Post Gordon ~ Thoughts, Commentary & Reflections

Yo! GreyHound!

Welcome to Gordon!!

/Hey, that's truckin'. Sorry if I'm not feeling all that terrible. Wouldn't wish a black cloud over anyone. But I've had SO much grief here critical of my narrative, questioning my description of my time with Gordon. Sheesh! I think I got to Green Bay at least three times and never saw the GB terminal.

So GreyHound already has ONE thing I didn't get. I didn't know CT had the money to buy ANYONE out by the looks of them! Sounds like GreyHound's narrative is destined to be... short. Once you're out of Orientation, your time is unpaid and Gordon's. Unpaid. Well, I think he gets mileage for the ride-along. The motel.

Back home now. Radio says more wind and rain but clear and lightly breezy now. 5 deaths in Illinois. 75 touch downs.

Sorry, GreyHound. Kinda.

tow, if HTLD offered to route you to some HTLD terminals to see the shops, talk to some drivers (of your own choosing), would you want to do that?


/If it were me, I'd want to see them on their home turf and not just wait for them to invade mine. But that's me. HTLD might not be friendly there. Yes, if you're gonna go (leave HTLD), they'd rather you went quietly, just shut the door behind you...

'Counting Scott, Larry and Steve's Money'

​

Scott Gordon

84,796 is such a nice, round number, isn't it? Well, it would be to me if I had 84,796 HTLD shares even if I had to wait until 2017 to cash it in and started out worth $14.37 per share. Like Scott Gordon. So what were 84,796 shares of Heartland worth on Nov. 11, 2013 when Scott acquired them?

Do the math: $1,218,518.

Small potatoes in the Gordon world.

Where does this info on Scott Gordon's HTLD shares come from? See: http://biz.yahoo.com/t/39/9202.html

Scott acquired those HTLD shares in the HTLD acquisition of Gordon Trucking. That's the nice thing about publicly-held companies. They have to post lots of information, for example, how many shares held by major shareholders and how those shares were acquired. Scott's a 'major' shareholder.

As of yesterday, when HTLD closed at $17.42, Scott's shares were worth $1,477,146, up $258,628. A good week for Scott. If it were me, every afternoon I'd probably pull up the stock price and check how my HTLD shares fluctuated for the day, up or down. At $17.42, Scott was actually down 10 cents a share yesterday (November 20, 2013), down $847.96.

Okay, skip lunch, right?



/Thursday, November 21, 2013. Little Steven's Underground Garage on WTTS, 92.3 FM for as long or as much as I stay awake. 10 pm to midnight.​

 

50th anniversary, assassination of Pres. John F. Kennedy today.

Walking to class (8th grade) when news came over PA.

Math teacher announced to class that JFK had died.

Four tv days like none before or after until 9/11.

Saw Ruby kill Oswald on live television.

There are events and then there are events.

Like 9/11, still reverberates through the culture.
