I don't quite have enough energy to post a comment on this idiotic analogy...

[Zing!]

"David Lee Roth left Van Halen in 1985, and the Van Halen loyal mourned his departure. Sadness turned to hand wringing, as the faithful worried the band's trademark sound a thing of the past. Sammy Hagar's subsequent hire did nothing to assuage their concerns, at least not immediately. But with 5150's subsequent release, and success, the mulleted Van Halen masses breathed relief. Van Halen's change was merely cosmetic. The same could be said of the potash industry. Its recent history is of a cozy fraternity. Instead of competing for market share, the industry's top players took a rational, price-centric approach to competition, ensuring tasty returns on capital and continuously increasing potash prices."

Merely cosmetic?

That's like the cosmetic difference between a classy lady having a nice dinner at Mortons and a birthday party clown.

Just wow.

This is why he's giving lectures and not actually running a business.

CNBC, Yahoo! Business and just about every other fucking financial news related network can go eat a hill of dicks sprinkled with gold-dust and cocaine as far as I'm concerned. They make FAUX news look credible. While their at it, they should just end all the pretenses and just suck a CEO's cock on-air.
