Hetty Green: Wall Street’s Long-Forgotten Queen
****************************************
"People who are honest nowadays are accused of being mad."
HETTY GREEN
****************************************
Her enemies referred to her as the witch of Wall Street, which was a moniker that could not be further from the truth. The reality was she was among the most talented investors in US history (if not the most talented). She was also modest, honest, and charitable, which was so foreign to stock operators in the lawless markets of the Gilded Age that it was mistaken for witchcraft. For those who missed the webinar, please feel free to join in. In the second half, Michelle Seitz explains how she resurrected many of Hetty Green’s virtues to drive her rapid ascent in the investment profession.
Did you know that Henrietta (Hetty) Green (1834-1916) was among the most successful investors in U.S. financial history? Hetty navigated the volatile markets and fickle monetary currents of the Gilded Age, profiting during both the peaks and troughs, while most of her male contemporaries amassed and subsequently lost their fortunes. Some called her the richest woman in America; others deemed her the Witch of Wall Street. ?Explore her extraordinary life with Mark Higgins, CFA, CFP?, Index Fund Advisors, Inc. and Michelle Seitz, MeydenVest Partners.
