Krátky popis
How a Stock Exchange Scare Dislocated the Life of the Empire For
Two Days, a story in the "Doom of London" series in which the
author sounds the clarion call of potential disasters that my
befall the great city. Here, it is the tale of an investment
"bubble", an irrational exuberance for buying shares of South
African gold mining stocks. Excerpts:"From the highest to the
lowest everybody was investing their savings in South Africa. ...
In other words, there was a tremendous 'boom.' Nothing like it had
ever been seen in the history of commerce. It was the golden hour
of the promoter. Yet, for the most part, the schemes promised well.
There was, however, an enormous amount of rubbish on the market.
Some of the more thoughtful financiers scented danger ahead, but
they were not listened to."All England was in the grip of the
mania. Bona fide speculation and business had become gambling pure
and simple. London thought of nothing else. The City was crammed
with excited buyers and operators...."Then a cable telegram arrives
from South Africa at one London newspaper office, saying that a
tremendous earthquake has destroyed the Johannesburg water system
and flooded the gold mines. The undersea cables from South Africa
then broke down after the message was received, so no further
messages could be sent or received to confirm or to learn more. The
newspaper publishes the exclusive news. Investors panic and sell
their shares at any price before they are ruined by plunging
values. But is it true, or a fraud? -- a market manipulation?
