[@scotsam7590]

So smart. So very smart.

[@niora]

[@dafrostbros9927]

Alchemists will rule the word!

[@adajanetta1]

Commissions from the buyer and the seller. Only the manager makes money.

[@karloliver3937]

[@ruthmeb]

Not what real investment managers do, but hey, it's only comedy.

[@csurname]

[@atomickarma]

[@marvelsomething1952]
