"Should we take a shot at ABC's stock right now, just in case Donnie Block wins?"
A trader posed such a question.
Following his question, the surrounding traders immediately looked at him with disdain.
Although Donnie Block was still buying ABC stocks at that time, in everyone's heart, it was a battle doomed to be lost.
Donnie was facing what could be described as a fully developed giant, how could he possibly win.
This was Wall Street in the United States at the time, known as a game for the few, and Morgan, Rockefeller, and Mellon were the cream of that crop.
Whatever they decided never failed!
It wasn't until Franklin Roosevelt took office, promulgated the "Glass-Steagall Act," causing Morgan to split up, and severely hitting Wall Street's financial inner circle, that some improvements were made, and only a few at that!
In the eyes of everyone at that moment, Donnie's resistance was essentially against the entire Wall Street system.
