Sounds like a good one, thanks for the tip.

Yes, very prominent in the both the New York ("Our
Crowd") and Hamburg Jewish communities. In fact,
according to Chernow the Warburgs were acutely
aware that involvement in the Fed could fuel
conspiracies of the international-Jewish-banker
type. I recall that C. cites examples of negative
remarks on the subject expressed in the U.S. press
at the time.
Ira's comment is absolutely correct. Of course
the issue of whether the Warburgs are Jewish is
irrelevant! But when reference is made to
Grandaddy Warburg, the Fed, and his family's dream
plans of control, I feel obliged to point out that
the issue mattered very much in that era.

. . . then it's back to learning about trading,
with sights fixed on resorts for the very
wealthy. :-)
