There have been many successful examples in the past of large-scale investments in sectors that began as many independently-owned businesses that were then purchased and professionally managed under a single banner. Historically, professional management, taking advantage of economies of scale, organized and eventually dominated the oil business and the steel industry. In the process Standard Oil and U.S. Steel created two of America\u2019s greatest fortunes (John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie). The pattern has been repeated in many other sectors of the U.S. economy. As examples in more recent history, Wayne Huizenga made his fortune by buying up independent garbage haulers and creating Waste Management Systems. Then he moved on to buy up video rental stores and create Blockbuster Video. (Selling the company for streaming video made video rental stores obsolete.)<\/p>\n
