"The game of Corner—for in its heyday it was a game, a high-stakes gambling game, pure and simple,
embodying a good many of the characteristics of poker—was one phase of the endless Wall Street

2/ "The situation would be set up when a group of bears would go on a well-organized spree of short selling, and would often help their cause along by spreading rumors that the company back of the stock in question was on its last legs. This operation was called a bear raid."
3/ "The bulls’ most formidable—but, of course, riskiest—counter-move was to try for a corner. Only a stock that many traders were selling short could be cornered; a stock that was
in the throes of a real bear raid was ideal."

4/ In 1991 Warren Buffett told Bill Gates his favorite business book was: "Business Adventures" by John Brooks.
Gates: "More than two decades after Warren lent it to me — and more than four decades after it was first published — it remains the best business book I've ever read."
