COVD....

well there is one story to be told,

In a hospital, there were only crummy orange fruits available, costing about 2 shillings apiece (for the hospital)
An old hebrew who was in a hospital looked at the oranges and said....the money is lying on the street, you only have to pick it up...

he spoke and then he called the director of the hospital: Sir you have sour, crummy oranges,.... how much do you pay for them....- 2 shillings - do you want excellent sweet oranges? Yes, but what about the price?
You have it for about 1.50 shillings; as much as you want.


The hebrew made some telephone calls and organised that from now oranges are being delivered to the hospital.

And, he concludes - I make millions with that deal, a I pay only a half shilling for the piece in purchase. You see...

...money is lying on the street, you only have to pick it up.

Not very different to our chop stock markets.
