The Crux of Professor Beecroft's Papers

Part 01.

Eire........Circa 2025

I do suspect the good professor did not intentionally leave out his signature. I mean it only took a second glance to notice what was left out. The papers were not that many or cumbersome in text. It was a simple five page document meaning to convey the bare basics of his contract with Ernest Consults; a law firm in charge of the ongoing relationship between my firm and the good professor. I am a seventy two year old man; seventeen years older than Professor Beecroft but I am not a Professor. I am just a man who has made a lot of money selling other people's ideas to angel investors. I am an angel investor myself, I mean I started out as one myself when I suddenly came into a lot of money in my mid thirties. I barely get involved in the day to day execution of duties in my firm now. I leave that to my daughter; Hannah. I trust her, she is just like her mother: very feisty and confident. But she has a very good head.

I guess this is why she ignored the lack of signature on these documents: she must have thought that I should read the small print first before ''we'' make up her mind about what it is exactly we should expect from the good professor.

Han, as I like to call her, only leaves room for other people's opinions when it seems, she has run out of her own ideas. She is like the proverbial man of ideas or life-ideas hacker; someone who always seemed to come up with ideas ranging from the scientific to the abstract; the ideal candidate for the ideal angel investor. This is like someone not too far from the scientist of the present times or someone with enough pedigree as that of a PhD student or a technician with years and years of experience. This is not to abuse your mind as against other persons of artistic inclinations. They all fall into this category.

Part 02. In my world you welcome them all, that is if you can fit them all in a room. It is like this: you suddenly found you have come to so much money, speculating cryptocurrencies on the internet just before the bubble becomes bust and you do not know what to do with the loads and loads of cash. That's lots of money, but not freakishly loads of money; something you secretly gleefully covet as you plot your next move in the world of speculative investments. This is the crazy world of gambling on an expectation which you hope  only a few others would be able to guess or estimate correctly but a bit late. Meaning you get to be the one to make the quick exit out of the party before the value of your product drops. These are products like the next value of a certain cryptocurrency in real monetary terms or the next position of a currency in a pair of currencies on a currency pair exchange. Like I said you welcome them all. Han's early morning routine as it has been for a wh...

Part 04. However this may be, I must say I appreciated the aesthetics of this particular memorabilia, so much so I figured I would be wearing it for Cedric's party invite. Han would accompany me, so it may be a thing of interest or a particular talking point for the host and some other invitees. I must say though, I don't like being at the centre of things now, but I would be hard put out to persuade Han to wear it instead. Your guess is as good as mine, but I guess Han would laugh, if she were to hear any suggestions about either of us dressing in a chain of a lion's teeth for Cedric's dinner party . But being the dutiful daughter she is, she would most likely not dissuade me, if I were to make any such suggestions to her. On the contrary she would be very fast put out to suggest matching colours of suits and clothes to go with the chain. That is if she can get past the initial disclosure of my doubts. She would only be too glad to help. Cedric, as was his cus...
