"Before buying a stock I like to be able to give a two-minute monologue that covers the reasons I'm interested in it, what has to happen for the company to succeed, and the pitfalls that stand in its path.

Once you're able to tell the story of a stock to your family, your friends, or the dog (and I don't mean 'a guy on the bus says Caesars World is a takeover'), and so that even a child could understand it, then you have a proper grasp of the situation." - Peter Lynch

For example: removing any product and or services that doesn't meet the necessary capital allocation return hurdle rate and then downsize the staff to only those most productively capable when well trained, empowered and incentivized to do that work, under their guidance. Then increase the prices where the market will bear it and invest in research and development to develop the next innovations to provide for the next step up in growth to once again provide the cash-flow and equity to repeat this process, ad infinitum. This has been a plan used by a number of very fast growing companies allowing growth of 20 percent or more for more the 20 years.
