The Customers' Yachts

It is said that, one day, a banker was extolling the virtues of his new yacht to the financier J.P. Morgan. Morgan listened patiently for a while and then asked the question that, some one hundred years later and after yet another in an apparently never ending series of financial crashes and debacles, is still applicable:

"But where are the customers' yachts?"

Enough said.

Ah yes. Who would have that thought that old JPM had it in him?
