I'd almost say your logic is beyond faulty -- its dangerous.Rather -- and I would not say this applies to Dante, specifically -- but the habits we take going into a deal mean far more than the deal itself.You cannot make money if you cannot align your income and expenses properly.You cannot make money if you overspend/spend more than what you make.You cannot make money if you are undisciplined in financial and operational matters -- you may be able to show short profits, but I think long-term success is highly predicated on proper planning, forecasting, adjusting, and action.To me seeking out a profitable deal to "right the ship" is like buying an advanced set of lottery tickets.

Shipping charges will vary from plant locations.
