I think highly enough of Elway to own 2 (replica) jerseys. But the discussion here isn’t apples to apples. What was at stake was a guaranteed 13.8% total return floor on a 5yr investment with potential for further upside based on how the organization plus the professional enterprise (NFL) performed, not whether one can time a volatile (stock) market correctly to buy at the lows and sell at the highs, which is pretty much impossible  (I’ve had my share of shoulda/woulda/couldas). Ok, add the credit risk that Bowlen wasn’t good for his word. While Elway may have had insight we don’t into the organization and thus had his doubts, those are pretty attractive risk/reward profiles most times, for me. My two cents’ worth, if that.
