Coleman-Zachs Investment Bank The ride goes up and down, around and around. David Zachs - CEO It has thrills and chills, and it’s very brightly coloured, and it’s very loud, and it’s fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder… Is this real, or is this just a ride?
