Geen garanties voor de toekomst, maar ik heb het gevoel dat AMG momenteel een blowfish is.
Schimmelbusch began his career at Metallgesellschaft AG (MG AG), also known as MG, in 1973. Schimmelbusch was the Chief Executive Officer (1989 to 1993) of Metallgesellschaft, a German industrial conglomerate.[1] Metallgesellschaft AG based in Frankfurt was one of Germany's largest industrial conglomerates. It had over 250 subsidiaries specializing in mining, specialty chemicals (Chemetall), commodity trading, financial services and engineering (Lurgi). Under the leadership of CEO Schimmelbusch, Metallgesellschaft entered the oil business by selling fuel to customers (such as gasoline stations) via its American subsidiary, MG Refining and Marketing in the form of fixed price long term contracts (up to 10 years).[6] Metallgesellschaft attempted to hedge its exposure to rising oil prices on the futures market.[1] Unfortunately, in 1993, oil prices began to drop and Metallgesellschaft's derivatives strategy turned into extensive paper losses.[6] The company's largest shareholder, Deutsche Bank found out and responded by ousting Schimmelbusch and liquidating Metallgesellschaft's positions which turned the virtual losses into real losses.[6] The decision by the MG AG supervisory board to end MG Refining and Marketing (MGRM)'s marketing program early - against loud protests from Schimmelbusch and the management board - precipitated massive international controversy. Metallgesellschaft almost went bankrupt after losing an estimated $1.3 billion on speculative bets in oil future markets.
