After a great Thanksgiving week with my children and their spouses, we all waited with baited breath for TNA to start trading on Monday morning. The clock on TNA stock would start at eleven a.m. after the overall market had stabilized – at least that was the theory.
The ticker started trading immediately with some large lot purchases. TNA opened at $40, and by the close of business it was trading at $62 per share – over a fifty-percent gain. Kim, Debbie, some of the other executives, and I were dancing around the War Room with glee. We had been getting richer by the hour. I expected a downturn in the next day or so after some initial profit taking.
Kim had so much stock under her name that she became a multi-millionaire that day – a big time, multi-millionaire. As private stock, it was virtually worthless except for the value of the paper it was printed on and the physical assets of TNA, which might have been $20 or $30 million on a good day. In the open market, however, TNA had real value and that included brand, good will, intellectual property, market position, our employee loyalty, revenue potential, the great management team, our community relations, prospects, the order book, and more.
I never knew until that day that Kim had about three million shares in her name. The company held several million more shares. She’d been paying herself that way and not just me. She did get some cash and had done well with that, too. She was a very happy CEO, and also now had money to do the mergers and acquisitions that would make the company even more valuable. Many times, that day, I found her in my arms as we kissed and hugged in our joy. She actually had tears most of the day, and kept muttering ‘Holy shit!’
I did note that Fidelity had bought in for huge block of stock. I called Doug personally to thank him for thinking of us. Kim talked to him, and promised him all sorts of sexual rewards for his loyalty.
The phones started to ring off the hook from other brokers and analysts wanting more details about the company. We were prepared with official public and preliminary handouts that were legal and responded to many of their needs and questions. Now, we had to be extra cautious about insider trades beyond what had already been put on file. Pre-IPO, TNA has about 450 stockholders, among them all employees, various family members, some customers, and, of course, the Circle.
Also aiding the stock price was the price of oil – the planet’s great fossil fuel. The price over Thanksgiving week rose from $66 for Brent Crude Oil to $89 with little hope that it would decline in the near future. Thus, alternative energy sources were nudged towards being in greater demand. Ergo, TNA’s prospects rose.
By Friday, when the markets closed, TNA was trading at $152 per share. There’d been a dip with some early profit taking the day before, but it rebounded stronger than ever. I told Kim that this was a genuine ‘Holy Shit’ moment – we just couldn’t believe the performance and market acceptance of our stock. Kim talked to our contact at the NASDAQ and he laughed and said for us to enjoy the run-up. He reminded us that what went up could also come down.
The rest of the business went on as planned. TNA’s order book went through the roof – another ‘Holy Shit’. If we were public, people knew they could count on us to make good on things. We were no longer the little company that might; we were the company that would.
I was on the phone to the company heads that I’d talked to months earlier about coming under the TNA umbrella. They were suddenly highly interested, especially since part of the deal would be trades of their relatively worthless stock for public shares of TNA and some other perquisites. We wanted one CEO on our board. If we bought them, we knew that their order books would also go up dramatically just by being part of TNA.
Over the past months, despite the focus on the NASDAQ listing, we’d also done our due diligence on the purchase of the companies. We launched those activities, and planned on purchase closings just before the first of the year so their impact on the company earnings and its shares would show up in the quarterly reports at the end of the year. This helped make the stock go up further – ‘Holy Shit!’
Things went well. We announced to the analysts and firms watching us, what was going on as each of the two modestly large deals closed. Everyone loved what we were doing. The end of year stock price was $313. Kim was crying and praying every day hoping that the bubble wouldn’t burst. I stated, ‘Holy Shit’ by the hour, in one month the stock price had risen almost 800 percent. There were news articles about the company that helped drive demand. We became the ‘Must have’ stock to own.
I had two more companies to add to the TNA portfolio early the next year. We used some of the smarter executives in the new subsidiaries to manage the actual merger of their assets, and some of the cross-selling opportunities that I’d seen well over a year earlier. By the end of the first quarter, we had two more under the tent, and three more being considered. We were expansion happy.
A couple of companies we hadn’t know about contacted us to see if we might be interested in buying them out. We kept the War Room going, only it became focused on doing the due diligence regarding each of the purchases or offers. We set up teams for each of the companies to do the studies and due diligence. TNA was hiring as fast we could find good people. We also developed a reputation as one of the best employers to work for in the country. A featured article about that drove up the stock price.
The stock price did level out for a while, but by mid-year, it was trading at $566 per share, about fourteen times its opening strike less than a year earlier. Kim appeared on the list of American billionaires for the first time, unique in that she was a woman CEO.
My holdings of TNA stock prior to the IPO had come near to 120,000 shares. As an individual, I was rich beyond measure. I slowly diversified about ten percent of my portfolio, just the way Kim did. Doug at Fidelity was huge help and put Kim and I in contact with some very helpful people in that regard.
I paid off the mortgages that each my children had on their homes. I didn’t do more, lest they start to depend on me for money. I wanted to ease their lives not take them over. They knew I was their back-up plan in any case. Without those monthly payments they were able to have more financial independence in any case. No one was going wild – yet.
On another front over that same time period, I more formally proposed to Kim when we were at the Circle for Christmas. I had a gorgeous diamond ring that cost a fortune in my old, pre-IPO life, and at our Christmas Eve dinner, I got down on my knee and asked one of the most important questions of my life. She said, “Yes”, with great enthusiasm.
After a lot of discussion with Kim and Debbie, with the Circle, and with Todd, Marcy, Scott, and Karolann, we flew my daughters and spouses to Camp Forge to celebrate Christmas with the Circle. The discussions had focused on the ethos of the Circle and the expectations about the open sex. Kim and I were as open as we could be about what our lifestyle had become and what our behaviors were when with our Circle friends.
