Oldest stockbroker: Irving Kahn will turn 106 tomorrow and is still trading in the stock market .


When he started trading in 1928, Irving Kahn read stock transactions on ticker tape. Now, on the eve of his 106th birthday, he reads them on a computer screen.

Mr Kahn, who is the oldest living investment banker and began trading a year before the Great Depression, is a far cry from a figurehead at his Madison Avenue Firm.

Not only does he read The Economist and The Financial Times daily - he reviews every transaction of the Kahn Brothers Group, Inc. click here for more.
