Some do want this. Many more would also join if they learned how to move forward and upward instead of backward and downward. They turned Eddie Murphy into a successful commodities trader in Trading Places.
I appreciate you giving this fellow a chance, glad you (and he) won that bet and good fortunes to both of you.
