The snow has fallen early this year 
as i sit slightly disgraced
bragging in the bar
i was a stock market operator
to Paul, who is in his seventies and a mining engineer.
I am an idiot gambler
who…barely knows…
I have invested in a diamond mine in the Yukon…
i mean Artic
based on a tout sheet
the brother of a notorious Howe street speculator
and the interest of a major.
Commentary
“The instant gratification thing”
is getting faster
hence peoples propensity to gamble…
…
the junior resource sector should out perform the general market…
money has to go someplace and they keep printing more…
so i speculate
to increase my wealth
while creating nothing personally
and maybe the company has a successful diamond mine…
thank goodness.
Footnote: in post modern parlance that is known as an “excess economy”
