For the second week in a row, prices surged ahead and trading volume on the New York Stock Exchange climbed to a new record, 58,194,770 shares, an avalanche that strained the facilities of banks and brokerage houses.

But you have to go out into the jungle to trap him. That's when we meet him on our terms instead...
...Salaam, Hugo is a happy-go-lucky sort who loves nothing better than romping with dogs on the bank, marching behind a herd of cattle, and frolicking in the creek, creating miniature tidal waves.
