WELCOME to MONDAY SEPTEMBER 2024
In 1923, Who Was…
- President of the largest steel company?
- President of the largest gas company?
- President of the New York Stock Exchange?
- Greatest wheat speculator?
- President of the Bank of International Settlement?
- Great Bear of Wall Street?
These men were considered some of the worlds most successful of their days.
Now, 82 years later, history tells us what ultimately became of them.
The Answers:
- The president of the largest steel company. Charles Schwab, died a pauper.
- The president of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson, went insane.
- The president of the NYSE, Richard Whitney, was released from prison to die at home
- The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger, died abroad, penniless.
- The president of the Bank of International Settlement, shot himself.
6 The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Livermore, 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.
So, what became of him?
He played golf until he was 92, and died in 1999 at the ripe old age of 95! He was
very financially secure at the time of his death.
The moral here:
Forget work.
Play golf! 😎
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a GREAT MONDAY!, people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

“You can now buy a coffin that has a $30,000 stereo system. That’s right. You can
be buried in a coffin with a stereo system that costs $30,000. Or you can just
bury the $30,000. It’s the same thing.” -Dave Letterman
“An 80-year-old weightlifter has been banned from the sport for two years after

a weightlifting competition.” -Jimmy Fallon

My dear friend, a divorcee, never remarried, and her daughter wanted to know why.
“The men I know would bring too much heavy baggage to the marriage and
I simply don’t want to put up with it,” she explained. Taking her mother’s hand in hers,
my friend’s daughter said sweetly, “I hate to break the news to you, Mom,
but you’re not exactly carry-on yourself.” 😳
