ABSTRACT
Martin was on a train, reading a copy of the Financial Times. Norman, who was sitting next to him, asked Martin what his job was and Martin replied that he was a stockbroker. Norman then asked Martin for some advice on investment and Martin jokingly replied that publishing seemed to be a good area. As a result of this discussion, Norman invested his life savings in publishing shares. A few months later, the value of these shares fell dramatically and Norman lost all his money. Depressed at being penniless, Norman then committed suicide.
