Here are a couple of anecdotes:- During the hectic days following the crash of 1929, many discussions of the whys and wherefores were overheard along Wall Sreet. One of the more honest and direct explanations of his plight was the following. "I hear you lost quite a lot of money in the crash. Were you a bull or a bear?" "Neither, just a plain simple jackass." _________________________________________________ A stock broker, suffering a slight nervous breakdown from the constant pressure of fluctuating business, was taken to a hospital to rest. While more or less in a daze he overheard his nurse say, as she handed that patient's chart to the doctor, "Temperature today, 102." Weakly the broker raised his head and said, "When it reaches 102 1/2, sell," then wearily fell back against the pillow.
