Hey Susan; good evening.
(laughing)
How’s Charmagne?
Charmagne’s good. Charmagne’s good.
How are you doing?
Not so good.
Well (Inaudible words – speaking at the same time).
No; I’m fine. I’m no bonus this year.
Yes. Okay.
Huge merger. I’m trying to figure things out as far as my parents, as far as the kids.
So, what does the merger mean to you? I mean.
Well, that’s – that is a big thing going on with us.
Yes.
They may let me go. I’m a little higher up. They usually bring their own Executives in.
Ow.
Yes. Don’t tell anyone, I said the GTS.
GTS? Is merging with (Inaudible words). Wow.
Yes. Gosh; GTS, I wish I could get in on that stuff. That would be amazing. That I – then, I wouldn’t have to worry about anything.
Can’t you buy into a GTS?
Actually no; but you could.
Huh?
Ah silly.
What do you – what do you mean?
Actually, you could. It’s not public yet. So, you cannot tell anyone. It’s totally not public yet. Well, the ink hasn’t even dried.
Yes. Yes.
But if – if you, could you afford to buy some stock?
No.
(laughing)
No; I’m.
That’s too bad.
I’m not near being able to invest in the market at this point. I – I’ve been thinking about retirement a lot lately.
I can help you out. I can’t buy them, because I still work there. But, if you wanted to, Jack, I could totally help you out. I’ll help you buy the stock. We split them fifty/fifty. We share the profit. Get a couple hundred shares. They’re like at forty bucks a share. I could bring you a check tomorrow.
But how soon is it going to go up? Sometimes, when mergers happen, it goes down.
Oh no; this one’s going to be a good thing.
Definitely.
Definitely.
Is that legit for me to do?
Totally legit. You’re the one buying. The stocks are going to go out of the ceiling. It’s going to hit the streets pretty soon. You want to get the stocks now while they’re hot. No – you’re not moving anything. It sounds like a win/win to me.
True.
What do you think?
Well, I – I – it’s interesting. I mean now that I think about it, but it’s – it’s interesting.
I’m thinking about it too. I’m think about I may not have a job there.
Yes. Well, let me.
I mean if you’re interested, I can come by and – honestly, I can come by tomorrow and give you the money. I can tell you who to call.
Right. All right; let me sleep on it tonight. And come back tomorrow and we’ll – we’ll talk some more. Want another one?
No; I’m going to go.
Okay. Good to see you.
It’s good to see you too. I tell you what, keep the change on – on that.
Thanks Sarah.
You’re welcome. Hey Hal; - - had a crazy conversation with a – a customer. It sounds like a – an incredible deal that I – I think I got to jump on.
Yes? What’s up?
Well, I was talking about a – a company is – is merging with GTS, which is big.
Yes.
(Inaudible words – speaking at the same time.)
Yes.
And, there’s an opportunity there to – to get in on it now. And, she thinks the – the stocks are going to go through the roof.
Oh, yes. Is – is it a good deal?
It sounds like it’s a no risker. (laughing) No really, I mean she said it’s – you know it’s a definite that the – that the merger is happening. And, that the stocks are going to hit the roof.
And, you trust her?
I trust that – I mean I’ve known her for years. She’s been a great customer. I know her family. I don’t know anything about stocks though. I mean you’ve – you have a broker. You do trading. Right?
Sure. Yes. Yes. No; it sounds like you’re having a good day (laughing).
Yes; I don’t think it’s something I should pass up.
Yes. You think maybe it’s something I could get in on?
Sure. I don’t see why not.
Yes.
I mean you know a broker right?
Yes. Yes; definitely. I’ll talk to him.
