My toy company's sales were up about 12.5% 2019 vs. 2018 but total profits fell 29% (after netting out distorting expenses and other income) - 40% of our catalog had declining profitability - 42% of our catalog had declining sales - 38% had declining total profits

One last comment that might be helpful to you stockpickers. I live, breathe, and eat this business. I didn't know and I'm still not even sure what happened. It's really hard to understand what's going on underneath the hood of a business.

One problem we are facing: Screenshot 1: Us Screenshot 2: American competition who is doing an superlative marketing job on a few skus Screenshot 3: Chinese competition Screenshot 4: Our old competition, large company selling to Amazon or resellers who then sell on Amazon.pic.twitter.com/TLKC7mbRJ6

We used to only compete with screenshot 4. We used to be 2. More people were joining prime than competition was joining the selling platform. Now it's the opposite. Subscriber growth seems to be flatlining but competition continues to grow and gets better.

As I wrote above, our profits fell 29% between 2018 and 2019. Take a look at what we do. Why are we sucking? Be honest. I love constructive criticism.https://www.amazon.com/viahart

Sorry for beating this horse dead here, but this is amazing stuff. They (believably) own a factory and sell on Amazon. What's our competitive advantage? That we can pluralize nouns? https://www.amazon.com/s?me=A1ZG8PMNGL7JUI&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER …pic.twitter.com/wXuxZuYXl0
