“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.” IfsThinkingMenTwoRealReasonEnoughTogetherValuesStarsHoursCasesIssuesShareStupidLuckyTenHotManagementSellsNonsenseSensibleOfferingFabulousReal ValueLucky Star Author:Malcolm Forbes

“'All in the Family' took ten weeks to take off in 1971, and we were lucky to start in January, because if it had started in the regular fall season of 1970, I don't know if we would have lasted.
