Candwich News

I saw this and could not resist bringing it to the attention to this group of financial over-achievers. Seems like I once again missed out on the [-]commercial real estate loans[/-] sandwich-in-a-can deal. That is, unless Vanguard picked it up in the TSM per chance.

So this finance guy in Utah had some creative investment ideas, according to the SEC.


A loan to a company looking to sell canned sandwiches in vending machines, for example. (Candwich!)

Also, an equity investment in a company that sells rose petals with text printed on them. (Speaking roses!)
But there was a problem, the SEC said in a lawsuit filed this month.
The guy raised the cash for his investments by telling investors that he would use their money to make commercial real estate loans.
