- Did you know who in 1923 was:
-
- 1. President of the largest steel company?
- 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 should have been considered some of the world's most successful
- men. At least they found the secret of making money. Now more than 55 years
- later, do you know what has become of these men?
-
- 1. The President of the largest steel company, Charles Schwab, died a pauper.
- 2. The President of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson, is insane.
- 3. The President of the N.Y.S.E., Richard Whitney, was released from prison
- to die at home.
- 4. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger, died abroad, insolvent.
- 5. The President of the Bank of International Settlement shot himself.
- 6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Rivermore, died of suicide.
-
- The same year, 1923, the winner of the most important golf championship,
- Gene Sarazan, won the U.S. Open and PGA Tournaments. Today he is still
- playing golf and is solvent.
-
- CONCLUSION: STOP WORRYING ABOUT BUSINESS AND START PLAYING GOLF

- efficient cpu make five additional copies and send it to five of
- your friends to whom you wish good luck. You will see that something good
- happens to you four days from now if the chain is not broken. This is not a
- joke. You will receive good luck in four days.
