[B]The MB Trading brand is going away.[/B]
I always thought it was a shame that they reduced their name to initials —
[I]Manhattan Beach Trading[/I] became [I]MB Trading.[/I] I thought [I]Manhattan Beach[/I] was a much cooler name.
While I’m on this rant, I’m not impressed with the name of Warren Buffett’s railroad, either.
The storied and evocative name [I]Burlington Northern Santa Fe[/I] was corrupted into [I]BNSF Railway.[/I] Just another stupid alphabet name. The glorious histories of the great Burlington Northern Railroad and the equally great Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway — popularly known as the Santa Fe Railway — are now buried in a totally meaningless name.
Warren Buffett might as well rename his illustrious [I]Berkshire Hathaway,[/I] and just call it BH Corp. That’s a just a few alphabet letters away from BS Corp.
Wow — buy some stock in BH Corp! That will get your heart racing. How about it, Warren?
