People also invested in Beanie Babies: When Chris Robinson’s father started collecting Beanie Babies, he thought he could use the eventual profits to pay for five college tuitions. Instead, he ended up spending upwards of $100,000 (Robinson’s estimate, based on average cost for each) for a collection of 20,000 stuffed animals that still sit in his garage.

Same for the Saudis, they would not disclose that, neither would the Swiss banker say Saudis are draining the coffers for the past month.

add to that the fact that numbers from China are to be taken with a shovel of salt.
