Mark,
What are the chances of LaRue ever turning into a publicly traded company? If so, I'd like a chance to get in on the ground floor. These are amazing rifles. Seems a very worthy investment opportunity. I'm sure I'm not alone. |
| please no... at least not till after I receive my rifle. Not that I begrudge Mark or anyone at LT any profits, but for some reason when companies go public, profits become more important than the quality of product. I joined this wait specifically for the quality of the product and have the highest of expectations. |
|
Lets not add SCC regulations on top of all the other government regulations LaRue already has to deal with...
You could always ask Mark if the company is open for private / angel investors. You'd need a big chunk of change though as it is usually tens of thousands per investment though completely dependent on the company. Either way, I've already invested in LaRue... multiple times... My dividends are sitting in my gun safe. :D |

Bad idea, IMHO.
Stock holders want big profits and don't care about quality, they just want to keep costs low and prices high. With LaRue that would kill their business especially because financials are reported quarterly....BTW, I'm 17 months in on a 5.56 tOBR. Yes they can forecast the sale, but then that would mean collecting the entire amount or at least 1/2 of the cost up front and that is not their policy. |

Quoted:
Mark, What are the chances of LaRue ever turning into a publicly traded company? ZERO in the short or medium term. It's basically selling your name to someone else. Can you imagine LT without Mark (or family) always being in control ? It would probably work out as well as AAC's sale by Brittingham. A miserable and sordid tale. Also try searching " Landry's lawsuit Tillman Fertitta" to see how well these things work. |
