The End Of The Day With Ray! Is MARCO Buying Konica Minolta U.S.? Sound Crazy? Listen In!
In today’s episode I share thoughts regarding MARCO buying KMBS. Before you thinking that is crazy!

The End Of The Day With Ray! Canon 1st Qtr. FY26 - Are Profits Affected By Declines In HP Business?
share thoughts on Canon 1st qtr. and discuss the potential disaster with Canon as HP Inc print business continues declining. Canon maybe way over optimistic in their believes regarding their HP Inc relationship. Canon also should be concerned that their print business exceeds 55% of the conglomerates revenues and over 80% of the conglomerates total operating profit. Canon has not been able to grow its other business units enough to be considered a successful diversification. I don't believe Canon takes serious its threats.

Let's go back in time to last year and listen to what the retired BTA Lawyer and the host of Friday's with Frank had to say in their two part interview. I believe they both were too focused on blessing an OEM contract instead of focusing on the dealers.
