Ruined by Chance Remark at Flood Estate
A San Francisco Call reminiscence recounts Hank the gardener losing nearly all his earnings after misinterpreting a remark by James C. Flood about a stock named Con Solidated Virginia. Flood later explained the joke, bought Hank's land back, and reimbursed his losses, rewarding the gardener for the tale. The episode highlights a misheard tip leading to financial ruin and a generous corrective gesture from Flood.
