Speaking of books... I was in our local used book store and found what I believe to be a real treasure. Its a book called Wall Street and Lombard Street. I dont have it handy so i cant tell you the author. It was published sometime in the thirties and is a narrative about the market from 28 to 32. The author was an economist who was bedridden during the crash and wrote down his observations from reading the papers and from scuttlebutt that he collected. Its amazingly like the period of the last couple of years. I just started it but am spellbound so far. Here is the really cool part. It was once in the federal reserve library! It even has some water stains around the edge which I like to believe came from bubble boy reading it in the tub. I may post a few excerpts when I get a chance. If anyone is familiar with the Professor Ph(f)isher(I believe this is the correct name) he was without doubt the Abby Jo of his time. He was the guy that said stocks had reached a permanently higher level just before the crash. And then found reason for a rebound all the way down. Some things never change.
