Jodie Foster 1
Eric soon realized that, despite his ambitious plans, he had no actual money to fund his new life of luxury and decadence. Frustrated by this obstacle, he tried to think of ways to quickly amass wealth that would not rely on sheer luck or chance.
Eric: "Sarah, I need to make money quickly, and it can't be by gambling through games of chance. Any ideas?"
Sarah: "A quick and less risky way to make money would be to use your knowledge of future events, particularly those related to the stock market, and capitalize on that information by investing and trading stocks."
Eric: "That's an excellent idea, Sarah. I remember some events of the early '90s that would significantly affect the stock market such as the Gulf War and certain high-performing stocks like Apple and Microsoft. Let's start with that."
Sarah: "I can provide you with information on how to get started with trading and investment. It would be wise to carefully choose your investments, focusing on companies and industries that have a promising future based on your knowledge of history."
Before he could start trading stocks, Eric knew he needed a small amount of seed capital. He decided that quickly making his initial money through gambling, but not on games of chance, seemed to be a viable option.
Eric: "Sarah, what are some sports events that I know the outcome of? I can use that information to place bets and generate some initial capital for stock trading."
Sarah: "In 1991, the Chicago Bulls will win their first NBA championship, defeating the Los Angeles Lakers. In American Football, the New York Giants will win the Super Bowl XXV against the Buffalo Bills. Lastly, in boxing, Buster Douglas will have a surprise victory over Mike Tyson in early 1990."
Eric: "Perfect. Let's start with the Buster Douglas fight. That should surprise everyone and make me a good amount of money."
Gathering his limited resources, Eric found a seedy underground establishment that was willing to take his bets. He placed his bets on the shocking victory of Buster Douglas, confident in the knowledge that the outcome was almost certain.
Within a matter of days, Eric's fortune turned around as he won an incredible sum of money from his bet. His success in gambling gave him the necessary capital to begin investing in the stock market.
As he predicted, Apple and Microsoft's stock prices soared in the coming months, and Eric began accumulating a sizeable fortune. With this newfound wealth, he was finally able to pursue his ultimate desire to become a charming, irresistible playboy among Hollywood's elite.
