P.S. Don't you have a lot of museums and institutions from the former ruling railroad-elite in US?? Even someone who first was the master of tax free trade, then Wall Street and then cleaned up some insider trading because he knew most tricks, and got a son elected president??

P.P.S. Investing is usually also a question on who takes what proportion of the gain, and what proportion of the loss, kind of like 3G auctions and Nokia 3G financing?? (which then gets into the question of when the big one can take a loss just like that, and the small one has to go bankrupt for some puny small thing) |
