The last time I couldn't figure out the strategy behind Bill Lyon's business moves, he was was less than three years from filing bankruptcy and losing nearly everything.

Marc Mandell - the WIZ said the greatest trader that ever lived went broke many times - rags to riches was a constant theme of his life - mavericks don't go from ZERO to HERO playing it safe eh? I remember a guy riding a lawnchair with some attached weather balloons to 10K feet - like history's greatest trader - he also committed suicide. We have drugs to treat some of that now - I wonder what Lyon's prescriptions consist of?
