[net.invest] FJS and Horses

Ho boy, have you hit on one strange outfit.  For the life of
me I can't understand how this company, First Jersey Securities,
ever made money once they showed the Company President looking
over his stable of horses.  I began to get suspicious when I
saw this ad.  Who would want to invest with someone who played
the horses, I said to myself.  The next thing I noticed was that
the guy had bought a horse farm in Tinton Falls, N. J..  He then
proceeded to turn the place into a showcase.  He must have spent
$100,000 alone on MATCHED holly trees to plant all the way
around the place.  The barn he put up looks better than most
$250,000+ houses in the area.  The two gates to the place,
with guard shacks, tv, etc., look better than the entrance to
the White House.  He calls the place "DUE PROCCESS".  I wonder
what he means by that?  

I have a good friend down the street from me who works for
this outfit.  He has tried to interest me in investing with
them, but I have managed to weasel out of any commitments
without damaging the friendship, so far.  I have been reading
about FJS's problems for over two years now, so I would steer
clear( or is that stear?) of FJS.  From what I have read over
this period, FJS has a bad habit of churning accounts.  Good
for the company, but hell on your account.  I expect that
FJS will be visiting SEC soon for a reckoning.

The FJS horse farm must be the fanciest layout in the East. It
probably is expensive enough so that it will be impossible
to make any money breeding horses. This will provide some
individuals or companies with nice tax losses, I assume.

As for the name Due Process, I think that's probably the
name of a race horse. Of course it could also mean that
due process is used to separate people from their money :-) .

{eat me}
The FJS horse farm sure is one of the fanciest in the East, but the horses
don't run too well.  At least the one from Due Process I bet on at Monmouth
Park last Monday didn't run too well.
 
What an article to find in net.invest - a different kind of investing in
(on) horses.

Perhaps that's what he'll get when half a dozen three letter USG acronyms catch
up with him?  :-)
