      Sounds like a crazy idea to me. Next you’ll be saying, end a TV show before the ratings have plummeted to zero.

      I’d say it depends on the trajectory, closing a month or two before bankruptcy isn’t really a success.

      I am a Trump level successful businessperson, I gathered 132.5 gorillion in investment dollars, pissed 130.75 away on becoming the biggest name in Dwarven Cuck Hentai, and sold it to a Google for .0008 gorillion, half of which was mine!

      Pure profit, baybee!
