A short quiz & some observation

Do u know who, in 1923, 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 International Settlement?
  6. Great Bear of Wall Street?


These men should have been considered some of the world’s most successful men. At least, they found the secret of making money. Now almost 80 years later, do u know what became of these men?

  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 NYSE, Richard Whitney, was released from prison to die at home.
  4. The greatest wheat speculator, Author Cooger, died abroad, penniless.
  5. The president of Bank of International Settlement shot himself.
  6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Livermore, died of suicide.


In the same year, 1923, Gene Sarazan, who won both US Open & PGA Championship. He died in 1999 at the age of 95, played golf until he was 92 & was financially solvent at his death.



Conclusion: Stop worry about business & other bullshit & start playing golf.
