Can we, I suppose, trap tourists in an impenetrable zone and force them to gamble away all their money in our casino before we let them out? That might work. Or better yet, we can become stock market experts and grow our pot of money by choosing a good portfolio. Don’t laugh; the city, after years of prosperity, has started investing its long-term savings in the stock markets but because it waited so long, it missed the 25 percent increase that has made a whole bunch of people rich but not us. “A late day and a short dollar” should be our new motto from now on. It’s more accurate than “Technically Good.”
