That's it, in a nutshell.  All of Graham's huge profits are a product
of sqrt(-1).

I've bought a house with only a few thousand in cash.  If you really
had that income, you could have bought a house long ago, got a 10 year
mortgage on it, and be well on your way to financial independence.
Instead, you live in a shed, crap in one corner of it, shower with a
hose a few feet away, and dream of the day you move into a cheap
trailer.  That's both very sad and a bit hilarious.

Well, at least not until you start paying the $30/day you owe them.

Keep dreaming.  If you work very, very hard, you could get a window A/
C unit in your shed, and post videos of yourself flying your toy
helicopter between the A/C unit and the ravine next door where you
hide the bodies.
