Here's the question. I'll say which side I am on later!

>inventory
You have:
100 shares of ABC stock

>look
A stock exchange
You are inside a stock exchange. People flitter here and there, doing this and that. On a giant screen, you see a display of recently traded market prices for various securities.

In front of you stands a middle-aged man in an evening suit, top hat, tails, and monocle.

>look at screen
(the giant screen)
The screen blinks as the prices are updated in real time. You see ABC stock trading at $20.00/$20.01.

>think
You remember purchasing ABC stock at $100. Those were the heady days of the internet/covenant-lite loan/Y2K/BRIC bubble. A pang of regret gnaws at you.

>ask man about ABC
(the besuited gentleman)

"Sir! As a special offer, I am willing to buy your hundred shares of ABC stock at $40.00 per share, for a total of $4,000! If you wish to take advantage of this offer, please tell me! Thank you good sir!"
