Some of us thought they were smoking crack with the new opener and many people did not think they were serious. Especially outside the industry. But it was a relatively good strategy in the end because it did drive the end result higher somewhat.
TA2 fixed a lot of the problems with TA1 and added about 5% more compared to TA1 and another one in January 1, 2019.
That being said I like this TA better.
