Are you stressed out?  Read on!

Do 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. The greatest wheat speculator?
   5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?
   6. The great Bear of Wall Street?

These men should be considered some of the world's most successful men,
as least they found the secret of making money.  Now more than 65 years
later, do you know what became of these men?

   1. The president of the largest steel company, Schwab, died a pauper.
   2. The president of the largest gas company, Howard Hopson, is
      insane.
   3. The president of the New York Stock Exchange, Richard Whitney, was
      released from prison to die at home.
   4. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooper, died abroad,
      insolvent.
   5. The president of the Bank of International Settlement shot
      himself.
   6. The great Bear of Wall Street, Mr. C. Riverhore, committed
      suicide.

That same year, 1923, the winner of the most important golf
championship, Gene Sarasen, won the U.S. Open and PGA Tournament.  Today
he is still playing and he's solvent.
