Gamco Investors (GBL), Should We Play The Game?

Allan Edwards CEO of The Markets Are Open has found another stock which has a dual class structure. GAMCO Investors (GBL), CEO Mario Gabelli has nearly 95% of the voting shares and 72% of the equity interest. Gabelli was once thought of as a famed investor but has had his reputation tarnished in recent years. There have been two high-profile lawsuits filed against his companies ended in combined settlements reportedly worth $230 million. He has also faced protests from his own investors over his large annual salaries.
