LTV Corporation

A lot of companies got their start at the fair.

Jim Ling started the multi-billion dollar LTV company by selling stock at the state fair of Texas.

But it's not often that you find a really successful business that goes out to the fair to sell their wares.

For the first time.

Fifth grade.

And my grandmother explained to me, uh, the stock market and, uh, LTV steel just came out of bankruptcy.

And I thought, Oh yeah, we should buy LTV steel.

You know, it's from Cleveland.

Uh, yeah.

You know, there was a time, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Youngstown, places like this around here called the Rust Belt, used to be called the Steel Belt.

But there was a time where LTV Steel, it's called, I forget what it's called now, but I'll think of it.

I can see it.

I've driven by it like 100 times in the last month.
