Her father, too, was a great sufferer by the bankruptcy, having by his son-in-law's advice placed a considerable portion of his moderate fortune in Alfred's hands for investment, all of which was involved in the general wreck. I am afraid he was a very hard-hearted man: at all events his poor daughter never returned to him. She died, I think, even before the death of Bertram Fletwode.
It must average at least $1,500 now. Well, fellows, that is what you cost; are you worth it? I am talking of actual, not sentimental, values. Father and mother wouldn't take a million dollars for any one of you, I suppose, but that does not mean you are worth it. An investment of $1,500 ordinarily is expected to yield at least six per cent. a year, which is $90.
"I hate to see a herd like that broken up by thieves, and all of your investment wasted," said the Duke, thoughtfully, as if considering it deeply. "It's a sin and a shame!" said Taterleg. "I guess we'll stay and give you a hand," said the Duke.
"Are you afraid your investment in this bank is not a safe one?" Saunders looked steadily at him. "That certainly is not a businesslike question, Mostyn, and you know it."

He went to America, and what with litigation, unfortunate investment, and perhaps extravagance, the fortune he had made was rapidly diminished.
'I wish to ask you a few questions, she said, without raising herself. 'Must my legacy necessarily be paid out of that investment? 'It must. Those are the terms of the will. 'If nothing can be recovered from those people, I have no remedy? 'None whatever that I can see. 'But when a firm is bankrupt they generally pay some portion of their debts? 'Sometimes. I know nothing of the case.
I admit even that men may be included in them, because they have their wives on the farm in winter, and indeed even in their summer pasture camps, a concession which is deemed beneficial because it attaches the shepherds to their flocks, and by begetting children they increase the establishment and with it the profit on your investment."
America requires more than $1 billion a day to maintain its current levels of government spending, consumption, and investment. There is another much hushed aspect of American indebtedness. It provides other trading blocks and countries for example, Japan and the oil producing countries with geopolitical leverage over the United States and its policies.
Investment seemed to be a sort of intuition with him. Often, when the experts' opinions were unanimously in favour of the project, and when everything appeared to be perfectly safe, Longworth would pay a personal visit to the business offered for sale, and come to a sudden conclusion not to have anything to do with it.
