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.

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.

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.

I found something very intriguing for shippers in the JB Hunt earnings release and it had to do with the ICS (Integrated Capacity Solutions) earnings. Essentially, the group is a broker so they act a lot like an actual shipper. They have loads and they go to the open market to procure those loads. Here is what the results say: Revenue - $132M up 20% Operating Income - $4.2M up 113% That is telling as the OI is increasing at a dramatic pace over the revenue.

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.
