If You Could Own Any Company, What Would It Be And Why?

FTV that guy gets a mad number of chicks.

Other than that for a pure money play Exxon Mobil without a doubt or for the coolness factor Ferrari.

google, in the palo alto campus, that place rocks from the pictures I have seen.

any music recording industry...hang with the rockers and jam with them

Retailers' margins are so thin, same with energy/oil companies.

XOM has 4x EBITDA of GS. Own XOM and LBO GS.

Again, most valuable, sell, retire

Standard oil is an excellent choice and would probably be what I would pick
- If you said it had to be a business still running, I'd probably go with Walmart and try to make it... less evil, who cares, I'm bloody rich!

Don't like the future prospect of XOM. Think replenishing reserve, think oil peak.

So what oil going to $100/barrel, if you cant find more, you are done. And try liquidate bunch of oil rigs...

50 years down the road, you would be glad you have GS instead of XOM.

I think bunch of existing hedge funds are bigger and better than LTCM.

So much for bunch of finance professors.... JWN Partners still exist by the way.

 

[multiband8303]

Hate the company....but I'd have to say Walmart - Walton would've been the richest man in the world if alive to this day, his assett split to his family and widow combined overwhelm (not by much) then Mr. Gates himself.


...and then I'd burn every store to the ground. Yay.

I'd rather have the top job at Oracle. Larry's got billions in stock, and a really bitchin' yacht and sailing team!
