Would it be profitable and ethical for me not to use my other two wishes, instead selling your lamp on the open market, and rolling over the profits into a set of high-yield speculative investments?
Are we talking derivatives, commodities, ponzi schemes, or overseas mutual funds now?
Do you have any recommendations? What sectors of the market do you think will rebound fastest?
What did you have in mind? And don't you think I should get a piece of the action for my lamp? What will be my cut of all this?
Have you heard of an investment called Enron? Have you heard how cheap shares are these days? How would you like to have the Vice President's ear on energy issues?
Don't you think it would be better if I gave him one of mine?
