They recently did an IPO, I assumed they were a part of some traded entity. This brand has been around for my whole life. I bought a few just to keep it on my radar but it would seem as though it could be a good place to park for a while

Not the first time it has had an IPO. Research David Murdock and Dole. He did some shady dealings when he bought them out in 2013.

he wanted the company for the island dole owned... was more of a real estate guy ....i believe the island was used for a few big name weddings...he could keep journalist out except for the fly overs and first x(?) feet of beach which is public ( at least to natives)

he also took a lot of historic stuff from islands to use around his house and pool. was caught but i do not recall him giving them back...

bought a bunch of chevron (?) surface land .....chevron kept the minerals... pistachio farms in california.

United Fruit pretty much ran the half the countries in the Western hemisphere at one time.

Theres a good book called Banana about it
