The Sheriff Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 For those of you interested you can buy a piece of history for only .28 cents. That's right..28cents. You can buy a share of Carroll Shelby stock for only .28 a share. Who knows, you could invest 39K and in 6 months it could go to .56 cents and you get a car for free. I wouldn't call this a blue chip stock but hey....you never know Check it out. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=CSBI.PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It moved a few cents up then back down a few weeks ago and then has just sat still. I actually bought about 600 shares but somehow my transaction got lost. I was wondering if it was a sign....? I'm wondering how the new prospects with the SGT, Supersnake, Kr and ? is going to affect the company. It's so hard to find good financial info on the company other than they have been struggling from about 03 on. Check out the majority shareholders on the yahoo report. I wonder if any of those Johns are the one's we chat with - I don't know their last names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if any of those Johns are the one's we chat with - I don't know their last names. Maybe John E. Carheart is AKA Carroll E. Shelby. I didn't even see Carroll Shelby's name as a major stockholder. Maybe he makes most of his money signing autographs. Maybe he owns stock in Fender Guitars. How about those unlucky people who bought 100K shares @ $5.00 in 03. When I hear that Warren Buffett is interested in buying it, that's when I will dive in. P.S. Maybe your 600 shares are still sitting in the mod shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattInDetroit Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I would so love to buy some. I'm a sucker for brands I love even when it doesn't make sense. We'll see. I love what the company is doing but not how they're executing. I think they have a lot of passionate people working there who want nothing else than to produce the best product possible but they need to also have operational excellence and I just don't see that. I think Amy has brought a lot to the company and refocused it but I think they need a COO to oversee some of the day to day operations and IT. As I have posted in the past there is no reason the VIN tracker has to be so wacky and unhelpful, marketing so anemic (don't get me going on the web site)., and dealer/customer relations so hard. There is just so much that could be done to off-load the resource intensive operations they have and allow people to focus on the real business it's unreal and it doesn't have to be expensive! This is what I do for a living and seeing some of the things I see here drive me nuts! This place is a gold mine that has so much potential but the owners are still using picks and shovels...sure you get some gold out but nothing like what could be had. Here is my 180 day action list (no particular order) for the new COO: 1. Understand each job and how it fits into the whole 2. Review past marketing and sales plans 3. Review existing contracts and new program development 4. Understand organizational goals and objectives 5. Learn the culture 6. Learn the people 7. Top down analysis of current processes 8. Review IT support, systems, and processes 10. Ask co-workers what the obstacles are within their sphere 11. Ask customers what their obstacles were 12. Ask dealers what their obstacles were 13. Understand the forecast and sales projections 14. Understand the cost structure and constraints on investment 15. Buy a new sign to replace the one on ropes! (maybe move this to #1) 16. Install an integrated CRM, sales, ordering, manufacturing & scheduling, logistics and accounting system 17. Provide best in class on-line tools for customers to gain information, and place and track orders 18. Make sure plans are scaleable and repeatable 19. Look to create more "standard" packages at greatest possible margin 20. Look to ramp up mod shop as a high value, high margin, differentiator 21. Sponsor a race team 22. Build better relationship with Ford dealers and sales people. Spiffs, commission on referrals etc., 23. Create a better marketing/sales plan ( for example why no Shelby catalog in each car...HELLO!) 24. Do a better job selling the brand, (why no online store for brand merchandise the one that is just shows out of stock on most items...talking about shirts, cups, etc.). Ok..I'm tired...but you get the idea...of course I think I can run everything so there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friendly takeover would be possible. You would have my vote for being named the new COO. I would work for free and so would half the people on this forum. I would love to be responsible for keeping the vin tracker up to date on a daily basis. I would even have a web site so each customer could follow the daily progress of their car. Do shareholders have access to financial info like annual reports, etc. That info is hard to find on the web. One thing is certain we WILL keep Amy on and give her a big raise OK ...Bud too!

stump_breaker Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hmmmm, the SAI folk are reamining quiet. A little too quiet if you ask me. I saw a dealer advertising a SGT on Ebay as 1 of 4000 only going to be made. I wonder if he knows something nobody else does including SAI? Not to beat a dead horse....... That sure wouldn't help stock prices to miss a goal by 2000 cars - not saying that's hapening just making conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07shelbygt109 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Stocks are a funny business. A few years back I bought a Mac computer just to give Apple another try. I liked it much better than my windows computer and thought the company had some good things coming down the pike. Against the advice of my broker I bought some shares. Low and behold the stock has doubled in the last year. When Apple announced they were going to start using Intel processors I bought some shares of Intel, with my brokers blessing by the way. As of today I have lost roughly half of my investment in Intel. I guess you never can tell what will happen. I think I may have to buy some Shelby stocks. You never know, maybe they will double in a year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know, maybe they will double in a year too. I was browsing through financial statements and they have had a really bad couple of years. It also looks like there stock was the victim of a pump and dump in 2004 right before it really went down. I'm staying optimistic and I really think it's going to come back up. I'm thinking of going ahead and buying a few thousand shares but it seems companies have this bad habbit of going out of business after I buy them. Heck, I have 20,000 worthless shares in dper.pk - yet another pump and dump Look them up and have a good laugh..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stump_breaker Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Too bad you didn't buy more Apple! LOL, I should have guessed that was coming Mr. iPod. Actually I'm kicking myself for not doing so. Before the iPod debuted, Apple shares were L-O-W and I thought of buying about 1000 shares. They were something like $3-$5 each then but I really thought Apple was finished - another victim of Microsoft, the Wal-Mart of the computer industry. Now look at them.

I found out yesterday from my broker that there are 13.7 million shares outstanding with a float of 11.1 million shares. I discussed this stock in depth yesterday with my broker so maybe someone in their office took MY advice.

Shelby has made a gross profit on the sale of the SGT alone @ $45million dollars. This has not yet hit the profit sector of the stock. Once it hits the profit sector the stock should jump to approx. $.60-75 cents. Then after FOMOCO signs a real contract with them on the SS and GT500KR the stock again will jump "once it sells and hits the profit sector". Shelby is a company that makes and sells high flying quality products that appeal to the people who have the money to buy them. I say the stock is a buy @ .37-.50 cents, plus you can still get a stock certificate on this particular company I believe. Thats my .37 cents.
