If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question

Well, since I still get to run sound on a part time basis I would just buy a new rig & load it up with gear & go tour with somebody. I look at running sound like having a giant stereo to play with but I do take it seriously enough to do the best I can.

Since I'm so rich I'll buy a brand new Western Star & a custom made Kentucky trailer then spend 1 mil on gear for touring. That should hold me for a while.

I would buy May 04 unlead gas calls. 1 contract runs about $1300 and you control 44000 gallons of unleaded gas. With $1,000,000 you could control about 770 contacts. So what can you make.

Unleaded gas always goes up in price in the summer so a 2 cent tick up in the price should yield 44000gals x 770 contracts x .02 tick up in price = $677600

A 5 cent (.05) tick up would net $2,778,160

So what do you do with your 2.75 million. Buy Aug/Sept heating oil calls. Heating oil prices peak in the summer not in the winter, unless there is some near term distoration involved.

If you can say Straddle, Butterfly or Stranghold you can make money. Forget about hawkin your used equipment on A/Gon for pennies on a dollar.

I'd throw a HUGE toga party and have the Bare Naked Ladies play at it, cuz they're musically talented and pretty damned funny guys. Opening band? George Thoroughgood, can't beat good old George for party music! The invite list would be all my friends on AudioGon and the Hawaiian Tropic girls. The Tropic girls would not be in togas for obvious reasons.

At the end of the party everyone would get a fully tricked out Bose system and a sledgehammer, we'd all have a wonderful time "modifying" the fine gear Bose markets. Hmmmm, wonder if there would be enough Tropic girls to go around so everyone left with a momento on their arm?

Oh yeah, I'd buy every vinyl record on earth and wonder where the hell the $1 million went to?

Jeff, I'm sure the "momento" can be cured at any walk in medical clinic in your area.. Should the need arise.

I'd get the best seats to every concert I'm intereseted anywhere in the world.
