...American Stock Exchange last month, he traveled to Manhattan to get the usual VIP treatment: a tour of the exchange, lunch with the officers, the chance to buy the first shares of the traded stock. What he experienced did not sit well with Smith, who first began stamping out roof fittings on a press in his father's basement. Last week, in a controversy that vastly embarrassed the exchange, he demanded that Wolverine stock be delisted...
