    Story With A Moral

    Story with a Moral




    In 1923, Who Was:

    1. President of the largest steel company?

    2. President of the largest gas company?

    3. President of the New York Stock Exchange?

    4. Greatest wheat speculator?

    5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?

    6. Great Bear of Wall Street?




    These men
    were considered
    some of the worlds most successful
    of their days.


    Now,
    80 years later,
    the history book asks us,
    if we know
    what ultimately became of them.



    The Answers:

    1. The president of the largest steel company.
    Charles Schwab,
    died a pauper.

    2. The president of the largest gas company,
    Edward Hopson,
    went insane.

    3. The president of the NYSE,
    Richard Whitney,
    was released from prison
    to die at home.

    4. The greatest wheat speculator,
    Arthur Cooger,
    died abroad, penniless.

    5. The president
    of
    the Bank of International Settlement,
    shot himself.

    6. The Great Bear of Wall Street,
    Cosabee Livermore,
    also committed suicide.

    However:
    in that same year,
    1923,
    the PGA Champion
    and
    the winner of
    the
    most important golf tournament,
    the US Open,
    was
    Gene Sarazen.
    What became of him?


    He played golf until he was 92,
    died in 1999 at the age of 95.
    He was financially secure
    at the time of his death.

    The Moral:

    Screw work.
    Play golf.
    My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.
