Critics Review
“Why is there so much month left at the end of the money?”—John Barrymore “October. This is one of the peculiarly dangerous months to speculate in stocks. The others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August, and February.” Mark Twain “I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle.
