which means what ?
Gm spent billions in marketing some of their products as well . has that stopped them from discontinuing given lines .
A company can spend a whole lot of money on marketing . But when a given level is reached where the total cost to the company exceeds the value of return achieved by a product .
What happens ?

As I said and doc reiterated . S&W did not want TC for it being TC . It wanted is name and some of it manufacturing business.
By having the name , they can carry on manufacturing of the money making lines .
As doc stated . S&W basically wanted the TC barrel and casting making facilities.
The rest was just frosting on the cake .
If that frosting becomes non valuable to S&W . they will replace it .
