3. IDIOM

Bill has finished a brokerage course at a bank and decided to make his first investment as an independent broker. He was assisted by a friend who has worked in the other bank for ten years and was said to be an experienced broker. One day he called Bill and said that his boss, a senior broker who was considered almost a god in NYSE, invited them to invest in shale gas development. At that time there was a boom in the industry. The senior broker hinted that he had been advised to do that by his friends from Federal Reserve Bank. «We’ll get on to the gravy train», he promised. It was the kind of proposal, which Bill could not turn down. He shared this information with his wife Julie, who reminded him that money didn’t grow on trees. A month later, Bill’s investment paid off, and even the chairman praised him. The friends were on cloud nine. But another month passed, gas prices suddenly fell and the development of shale gas was halted across the country. Bill, his friend and the senior manager of the bank lost all they had earned and invested in this operation. Only the chairman, who had real friends in FRB and never told anyone about them, had made a stake on copper and put all his money in it just a few days before the gas prices dropped. So now he was rubbing his hands and kept muttering under his breath: money goes to money.

· MONEY GOES TO MONEY / деньги к деньгам (идут), деньги любят деньги

Good luck, guys! See ya!»
