“They’re valuable, but it’s like playing the lottery. I’ve been playing since 2001 and haven’t made any money. Gordon, you’d better forget about making money in the game while you can!”

Gordon pretended to cough. “Let’s discuss that later, I have something to attend to. I’ll hang up now!” With that, he promptly ended the call.
