Don Sowa's MoneyTalkIn the late 19th century, the industrial elite had a heavy hand in American politics, and this corrupt relationship created opportunity for the few at the top to amass vast sums of wealth, if they played their cards right. On this edition of our MoneyTalk Moment in Financial History, Nathan and Daniel tell the story of Black Friday 1869, when railroad magnate, Jay Gould, attempted to manipulate President Ulysses S Grant to corner the gold market.
Hosts: Nathan Beauvais CFP®, CIMA® & Steven Beauvais; Guest: Daniel Sowa; Air Date: 3/12/2025. Have a question for the hosts? Visit sowafinancial.com/moneytalk to join the conversation!
