  2. Reading through some of the headlines, one says that he made $10-mil from a $10 stake. Back then $10-mil was a shitload of money. (Like turning a $1k stake into $1-bil today.) He must have been seriously ill to have not taken most of that out of the market permanently and semi-retired at some point.

    What a great cautionary tale.

    You're welcome. Unfortunately many of the articles are "pay per view" but there are also many good full articles listed for free as well. Like looking through a portal in time.
     
  6. yes exactly the same here... 3$ for a 80+ years article... Expensive = I boycott... And if everyone boycott, the price will get lower :)

    That's the true supply and demand... ( it's hard to speak of supply in the digital world... hahah again a proof of the exponential economy... ).
