>>who was it that sold all of his stocks before the '29 crash because he noticed his cab driver talking about his stocks? <<

I've heard that story attributed to both Bernard Barouch (sp?) and Joe Kennedy Sr. And I think it was his shoe shine boy telling him to buy US Steel that triggered his selling.
