Actually, it was in 4 1/2 months. But, even so...

The difficulty in that Hitlery's ''trade'' was thoroughly illegal then, and even more so would be nowadays.

Hitlery profited from an old futures practice called 'allocation'. Her broker, with the now-defunct REFCO, was a chap named 'Red' Bone, and never was a dog's leg as crooked as he was. He was in the pocket of the Stephens boys in Arkansas, who funneled their political payoffs to the Clintons and half a dozen other Arkansas political families through REFCO and Tyson.

I had the great displeasure of knowing Bone for a decade or so before he died. Great guy to have a drink with, but you damned well needed to count your fingers after shaking hands with him.

Thanks, that was a very interesting insight to share. I have always wondered why Bill Clinton didn’t just hand the year’s Federal Tax Receipts in his 8 years in the White House to Hillary to invest in commodity futures.

Guess old Bill was in on the dodge.

Come to think of it. If Slick Willie didn’t trust Hillary with the Federal Tax Receipts, why should we?
