The worst part of that article is that the interested party is an investment company.

An investment company is a company whose main business is holding securities of other companies purely for investment purposes. The investment company invests money on behalf of its shareholders who in turn share in the profits and losses.

I have worked for 3 companies that were purchased by Investment Companies. Within 1-2 years they were pumped up, shaken up, remolded and re-sold. Long term employees were replaced....nasty business.

That is why I started my own business 13 years ago. I never looked back.

My advise...stock up on your favorite hooks. There is no guarantee that they will still be available down the road.
