Gadwall Quackinson: Mr. McDuck, how exactly did this come to be? I'm looking at the reports right now and there seems to have been no change in the value of the company. How did this happen?

Scrooge: Well, as many of you may know, I have my fair share of enemies trying to knock me off the top. My main nemesis, Flintheart Glomgold has been steadily gaining on me for quite a while. This morning he finally managed to inch ahead and now I'm only the second richest duck in the world.

Gadwall: What kind of investments is he involved in?

Scrooge: I can't speak to that, but I do know how he managed to knock me out of the top spot...he snuck into my vault and stole a single gold coin.

Canvasback Breadeater: You mean to tell me...he broke in to your vault, which holds your entire fortune, and only took a single coin.

Scrooge: That hooded merganser! He knew that was all the needed to overtake my wealth, so he did it to taunt me. I could ring his neck!

Gadwall: Well, sir, if he is only ahead of you by a single coin, this problem should be easily fixed with some simple investments. How do you feel about real estate?

Scrooge: Explain.

Gadwall: Well...we take some of your money and buy property. Then we use the property to turn a profit.

Scrooge: But won't I fall further behind when I spend the money to buy the property? How does that even make sense!? Your plan takes me in the opposite direction! Who knows how far I will tumble down the "richest ducks" list by the time your silly plan is through.
