Can add a couple of memories. At the same time I had stock in Aloha-------I also had stock in Toyo Koyo.

No they weren't in transistor radios.

Toyo Koyo was a predecessor of Mazda-----believe also that Ford ended up with some interest. Toyo was working on the Wankel Engine.

Now that takes me back to Wally Minto and Tilco Company or Corporation, believe they were in Florida. I still have a stock certificate for after they were declared worthless-----had some associates who were all excited about Minto's new designs. The company did a new issue went up and had press releases was featured in Popular Science or Popular Mechanics----and of course came back down. What I don't know is whether or not Minto ever made in personal money out of Tilco.

We all love story stocks----however it is the stories that often cause our losses as we get mesmerized by the story.
