ONE IDEA.


Name: Rosemary Swenson

Home: Newbury Park

Age: 66

Occupation: Retired Superior Court clerk A court clerk, in British English clerk to the court or in American English clerk of the court is an officer of the court whose responsibilities include maintaining the records of a court. Another duty is to swear in witnesses, jurors, and grand jurors.  

One idea: Swenson bought 100 shares of Promus Hotel Corp. in 1999 for $24 each. Later that year, Hilton Hotels
For the company involved in the buy out please see Hilton Hotels Corporation. This hotel chain is not the company being acquired.
The Hilton brand was re-united internationally after more than 40 years in February 2006, when United States-based Hilton
 Corp. acquired Promus, and Swenson's 100 shares became 321. When Hilton recently hit an all-time high of $35, she more than quadrupled her original investment.

Quote: ``I like them so much. Hilton is an A1 hotel chain. They offer hotel stays for pretty much any budget. The good thing about them is they own the Hampton Inn up to the Waldorf Astoria.''
