Wouldn't you love to listen to the spiel and hear the numbers they present?

Amazingly, it's being reported that Commander Aircraft has found "new
investors" and is back up and running
Ya just gotta wonder where these guys keep finding investors?

present?

Commander (and Mooney) seem to have a rare talent for finding that most
unusual of all combinations in people: Stupidity and money.

My hat is off to them, and I wish them luck -- but they're going to lose
their shirts.

They may lose their shirts and be gone tomorrow but it they produce anything
worth a hoot it will be around for the next 100 or so years for people to
talk about.

Actually, I have -- I grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Huge money, huge boats, huge parties -- and certainly a bunch of stupid
actions. I've seen guys so drunk that they simply fell off the back of
their 48-foot yachts, and had to be fished out with a pole.

However, although those people act like fools on the weekends, in my
experience they rarely act that way when it comes to investing their money.

I think he was referring to Boats in the sense of them being an
alternative "Money Pit". The joke is down here in Houston (with the
largest recreational boat fleet in the US on Clear Lake) that you can
save lots of time by just going out to the peir and dumping your money
in the water by the bucket.. instead of actually spending it on your
boat.... Kinda like airplanes... now that your think of it.

Actually I think he meant that there are lots of old boats still in use,
built by companies no longer in business. Lack of factory support hasn't
sunk them...

More registered 'watercraft' in Michigan than any other state...

and yes, they are money pits too....

Why do people keep bringing up super money holes? Things would be fine just
talking about airplanes.
