Stockbroker?
Is any stockbroker here?
No.
Of course, no.
Certainly, no.
Definitely, no.
Undoubtedly, no.
Nor stockbreakers.
And not due to the fact stockbreakers don't exist at all. Because they do exist. You haven't met any so far? You've had bad luck. You must start a big journey. An expedition. You can look for them even here, although it might be simply just a waste of time. However wasting time can be sometimes very useful. And fruitful. And successful. And plentiful of....
Well, there's neither stockbroker nor stockbreaker here because there's no stock exchange....
Well, there could be a stone exchange here. Something like I missed so many times travelling abroad, to the capitol of the beyond-fence state. Fossil and stone exchange. Or a mineral fair. Once a year. Lasting two days. In spring or in autumn? Maybe in spring. Yes. Spring seems more probable. However the date doesn't matter at all, because since I remember there have always been invincible problems and obstacles like double agenda or unexpected travel or just simple absent-mindedness. So, if such an event takes place here, maybe then I'd have a chance not to miss it. What was (or have been) a reason I wanted so much to go there? I wanted to have a fossil. A good, striking, attractive and rare (not really rare, could be even quite common) fossil. Certainly, this desire (because it was or has been a kind of desire) was to be fulfilled in more ambitious and sophisticated way: I wanted to find it. I even tried. I was looking for it however neither intensely nor regularly. From time to time I was visiting an old quarry, that's all. I had no tools. Oh no. Nothing like that. I didn't want to dig. I didn't want to excavate. I wanted to meet the fossilized being, I wanted to encounter the petrified (and stoned as well) creature. But nothing like that happened. So I hoped to meet it at the stone exchange. Or at the mineral fair. I thought it would be easier, much easier. But it turned out to be even harder ..... But it wouldn't be a good encounter. It would be a fake meeting. Not a frank one. Yes. This is how it would be. So, there will be no such an event here. No stone exchange. And no mineral fair. I should begin to look for my fossil among those numerous stones born so abundantly by the local earth. Yes. That would be that: I'm walking along a field border and I spot a stone lying in a furrow - I pick it up and I find out it's a dragon's scale, a leaf fallen millions years ago - - - -
Do I need a stock exchange?
Is there any reason to have here a stock exchange?
Oh, do I need those stories incomprehensible due to their unclear and chaotic logic? the kind of stories about “the need to send to the prosecutor a notification of an attempted crime, because the latest increase of share prices has some features of deliberate and unacceptable manipulation – who dare to buy in the very last moment, a minute before closing, an absolutely huge number of shares causing an unexpected and violent jump (doesn't matter either up or down) of prices thus earning really big money” ..... well, maybe I need them to rise the spirit in a gloomy, cold, rainy afternoon, since it's hard to find a better joke, if the very point of stock exchange is just to manipulate the prices and speculate. It's exactly like in the case of killing: you only need to know whom, when and how many ......
