A Fresh New FranklinCovey Calendar for 2008
December 28, 2007
This week I bought a new FranklinCovey Calendar for 2008. There’s something exciting about buying a new, empty calendar. It is like buying a new notebook. The pages are empty, but they hold promise. Maybe something new and exciting will happen during the next year.
As I thought about the new FranklinCovey Calendar, I couldn’t help but think about the company. Earlier in the year I had written them down as a possible investment opportunity. Their stock symbol is FC. Looking at the charts on Yahoo Finance, it looks like their stock is up around 60 cents for the year, which translates to a 9% gain for the year. That’s not bad. But it looks like their net income has declined significantly during the last year. I wonder much longer a paper calendar company can survive during this online age. I only know one other person that uses the FranklinCovey book as much as me, and that’s my Dad.
While looking at their stock information, I also found a press release titled FranklinCovey Survey Reveals Top 3 New Year’s Resolutions for 2008: Eliminate Debt, Lose Weight, Develop Healthy Habits. Their top three resolutions are:
- Get out of debt or save money
- Lose weight
- Develop a healthy habit (e.g., exercise or healthy eating)
I pretty much want to accomplish EVERYTHING they listed during 2008. I wonder how much these resolutions change from year to year?
