“He was intensely frugal,” the son said.
With the licensing campaign in full swing, Hosier and Lemelson decided not to go after the smaller companies that produced the equipment, such as Cognex or Symbol Technologies, of Holtsville, N.Y., which made the bar code scanner.

3. Would you be interested a trading strategy that is practically 100% profitable? Most traders will probably reply with a resounding, “Yes!” Amazingly, such a strategy does exist and dates all the way back to the 18th century. This strategy is based on probability theory and if your pockets are deep enough, it has a near 100% success rate.
Known in the trading world as the martingale, this strategy was most commonly practiced in the gambling halls of Las Vegas casinos and is the main reason why casinos now have betting minimums and maximums, and why the roulette wheel has two green markers (0 and 00), in addition to the odd or even bets. The problem with this strategy is that in order to achieve 100% profitability, you need to have very deep pockets; in some cases, they must be infinitely deep.
