Reality Check II



On 10/27/2010, I included an article by Reuters describing how Mindy Grossman of HSNI went on the offensive in developing sales instead of only playing defense and cutting cost during the midst of a vicious recession.  Original Article  On 10/27/2010, the stock price of HSNI was 29.89.  One year, 3 months and an economic recession later, HSNI's stock is trading at 36.23, a 21.2% increase.  What's more impressive is that this television retailer, cable channel 11 where I am, accomplished this during a period of economic contraction.  Widening its product line, signing more celebrities, and providing shoppers with free TV concerts were but a few of the success stories.  What's next?  A weekly entertainment magazine for TV shoppers placed right next to People Magazine at the grocery store :-))?  Suffice it to say, it's been a solid run.
