   Guilty as charged, although not by design. I had acquired a second, smaller farm before the bubble began to rise and was going to work it as a straight grain operation, but decided my truck farm was more than enough for my needs, so I sold it at the height of the bubble. I could buy it back now for a small fraction of what was paid for it at the going rates of the time. As PT Barnum may have said; “I made a killin’”, although my timing was entirely accidental and I cannot claim financial genius. Pure, dumb luck.

   If I recall correctly, PT went bankrupt 3 times and was able to climb out of his financial holes and pay back all his creditors all three times. He may not have known how to hold on to his money, but he knew how to grow it.
