"back when people were getting stock quotes from the newspaper the next day."

My big city newspaper had stocks in the edition that came out around 5 PM. In college, the small town paper published quotes the next morning. If you really wanted to know what was going on you sat in the broker's office and watched the ticker, and read the teletype machine. Or you phoned your broker. (they must have hated those calls).

I cut my teeth sitting in a brokers office between elderly millionaires who'd sometimes start conversations with, "Back in '29..." There was no BS. One 90-year old passed around his monthly statement, three pages long, showing $3 million in stocks. Like $20 million today. Polaroid, Xerox, IBM, etc. Mostly Nifty Fifty stuff. No pennies. LOLOL!

Utterly unlike IHUB!
