Shareholder value is important to the future of every company.

Publically traded companies have 2 customers; the shareholder (stockholder) and the folks who actually buy the goods and services they produce. The typical shareholder is only a customer for 9 months. Too many companies care too much about the shareholder and lose touch with the folks who buy their product. If no one is buying their product, there goes the shareholder value...

Also all the pre-move DPMS rifles will now be highly collectable and worth 4 times as much.

LOL yeah. Too bed i've sold the ones i've owned.

Very true! When leadership listens to the finance weenies (how to make numbers look better) over the customer, the death spiral begins. Finance is important but customer satisfaction is critical.

Does this mean the $599 dpms just went to $499

I would suspect $699 instead of $499. Restructuring of that size rarely comes without cost.

If they cut out the low-life overpaid union workers, and replaced them with efficient, correctly low-paid non-union workers, the price should go down!

You've got your math wrong. Lower cost of production means higher profits, not lower retail costs.

+1 on that. It usually has very little to do with what the workers are paid - union or not - it's how much profit management thinks they can make before the customers stop buying. That was always GM's way of thinking.
