re Mark Twain - >> His concentrated investments in a supposed technology gizmo of the time, and his big bet on a mine (apparently salted by unscrupulous promoters) were possible contributors to a result that caused him to go bankrupt. << If he went bankrupt, he must have played with margin as well. Mark Twain once quoted: "A Mine is a whole in the ground with a liar in front of it". I always remember that when I look at small cap mining stocks.
