I have first hand knowledge of a fortune 500 company that has placed two davids in positions of authority. On the minimum, their management decisions have cost the company millions. If only the shareholders had a clue.....

Which companies?

Unfortunately, I am close to the situation and therefore unable to reveal identities due to possible conflict of interest.

That said, once upon a time, I worked for another fortune 500 company that eventually went bankrupt. One of the largest investment firms in the country called me up and asked me if I would be interested in purchasing ten million dollars in stock for the low low price of $5K. I mentioned that now that the company was bankrupt, the stock wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. I could hear the heavy sigh on the other end of the phone. "How could this happen? We NEVER SAW THIS COMING".

I'm always surprised at just how LITTLE some investors know about the inner and outer workings of the companies they are invested in.

Sometimes just a simple interface with the sales and/or customer service department will reveal a boat load of information.

I'm always amazed at the hiring practices of many companies. They place total morons in charge who then proceed at full speed to make every bad business/hiring decision they can in the least amount of time possible.

These bad hiring decisions coupled with just plain bad business decisions end up costing the company $$$$$$$$ and yet, the board of directors and president of the business remain CLUELESS.

In other words you are making it up.

That was not an investment firm calling you, it was a Nigerian Prince. He called me too.

I wish it had been a Nigerian Prince because I was one of the creditors who lost big $$$$$$ in the deal. Let's just say myself and thousands of other creditors and shareholders got a REAL lesson in Chapter 11 Federal Bankruptcy.

~yawn~

$10m for $5k and you fell for it? You deserved to lose it ... if it were true that is. Alex Jones has a better history of telling the truth than you do.

Man you're really starting to slip. Used to have some pretty high quality BS stories, bring your game back!

Actually, his last comment about insight is a pretty good one. My mother's co-worker ran a Ryder maintenance shop. He'd ***** to his wife that their biggest problem was that they couldn't buy enough trucks to lease to customers. Mom looked into Ryder, bought stock, and make a pile of money.

My cousin used to be a tree-hugging, socialist, hippy. But, she's worked hard, smart, and long. She's also lived well within her means (common among tree-huggers), and woke up one day a multi-millionaire.

There's a factory down the road from her where the parking lot was steadily getting fuller and fuller. Then it started being full at night, second shift. She did her research, bought stock in the company, and made a pile of money.

She's now intrigued by Range Rovers. A tree-hugging, socialist hippy intrigued by Range Rovers is no longer a tree-hugging, socialist hippy.

There are investment (and disinvestment) clues all around us. A lot of people saw this whole COVID-19 thing coming from literally 3000 miles away. I mostly got out at the end of 2019. As of March 31st, I'm only down about 2.5% in Q1 2020. A couple of my friends are down 30%.

I see once again husky man is making up stories as he goes along ~ so now he's a millionaire who runs major industries and is on corporate boards...

In other words, more bull$#yte .

"

! Good thing they hired you right ? .

Whew, they dodged a bullet there .

" I wish it had been a Nigerian Prince because I was one of the creditors who lost big $$$$$$ in the deal. Let's just say myself and thousands of other creditors and shareholders got a REAL lesson in Chapter 11 Federal Bankruptcy. " so now he's a Nigerian Prince.....

I know ~ husky man should go to Hollywood, they love far fetched fanciful storytelling....

A top New York investment firm broker offering to sell ten million worth of stock in a defunct, bankrupt company sounds a little strange. It certainly did when he called me. I now believe he was concerned about getting sued by the investors he had steered into buying stock.

When a man makes a major bad financial decision, he becomes desperate and desperate men tend to do desperate things. Sadly, neither he nor his investors had taken one hour of their precious lives to step one foot into the 500+ retail stores to see first hand that both sales and customer service was NON-EXISTENT.

Men.

Interesting!

so an F500 company should not hire davids.

should they ask a shaman or an ouija board?

You just don't know the half of it. These two have single handedly caused more financial trauma on the business than a thousand men could ever hope to inflict. Sadly, both the brass and the investors are totally clueless about what goes on when it comes to direct interface to the customers. They must live on another planet.

Total morons with total moronic business ideas that they turned into reality which is really hosing the company on about ten different levels. Tell you what, I'll reserve the Davids of this world for your business.

Good luck.

There is always the lone ranger. All I know is the screwing this particular business has taken at the hands of the two Davids is beyond comprehension. They simply aren't watching the store.
