When I received the Nobel Prize, the only big lump sum of money I have
ever seen, I had to do something with it. The easiest way to drop
this hot potato was to invest it, to buy shares. I knew that World
War II was coming and I was afraid that if I had shares which rise in
case of war, I would wish for war. So I asked my agent to buy shares
which go down in the event of war. This he did. I lost my money and
saved my soul.
