The boy plunger.....my favorite trader too....but agree with Prabh, bad ending...
Read that book countless number of times...

Although untouchable trusts and cash assets at his death totalled over $5 million

boy, $5 million 70 years back was quite a lot. if one calls that bankrupt i would love to go backrupt.

A lifelong history of clinical depression had become the dominant factor in his final years

death is not a punishment. living in pain is.

and ya it is the best book i have come accross. one really do not need to read any other stuff (including the one written by jesse himself) unless one is planning to sell detergent or whatever. just my 2 cents.
