Thoughts on Giving Thanks: A Trader's Perspective

Most people don't seek happiness, they seek some form of power whether it is in the form of great wealth or great achievement.

Contrast Scroodge McDuck with his poor nephew, Donald Duck.

Donald, who was born on Friday 13, is often in hot water, if you'll pardon the Thanksgiving metaphor but the adventures surrounding getting out of hot water seem to bring him happiness:

Narrator: The worst was yet to come. Friendless, jobless and foodless, Donald was down and out. He'd lost his fine feathered nest and was forced to move into a cheap rental. Now the superstar would have to get a real job like the rest of us.
[Donald, thanks to his temper, just can't hold a job]
Donald Duck: What am I gonna do?
Narrator: That's the question everyone's been asking since this special began. As long as Donald's temper was out of control, he would pay the price. Now the only job he would be eligible for would be as a hunting decoy. And even Donald is not that stupid.


Scrooge McDuck: Since I'm the richest duck in the world, I am going to celebrate by taking everyone out the world's biggest hamburger stand!
Webby: Can we order fries?
Scrooge McDuck: You can even order hamburgers!

Happy Thanksgiving!
