There’s a gym in the back of an industrial park in New Jersey, right next to a Chevy dealership. Guys in there rub horse liniment on their elbows between sets. McTarnahan’s Absorbent Blue Lotion - the stuff they use on racehorses. The fumes clear your sinuses from ten feet away.

Three of the richest men on Earth all decided to put money into silver during the 1990s. Same metal. Same decade. Completely different strategies. And wildly different outcomes.

In 1991, German business magazine named Heinz Schimmelbusch “Manager of the Year.” Two years later, he was fired for nearly destroying one of Germany’s oldest industrial companies. Chapter 15 of Torsten Dennin’s “From Tulips to Bitcoins” tells the story of Metallgesellschaft, and it is one of the most painful corporate implosions in the book.
