Lines: 25 Ho boy, have you hit on one strange outfit. For the life of me I can't understand how this company, First Jersey Securities, ever made money once they showed the Company President looking over his stable of horses. I began to get suspicious when I saw this ad. Who would want to invest with someone who played the horses, I said to myself. The next thing I noticed was that the guy had bought a horse farm in Tinton Falls, N. J.. He then proceeded to turn the place into a showcase. He must have spent $100,000 alone on MATCHED holly trees to plant all the way around the place. The barn he put up looks better than most $250,000+ houses in the area. The two gates to the place, with guard shacks, tv, etc., look better than the entrance to the White House. He calls the place "DUE PROCCESS". I wonder what he means by that? I have a good friend down the street from me who works for this outfit. He has tried to interest me in investing with them, but I have managed to weasel out of any commitments without damaging the friendship, so far. I have been reading about FJS's problems for over two years now, so I would steer clear( or is that stear?) of FJS. From what I have read over this period, FJS has a bad habit of churning accounts. Good for the company, but hell on your account. I expect that FJS will be visiting SEC soon for a reckoning. T. C. Wheeler
