The average ticker hound-or, as they used to call him, tape-worm-goes wrong, I suspect, as much from over-specialization as from anything else. It means a highly expensive inelasticity. After all, the...

And now I'll get back to October, 1907. I bought a yacht and made all preparations to leave New York for a cruise in Southern waters. I am really daffy about fishing and this was the time when I was g...

Not long after I closed my July cotton deal more successfully than I had expected I received by mail a request for an interview. The letter was signed by Percy Thomas. Of course I immediately answered...
Chapter 13
There I was, once more broke, which was bad, and dead wrong in my trading, which was a sight worse. I was sick, nervous, upset and unable to reason calmly. That is, I was in the frame of mind in which...

Among the hazards of speculation the happening of the unexpected-I might even say of the unexpectable-ranks high. There are certain chances that the most prudent man is justified in taking-chances tha...
Chapter 16
Tips! How people want tips! They crave not only to get them but to give them. There is greed involved, and vanity. It is very amusing, at times, to watch really intelligent people fish for them. And t...
