Saw an interesting documentary on the crash of '29 on the History Channel yesterday. The conditions prevailing at that time and those of today are so similar as to be scary! One interesting tidbit was that as today, most of the bears had been silenced, either by being fired or being severely criticized (unpatriotic!). About the only lone voice warning of imminent danger was Roger Babson. But here is the clincher- the only one who publicly criticized Wall Street and their scams was...... Al Capone!!!! He said that Wall Street was controlled by crooks who were after people's money. And guess what, nobody dared shut him up! Guess it takes one to know one...
