Quote from Visaria:
on what basis?
"Listen. A man was talking to Jim Fisk a little before
Black Friday, giving ten good reasons why OIL ought to go down
for keeps. He got so encouraged by his own words that he ended
by telling Fisk that he was going to sell a few million. And Jim
Fisk just looked at him and said, "Go ahead! Do! Sell it short
and invite me to your funeral."'
