In 1923,

WhoWas:

2. President of the largest gas company?

3. President of the New York Stock Exchange?

4. Greatest wheat speculator?

5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?

6. Great Bear of Wall Street?

These men

were considered

some of the worlds most successful

of their days.

Now,

if we know

what ultimately became of them.







The Answers:

1. The president of the largest steel company.

Charles Schwab,

died a pauper.

2. The president of the largest gas

company,

Edward Hopson,

went insane.

3. The president of the NYSE,

Richard Whitney,

was released from prison

to die at home.

4. The greatest wheat speculator,

Arthur Cooger,

died abroad, penniless.

5. The president

of

the Bank of International Settlement,

shot himself.

6. The Great Bear of Wall Street,

also committed suicide.

However:

in that same year,

1923,

the PGA Champion

and

the winner of

the

most important golf tournament,

the US Open,

was

Gene Sarazen.

What became of him?



He played golf until he was 92,

died in 1999 at the age of 95.

He was financially secure

at the time of his death.

The Moral:

Screw work.

Play golf.
