Believe that they were a Jewish family and estate confiscated during the war is the site of large VW plant. Reparations were underway some years ago when I heard the story from a relative. A successful outcome to the action would no doubt have proved at least a ten-bagger plus

I'm pretty sure mine was Metlifecare in the IPO in 1994 if my memory serves me right

My wife worked @ Cadbury & got a decent sized bundle through the staff share scheme in the late 1990's. Taken over some time later, good result for us.

I bought my first shares in the 1998 Auckland Airport float, and still have them.

In 1988 bought Capital markets,Robt Jones Investments and Brierleys totaling $20,000 plus brokerage $800 from Were and Co
Sold all in 1996 for $1500 to pay for a 1/3rd carot engagement ring!

I started trading in 1986 with a purchase of Anzon Investments Limited - they were a subsidiary of Chase Corp.

My first share was 'Off-market' shares I bought on PledgeMe for Parrotdog Brewry. I paid $1 per share. It looks like their revenue is expanding.. will I ever be able to sell them for more than $1 per share..?

I think they had another capital raising at a higher price than the first . The Parrot Dog bar is very busy at Lyall Bay , providing you maximum returns on what’s brewed .
I think you should be right .
