Except gold doesn\u2019t grow on trees. Clear so far?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYea\u201d Barack Hussein replied.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGood, now lets say that some of our clients are speculating that the price of gold will rise in the future.\u201d Randolph said. \u201cWe have other clients who are speculating that the price of gold is going to fall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey&#8217;ve placed their orders with us and we buy or sell their gold for them.\u201d Randolph stated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTell him the good part.\u201d Mortimer said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe good part is that no matter whether our clients make money, or lose money, Duke &amp; Duke get the commissions.\u201d Randolph said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWell, what do you think, Obama?\u201d Mortimer said<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSounds to me like you guys are a couple of bookies!\u201d Barrack Hussein said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI told you he&#8217;d understand.\u201d Randolph said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDo either of you know Tim Geithner?\u201d Barack Hussein asked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWho?\u201d Mortimer asked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNever mind\u201d Barack Hussein said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNow lets do a real world example here.\u201d Randolph said. \u201cRight now the pork belly contracts are trading\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt&#8217;s hit rock bottom. Come on, let&#8217;s buy.\u201d Mortimer said and picked up the phone. \u201cBuy 200 May belly contracts at 66.8.

The people with pork belly contracts are thinking, \u2018Hey, we&#8217;re losing all our money and Christmas is coming. I won&#8217;t be able to buy my son the GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip. And my wife will leave me because I have no money.\u2019 They&#8217;re panicking, screaming, \u2018SELL, SELL.\u2019 They don&#8217;t want to lose all their money. They are panicking right now.
