Today supported my claim I made back in November in a big way. They have purchased one of the premier home delivery or "final mile" companies in the Country - 3PD.

When I talk sustainability, either individually or in groups, the same consistent theme comes from middle management: We will do it if it also makes economic sense (i.e., immediate payback) but we will not do it if it "costs" us. Very few companies and people today will execute sustainability projects purely because it is the "right" thing to do. The problem with this however is that it is tough, if not impossible, for the free economic market to put a true cost on environmental issues.

Fashion is fickle, and shifts in consumer tastes can be very, very subtle. Thus, it's important for companies to pay a close attention as possible to them — even if they're not directly designing or manufacturing garments.
