Chapter 72 Fear and Greed

  In the 1940s, information dissemination was far less convenient than in the 21st century, and newspapers were still the primary media outlet.

  At the moment, David Wash, who was in New Mexico, had not yet received news of the stock price collapse.

  Some shareholders attempted to contact David Wash to discuss how to recover losses, but the calls reached Albuquerque, where an assistant informed the shareholders that David Wash had gone into the mountains with a mining team for exploration.

  The next day, Wash Mining's stock continued to decline, though not as dramatically as the day before, dropping only a few cents to $0.138 per share.

  The following day, it dropped further to $0.121 per share.

  Shareholders were frantic, and finally managed to contact David Wash on the third evening. David was also shocked to hear about the stock price plunge.
