If you make informed decisions and approach your penny stock investments with the same thoroughness that you’d use in your other investments, you too can unlock a whole lot of profit potential. Learn here https://tr.im/M3Srr

It’s absolutely true that penny stock investors can make very quick gains. Synutra International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYUT) is a great example of a penny stock. This dairy-based, nutritional-products company has jumped from a little Bulletin Board operation to a billion dollar corporation. The company finally graduated from Over-the-Counter status to the NASDAQ Stock Market bringing with it 113% gains in less than two months.

This happens all the time and it’s how some of the best investors in the world became the richest investors in the world. Buying some shares for pennies on the dollar and selling at $10 or $20 is possibly the fastest way from being a hobby investor to a super investor

Holiday Inn is a brand name applied to hotels within the InterContinental Hotels Group.

InterContinental Hotels Group can be traced back to 1777 when William Bass began a brewery in Burton upon Trent. In 1876 their red triangle trademark was the first registered in the United Kingdom.

In 1989 the British Government limited the number of pubs brewers could directly own, so Bass began to grow their small line of hotels. In 1990 they purchased Holiday Inn International from Kemmons Wilson, expanding themselves into North America. In March 1998 they acquired the InterContinental brand, expanding into the luxury market.

In 2000 the company sold its brewing assets (and the rights to the Bass name) to the major Belgian brewer Interbrew for £2.3 billion and changed its named to Six Continents plc. InterContinental was created in 2003 after the company – then Six Continents Plc – split into two daughter companies: Mitchells and Butlers plc to handle restaurant assets and InterContinental to focus on hotels and soft drinks.

Britvic, the company's soft drinks division, was retained by IHG. It is the second largest soft drinks manufacturer in the United Kingdom by volume. It owns the Robinsons, Tango, Britvic, R Whites and J2O brands, and also has the franchise for the Pepsi and 7UP brands in Great Britain. In December 2005, IHG sold its interest in the company by an initial public offering.

The original Holiday Inn chain of hotels was founded in 1952 in Memphis, Tennessee, by homebuilder Kemmons Wilson to provide inexpensive family accommodation for travellers within the USA. Wilson opened the first Holiday Inn in September 1952 at 4941 Summer Avenue in Memphis on the main road to and from Nashville. In 1954, Wilson incorporated the chain with Wallace E. Johnson.

Wilson initially came up with the idea after a family road trip to Washington, DC, during which he was disappointed by the quality and consistency provided by the roadside motels of that era. The name Holiday Inn was given to the original hotel by his architect Eddie Bluestein as a joke, in reference to the Bing Crosby movie.
