I feel guilty every three weeks. Every three weeks, we have our free Shabbat, and I go over to my aunt�s and uncle�s house. They are extremely nice and generous people, and I always feel as though I�m taking advantage of them. I feel like I�m taking advantage of them, and they don�t have a lot of money...
Or so I thought.
Well, they don�t yet, let me explain.
See, my aunt, it should be explained, is very gifted in the field of journalism. I�m not insinuating that she is not good in other fields, but after quitting/fired from the Jerusalem Post, due to a contract dispute, she and some former coworkers set up a fairly successful advertising agency, Media Plus. Last time I was here, Melanie was working for Carvel�s and she had this huge promotion for them. They did phenomenal business. Then they thought they really don�t need her anymore. Carvel�s has since virtually left the Holy Land.
So, she�s pretty good at it. She has created advertising sections for the papers, and has put a few companies on the map. Best of all, she not the one responsible for these idiotic radio jingles that clog the airwaves here. Anyway�s one of her recent clients was this Israeli oil company. Very new and disoriented, she saw that they weren�t well run. For NIS 500, she bought a good part of the company.
Now, so far, the stock has only tripled. But that was enough to catch the Wall Street Journal�s attention.
Cool.
And if this company ever finds oil, my little Israeli Ivan Boesky will be pretty well off.
Very cool.
Get me outa here!!!
