29 September 1998 - LTC: weary of wealth

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Millionaires, are you weary of your wealth? Is all the joy in the tussle for treasure, and none of it in the $800,000 house? Not to worry, there’s still fun to be had. It’s rumored that some of the filthy rich guys at Long-Term Capital went bankrupt because they borrowed to add to their holdings in the company. Risk all on your skill and daring—Admiral Nelson would have been proud!

Non-millionaires, let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They are crazier.

clue:

“Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald

give me a clue so sweet and true
