As The Money Burns

Hottest On Record


Listen Later

As the heat wave continues to soar, so does the stock market. A new peak brings hope for an even better tomorrow and clouds judgement for the dangers ahead.

The heat of Labor Day weekend causes many to flee the city only to cause traffic jams upon return. But it’s the heat on Wall Street that really has everyone excited. The ever ambitious Nanaline Duke invests heavily with stockbroker Bill Wright. To celebrate the summer’s profits, Bill whisks his wife & opera singer Cobina Wright off to Paris.

Other people and subjects include: September 1929 heatwave, stock market record peak, investing craze, zeppelins, early television set, early economic depression warnings, Ivar Krueger, Charles Ponzi, investment scams, lottery dreams, Savings and Loans real estate scam, and Arthur Andersen fraud, American Greed, and family business scam.
