...baby-boomer brand. Harley kept increasing its stake over 10 years and finally bought it all in 2003, even though Buell accounts for a mere 2% of Harley's sales. "What does Buell bring to Harley?" asks Don Brown, analyst and president of DJB Associates in Irvine, Calif. "Good question." In 2007 Buell brought in $100.5 million in revenue and shipped 11,513 bikes, compared with Harley's whopping $5.7 billion and 330,619 bikes shipped.

...gold miners. These days, the closest contact with gold I have is the sprinkling of edible gold leaf on my chocolate molten cake from Finale. So I wonder: with pencil, not dirt pick, in hand, are jeans a relic of the past? A bold assertion, followed by a question, that raises doubts about my sanity, I realize.
