Be Careful What You Wish for. . . —Cagle

We’ve all heard the adage that perception is reality; it’s been noted here (a.k.a. “Before You Go...” column) previously. Burton represents, in many minds, printing industry carpetbagging. He preys on the wounded animals, uses gimmicks to artificially stimulate their stock price, cuts production ranks razor thin to eliminate costs from the equation and then absconds 18 months later with briefcases full of money, all the while tracking the blood of dismissed employees all the way out the back door. He doesn’t offer long-term value.
