Soliloquy on Speculation.

To act, or not to act, that is the question?

Whether ’tis better for the purse to suffer,

The stocks and shares to fall without a “spec”

Or to proceed against this sea of bubbles

And venture a transaction? To bull, to bull

No more; but by a bear to say we end

The heartache and the thousand natural shocks

The “House” is heir to—’tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wished. To bear—to sell
