"Bargaining with the Devil" is a dangerous process, because in the end, you might just find your own Devil. On the other hand, in a free market society, bargaining is everything, and there are such geniuses in the market that even the Devil might find his match with them! In any case, everyone is always searching for something and always finds something. Thus, the eternal and endless game continues: The Devil searches for a lost human soul... Man searches for devilishly good luck... The ordinary reader searches for an interesting story... And the undersigned simply "finds it!"
