Dragon bore Snake's lecture with a patient smile.<br/><br/>"To the first point, cousin, I do not engage in such plans for the sake of simply filling the time.  The silliness that is visible, such as with The Apprentice, is merely a smokescreen to lure others into a false sense that I am incompetent.  It seems to have worked beautifully on you.<br/><br/>"To the second, you clearly don't understand the mortals' stock market system.  They talk big about each share being a piece of the company, and aggregate supply and demand dictating the prices.  But in reality they are merely shuffling paper, and since the rise of computers there is not even the paper to shuffle, merely electrons.  And the shifting prices, I suppose are a factor of supply and demand, but not of the masses.  The vast majority of transactions are done by a handful of large hedge funds; they direct prices and volatility.  And I have naturally accounted for their behavior and psychology in my course of action.  There will be no crash or boom, simply a rearrangement of resources.  If your own investments are harmed, I can offer little solace other than the advice to invest more wisely.<br/><br/>"To the third, the Camorra have only the claws they have bargained for, and the claws given by Lord Entropy.  I am doing nothing in violation of Lord Entropy's laws, so I have nothing to fear from him.  And without money to feed it, the 'predator' starves and its claws become dull and impotent."<br/><br/>He ends with a smile.  "Naturally they are a part of my Estate; everything is.  Which is all the more reason why I should be in control rather than them."
