Download or read book Wall Street in History Classic Reprint written by Mrs. Martha J. Lamb and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wall Street in History The papers which form this volume were written by request for the May, June and July numbers of the Magazine of American History of the current year. The purpose in their production was to give the busy reading public a concise, authoritative, and informing account of the rise and development of Wall Street. No similar sketch having ever appeared in print - touching in historic continuity the salient features of the famous locality, from its first brush-fence to its present gold vaults - the whole field of inquiry must necessarily be explored for the material, which was finally gathered from an almost infinite variety of fragmentary and original sources. The wealth thus exhumed, in the way of fact and incident, would have filled many volumes. But for the general convenience, and in order to meet the popular demand for much in a small compass, the labor of condensation has been cheerfully performed, that the many-sided subject, in all its primitive, picturesque, political, social, and monetary aspects, may be presented in one brief, comprehensive and rapid survey. The first chapter Covers the century of settlement and savage warfare - inclusive of the period when New York for nearly fifty years was actually a walled city. The second chapter is devoted to the vicissitudes of Wall Street in the exciting times of the Revolution, and to its history as the seat of fashion, aristocracy, and the State Government, and also as the seat of the National Government for six eventful years, with President Washington a familiar figure, in his chariot drawn by six horses. The third chapter treats of the financial institutions which have made the street famous throughout the civilized world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Eight Years in Wall Street The following pages are intended to throw some light on imperfectly known events connected with Wall Street speculation and investments, and also with the condition and progress of the country from a financial standpoint, during the twenty-eight years which I have experienced in the great money centre.

Download or read book Fortuna written by James Blanchard Clews and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fortuna: A Story of Wall Street The growing importance of women in the business world has also led me to introduce that topic in my story, and I have no doubt that the majority of the female sex would be quite as capable of managing their business affairs as Miss Montague (the heroine of this book) did hers, if they would only go about it in the same manner. That Canada will, at some future time, be annexed to the United States, seems quite certain. Already the political battles in the Dominion are beginning to be fought on the lines of annexation. Believing that it would be for the good of both countries to have them under one head, my charac ters have been led to discuss the subject in a roundabout way, which I trust the reader will not find the least inter esting of the various themes presented. In writing a run ning story I am aware that subjects like this and the N ica ragua Canal are not ordinarily introduced, owing to a feel ing perhaps that they do not interest all classes of readers alike. In order to meet that objection, I have written the chapters relating to them in as light a vein as possible, and I am inclined to think that they will prove not only inter esting, but instructive as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Wall Street Investing Lthough the popular impression is probably the reverse, it is certainly a fact that a greater sum of money is annually lost in this country through unwise investment in Wall Street, than through pure speculation. While fortunes are daily jeopardized and dissi pated through speculation in stocks, bonds, grain-futures and like ventures, yet the many sums, large and small, which annually leave the pockets of actual investors are far greater in amount. Indeed, I would almost say that the losses incurred through unwise Wall Street investing are easily tenfold the losses occasioned through mere speculation on the exchanges.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Day's Work in Wall Street Probably few persons outside the stock broker's office fully understand the minutiae of the game of fortune-making in the stock market. Everything is so technical: the abbreviations on the ticker, the par lance of the street and the sign language used by the Curb gentry. To the initiated, even the multi-colored caps worn by the Curb boys mean something in the conduct of this business. Nor is it surprising that such technical means and curt methods. Are employed when one considers that daily within the space of five hours transactions involving many millions of dollars are consummated. Mistakes in this business are always costly. In it there is no room for those who are incapable. Only red-blooded, keen-eyed, clear-headed, quick-thinking men can be used in Wall Street. Others sooner or later fall by the wayside.

Download or read book Main Street and Wall Street Classic Reprint written by William Z. Ripley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Main Street and Wall Street This book is not just a treatise on economics; nor is it a handy manual for investors. It purports to go deeper than that, down toward the root of things. It is partly the expression of a lifelong aspiration to promote a greater equality of opportunity among men - a more even chance at getting a living all round, and a fairer show at conserving the fruits of such activity thereafter. Only thus can there be any real pleasure in work and in thrift in the world. And it is upon the reasonable exer cise of these virtues that our American democratic polity must depend for its perpetuation. It should be a prime function of government to stimulate and in every way to protect the manifestation of these basic instincts. Property should never be allowed to degenerate into an instrument of oppression. Its only justification in a free state is that it shall contribute to such an equality of opportunity for all members of the community alike, that each one shall be more able to take care of and to make the best of himself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Masters of Capital: A Chronicle of Wall Street Naturally, this modern practice of preempting or capitalizing probabilities was overdone. Such a process inevitably invited speculation; and boom periods, with recurring lapses and setbacks, became characteristic of the times. Eventually, the capi talists learned that this new capital, which repre sented not only accumulated wealth and current earnings but the future possible earning power of the community generally, must be bolstered up and insured by some artificial process.
