A rich man who was going on a long journey called his three servants together. He told them they would be caretakers of his property while he was gone. The master had carefully assessed the natural abilities of each servant. He gave $500k to one servant, $200k to another, and $100k to the third—to each according to his ability. The master then left on his journey.
The servants went forth into a world open to enterprise and investment. The servant who had received $500k went into business and made five more. The servant who received $200k made two more via day trading. But the servant who received one hid the master’s dosh under his mattress.
The master returned to settle his accounts. The servant who had received $500k came forth. “My lord,” he said, “you entrusted me with $500k; see, I have made five more!”
“Well done, good and faithful servant!” the master responded. “You have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of a good party!”
Then the servant who had been given two talents approached the master. “My lord,” he said, “you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have made two talents more!” The master praised the servant in a like manner.
Then the one who had been given one talent approached his master. “My lord,” he said, “I knew you to be a hard man; you reap where you have not sown, and gather where you have not scattered; and being afraid I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours!”
The master’s response was swift and harsh: “You wicked and indolent slave! You were aware that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered; you ought for that reason to have invested my money with the bankers; then, on my return, I should have received my own with interest.”
The master ordered that the talent be taken away from the lazy servant and given to the one with the $500k. “For to every one who possesses not,” said the master, “even that which he has shall be taken away. Cast that useless slave into the Christmas Island detention centre, and no snorkeling gear!”

trading: Don't share your good stock picks, or posts P&Ls or give advice less the trolls accuse you of being fake and tear you to pieces on the forum.
Did I come close or a word salad?
