A similar story has been attributed to Joseph Kennedy, grandfather of JFK. Apparently a shoe shiner tried to give him stock tips. That was when he realized it was time to get out of the market.

Here’s part of his bio from wikipedia.org:
“Kennedy got out of the market in 1928, long before the Crash, locking in multi-million dollar profits. Indeed when the 1929 crash did come, he made money due to his short positions.”

I’m not sure if I believe either the elevator or the shoe shine salesman story. Most likely just urban legend.
