When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

mark it
down to bad luck
he was too poor to buy
a round lot at the IPO
offer



note: 2 shares for under $30 per share then equal 864 shares now without any additional outlay of funds.
A round lot of 100 then would have given this hypothetical guy 43,200 shares now worth $1,512,000.
