Partisanship aside- is buying shares of

Peter don't listen to Paul, he's a certified eediat.

Seriously though, before investing in shares or anything for that matter, you've first got to determine how long you want to have your money tied up before you see the returns. The Empire's stocks will continue to rise within the next 5 years. That is inevitable. We will finish at the top or very close to the top of the BPL next season and we will reach at least the semi-finals of the Champions League also. That is guaranteed. The variables however, are:
1. the starting price. Hopefully they start at a conservative price to attract investors, like yourself.
2. When Sir Alex Ferguson retires and who is his successor
Those should be your ONLY two concerns. You are a risk taker so stop sweating the details. Leave that to bighead who over-thinks everything and is afraid of his shadow.
Contrary to what bighead believes, the Empire is a well managed club. The "Arsenal model" that bighead loves to extol, has been in place at the Empire for years now. The difference is, like any good corporation, its assets were leveraged to raise capital so that it can maintain and compete in a modern day business environment.....while producing results, thereby growing the product. Right now, the Empire has the biggest foothold in Asia, than any of the big clubs and is poised to grow even further with the acquisition of the Japanese. South Korea still loves us even though we soon get rid of their wild son.

If I had the crazy money like you sitting around, I would invest at least 1/3 of it into the Empire shares. So go crazy with your US$1500 and collect your 3 shares certificate (if you get that much) and watch the money roll in my friend.

Now we have Jangle giving investment advice. Lord save us. I gwine start call you "Warren Muppet". LOL!!!
