The End Of The Day With Ray! After Exodus Of Tenured Senior Leaders-GreatAmerica Is Now Buying Bank!

July 21, 2025

GreatAmerica Financial Services is buying Heritage Bank Of Marion Iowa - Once approved by regulators the bank will be called GreatAmerica Bank National Association (WOW Long Name) What I discovered regarding Heritage Bank of Marion Iowa was very surprising. According to the data published by Visbanking, Heritage Bank seems very small. Data showing only 8 employees and assets of only $40.5 Million. Data also shows questionable performance against some optimal banking key financial benchmarks. So, Who will run the bank and how will buying a small bank be beneficial to GreatAmerica? I am thinking this acquisition will be more distracting than beneficial. Especially as we have all seen the exodus of much of GreatAmerica's tenured leadership team. Interesting times ahead for sure!

Today episode I share how I see Landa Digital Printing strategy of chasing a dream. In short Landa is not Indigo and today's HP is not the 2001 Hewlett Packard. No I don't see HP baling out Landa. I also don’t see Xerox, Canon, or Fujifilm having any interest in saving Landa. I also discuss how I see Konica Minolta as having a strategy of chasing squirrels. These two organizations have great lessons for the industry. As the industry watches Konica Minolta continue to produce inadequate operating profit and Landa under court protection from creditors. How will the journey end for both these organizations?

The End Of The Day With Ray! What Can The New CEO of VEIT Learn From DEX Imaging & MARCO?

July 17, 2025

Is The New CEO of VEIT Reporting To The Old CEO? Surly NOT? After reading some articles and hearing things in the market I am thinking the new CEO of Visual Edge IT has a great opportunity to bring reality to Visual Edge IT. If he pays attention to the peers in the marketplace. I am also thinking that the exaggerated proclamations of the organization’s exiting CEO are reasons why I believe he definitely should no longer be involved in any corporate strategy or vision.
