...first years, that was about the size of it. As the losses piled up, Fleischmann poured his entire fortune into the venture, at one point gave up virtually all hope of success. Finally, in 1928, The New Yorker turned the corner, and Fleischmann's 55,309 shares of stock are today worth an estimated...
...March, Northwest revised its January proposal and offered a complex package of debentures, preferred stock and warrants, then worth about $75, for a share of Goodrich ($50). Keener, who dismissed what he called a "funny money" offer, had assembled a potent band of allies. For legal advice, he had White & Case, the Manhattan firm that masterminded American Broadcasting's successful defense against Howard Hughes last year.

The Searchers (1956) is the great epic...
...Getter No. 1 was Michel, a cabinetmaker from the Rhone Valley, who fled France after Waterloo to settle in Philadelphia and accumulate a tidy fortune in real estate. Getter No. 2 was one of his sons, Michel Charles. With his brother John, he bought seats on the New York Stock Exchange right after its reorganization in 1869 and proceeded to make the most of those free and easy times when rigging the market was one of the everyday facts of life. Quite appropriately, Wall Streeters referred to the amateur investors as "lambs." The $2,490,000 that Michel Charles left...
