- I can buy forest land for less than 20$ / tree. If I go to Eastern Europe, I buy land with 10 year old oak for half that (if you buy large enough plots). Please quote a price for timber futures because your story sounds like baloney.
- 2 tablets - let's say $500 for two. A single piece of corn sells for what, 50 cents? At an expensive supermarket? Let's pretend they convinced everybody in that rural atea to pay urban prices. That means they had to sell 1000 of them, over two months, 15 a day, 7 days a week, from a roadside stall. Yeah, don't see that happening.
- djloche 11y agoThe corn thing is just running the numbers to make it logical, rather than illogical. Instead of buying $250 tablets, they could buy $50-$100 tablets. They could sell by the dozen, which would mean they'd only need to close one or two sales each day. Since their parents run a music festival / camp, and three B&B suites, I am generous enough to consider that they had enough traffic make enough to afford a tablet of some sort. As far as timber futures or even the financial side of that business, I admittedly don't know much about. I do know of and see people that plant and maintain several acres explicitly for selling the lot's wood in the future. I assumed that such a time-expensive thing would have been turned into a financial product years ago, but that part I admit is a guess rather than fact.
