A few years ago at one of my bi-yearly meetings with my stock broker/investor, I mentioned I wanted to buy some stock in the company........this guy was not a car guy and had never heard of CS nor any of his cars, so he had no opinion on the matter.....he did a quick five minute research into the company and told me in no uncertain terms he COULD NOT and WOULD NOT advise me to invest not even $1.00 in the company....
He said I'd have a better return on my money by going to a casino and playing Blackjack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I'm not much of a gambler,especially at Blackjack...........
He was telling me the results of his quicky research, using a lot of mumbo jumbo stock market terms I did not understand, but his bottom line was he was surprised the company was still in existance and some things he uncovered were borderline criminal......
The reason for the stock purchase was to mess with a close friend and long time Shelby owner...........I bought some stock anyway, mainly for the certificate and to show up my ole buddy.........
As of the close today, I am a whopping $32.00 ahead on my investment...........maybe tomorrow I'll sell out and take the wifey to a cheap buffet for supper!!!!!!!!!!!!
