History channel had a bunch of good shit on yesterday actually.. Right after the side show freak thing, they had an hour-long special on the copmplete history of Wall Street.
the 'witch of wall street' was pretty interesting...curious how she knew to bnuy all the railroad stocks when she did.
From my understanding, thats all she did really, and wound up becomming the wealthiest woman in the US by doing so.
Funny too, is the name, 'Wall Street'..I always assumed it was named after someone named 'Wall'...lol
didn't know it was actually a "walled" street, to keep indians out.. |
