What company would you like to own?

[Dis]

Say you could own any company in the world, what would you want to own?

I know the logical choice would be Playboy, but that's a juvenile response, so I will attempt to put more thought into my answer.

I would want something environmentally friendly, that develops alternative fuels, but still has a base that can actually make money. Preferribly american so I don't have to fly overseas . Canadian would do in a pinch. One that is into research and development over pure expansionist policy. I'm not sure such a company exists, however. So maybe I'll go with Playboy after all.

If it were around 25 years ago i would have liked to own Atari.
They had brilliant eployees and, among other godies, a hot tub at the office that its employees were really alowed to use (and did so regularly )

A company that has lots of physical resources and few people.

If your company is people heavy, they will bail out as soon as they found out that you are not a winner.

True winners do not have the time to spam internet message boards everyday.

This is why you go for the most valuable company and SELL!

Wrong, buzzard breath. True winners know time management and have no problem posting.

Winners know time management, and know that in the 5 minutes they spent of each hour posting, they are losing $500.

True winners don't care

5 minutes? Slacker.

If I could own any company in the world, I would chose to own none. That is the way to happiness.

If I was forced to own one, probably one of the biggest most *******rific big-business corporations which owns (and buries) lots of patents for clean technology. I'd then get assassinated (perhaps figuratively, perhaps literally) trying to turn it around and live on in conspiracy theories.

British East India Company, so I could oppress and exploit the darkies and sell opium to Chinese peasants.

I'd take the Dutch East India Company so that we could have cool sea battles for fun and profit.
