Boy ex airman starts Wall Street push as youngest independent broker
A 26 year old ex air force sergeant Robert M Tanney opened his own stock market office claiming to be the nation's youngest independent broker. He aims to recruit 40 salesmen for door to door sales and will target working and middle class investors with high yield securities. Tanney plans to buy large blocks of low priced stocks in sound operating companies and believes education will grow market participation. He recalls buying railroad shares in grammar school and selling them when they rose to $50 a share.
