Black Tuesday Oct 29. Clerks sleeping in the broker's office, after a heavy day trying to catch up with the trades...
"This is how I worked it out. I asked my brokers to send out their telegrams after Wall Street closing time, so they would reach me at 6 P.M. This is about the time I get up – the result of performing in nightclubs for many years. Meanwhile, during the day, the telephone operator is instructed not to let any calls through. In this way everything happens in Wall Street while I am in bed. I am sleeping while they are working, and they cannot reach me nor worry me. My delegate, the stop-loss order, represents me in case something unforeseen happens. – Nicolas Darvas"
I'd get my money back for that lettering. Bet the painter was loaded, and the stern was *not* at eye level.......
