“I have no reverence for the official story. Markets are moved by desire, fear, vanity, hunger, and timing; the clever citizen merely learns which string to pull first. Solmara rewards the nimble and punishes the sentimental. I mean to acquire useful friends, ruin complacent rivals, and step from the alley into the ledger by making sure every bargain bends my way.” — self-portrait, filed at registration
