2. President of the largest gas company?
3. President of the New York stock Exchange?
4. Greatest wheat speculator?
5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?

to die at home.

died abroad, penniless.

5. The president of
the Bank of International Settlement,
shot himself.

6. The Great Bear of Wall Street,

However,
in that same year, 1923, the PGA Champion and the winner of the most important golf tournament, the US Open, was Gene Sarazen.

What became of him?

He played golf until he was 92, died in 1999 at the age of 95.
He was financially secure at the time of his death.

The Moral:
Screw work.
Play golf.
