Brief Investment AnalysisFounded in 1935 Acme established it's business by producing corks. By 1938 they had expanded and started their mail and phone order service to meet the demand for their new product lines which included the popular Creamlined Cow. In 1940 their Suspenders Division stocks fell sharply (see The Daily Flash newspaper story) but the company learned from the experience and by the 1950s they dominated the contracting, weapons production and consumer goods manufacturing sectors of the USA's ecomony.Today Acme has it's finger in almost every pie. From scientific apparatus to practical jokes, Acme can meet the demand of any customer. It's been rumored that when someone asks for something they don't produce that Acme will then buy out the competition just to meet that customers demand. Acme owes much of it's success to what appears to be one very wealthy customer. Most Acme products are sold to a mysterious Wile E. Coyote, super genius who is reported to live somewhere in the southwestern US. Acme Services have seen a similar growth rate. By the 1950's Acme became a dominate player in the construction sector and remains so today. Acme delivery trucks are spotted everywhere and the service rivals FedX and UPS worldwide. Acme has expanded into numerous niche markets and all indications point to the continuation of this portfolio building strategy |

Manufactured GoodsNegative Out Look:Without Mr. Coyote's constant flow of cash, Acme would not be the manufacturing giant it is today and investors should shy away from investing in Acme's manufacturing division due to the heavy dependence on a sole customer. Another cause for concern is the poor safety record of many Acme products. Most Acme Products are extremely dangerous and none have a warning label opening the company to lawsuits and punitive legal actions. The US Attorney General is now considering criminal charges involving a series of natural disasters linked to Acme's Do It Yourself Tornado Kits and Earthquake PillsPositive Out Look:Due to petty feuds and the Martian threat it is highly recommended to invest in Acme's Weapon and Explosives Divisions. Demand for Acme's innovative weapon technology should blow up in the years to come.
ServicesNegative Out Look:While Acme provides a host of services ranging from Baby Sitting to Trucking, most are niche markets not prone to dramatic growth and investors should be cautious backing any of them.While the Trucking Division remains strong, Acme's fleet of trucks is aging and it is expected that the company is due to face some major expenses as the entire fleet will soon need to be replaced. A very major cause of alarm is the poor safety record of the drivers. Acme trucks are continually running over Mr. Coyote threatening the whole conglomerate.
Positive Out Look:Acme's Banana Importing Division is peeling off at a tremendous rate. Also showing strong growth is Acme's Construction Contracting Division and opportunities for investment are ground breaking.ConclusionsThe Service division remains very strong despite the use of the leading subsidiaries profits to bolster the niche market acquisition strategy. The company is poised for complete saturation in all service related enterprises in the near future. The brandname recognition of ACME manufacturing and construction divisions is driving new and existing customers to it's service doors. A quick glimpse into the future reveals that ACME products will still be available in the 24th 1/2 Century. The company is close to total world domination. Investing in our future overlords is highly recommended. |
