What We Learned from This Morning’s Newspaper

13.

So now it’s Tuesday night November 30 and I’m home with the Post and the closing stock prices. Unfortunately I can’t compare them with the figures in my copy of tomorrow’s Times because I don’t have the paper any more it turned completely to dust and so did everybody else’s but I still have the notes I took the first night when I was planning my market action. And I’m happy to say everything worked out perfectly despite the effects of entropic creep. The Dow Industrials closed at 831.34 today which is just what my record says. And look at this list of highs for the day where my broker sold me out on the nose:

So whatever this week has cost me in nervous aggravation it’s more than made up in profits.

Tomorrow is December 1 finally and it’s going to be funny to see that newspaper again. With the headlines about Nixon going off to China and the people wounded in the bank robbery and the currency negotiations in Rome. Like an old friend coming home.
