Famous fund manager peter lynch once said if you like a product, find out who the owner is because maybe the owner represents a good stock to buy. On that principle, when i heard my family kept going to a company in my neighborhood called fresh fields, and organic food chain, i began to say maybe its an investment year, so i looked into it, and it turns out fresh fields was looking for some capital. My firm invested. We love the company. Then along came a Company Called whole foods who said they wanted to buy it. I initially said i did not want to sell, but when i met john mackey, i realized he had a gifted vision of where this business was going to go, so we did sell, enter turned out he was right.
