If I Owned Any Of These Hot New Issues That Have Doubled, Tripled, Quintupled Or Umptupled Within Days And In Some Cases Hours After They Were Issued, I Most Certainly Would Grab My Fabulous Windfall, Thank My Lucky Stars And Invest The Money. It's Utter Nonsense To Think Any Newly Issued Stock Is Really Worth Two, Ten Or 20 Times The [offering] Price.... A Management So Stupid As To Sell Shares [cheap], And An Underwriter So Obtuse As Not To Discern The Real Value, Together Would Provide Reason Enough For A Sensible Man To Get Rid Of His Shares.

Some Of The Biggest Bores I've Ever Known Are Men Who Have Been Highly Successful In Business, Particularly Self-made Heads Of Big Companies. Before The First Olive Has Settled Into The First Martini, They Pour The Stories Of Their Lives Into The Nearest And Sometimes The Remotest Ears Capturable.... These Men Have Indeed Paid The Price Of Success. To Rise To The Top Of A Big Company Often Takes A Totality Of Effort, Concentration And Dedication. Others, Too, Have To Pay Part Of The Price. Wife And Children Are Out Of Mind Even When In Sight.
