The Business deal



A Chinese guy goes to a Jew to buy black bras, size 38.

The Jew, known for his skills as a businessman, says that black bras are rare and that he is finding it very difficult to buy them from his suppliers. Therefore he has to charge $50.00 for them. The Chinese guy buys 25 bras.

He returns a few days later and this time orders fifty. The Jew tells him that they have become even harder to get and charges him $60.00 each.

The Chinese guy returns a month later and buys the Jew’s remaining stock of 50, and this time for $75.00 each.

The Jew is somewhat puzzled by the large demand for black size 38 bras and asks the Chinese guy, "...please tell me - What do you do with all these black bras?"

The Chinese guy answers: "I cut them in half and sell them as skull caps to you Jews for $200.00 each."

<with gold at these lofty heights, an increase in margin requirements is probably a given.>

My broker told me today that the margin requirement for GLD is 50%. I have no idea whether that's an increase or not. GLD isn't actually gold, so it's just a bit of info which might be of use.
