Alpha Inspiration - The Banker's Son

"Dad," says the banker's son, "can you lend me two thousand dollars?"

"Two thousand dollars is a lot of money. What do you have in mind?"

"I have a sure tip on the share market."

"How much profit can we make?" asks the father cautiously.

"Four hundred dollars," replies the son eagerly. "That's two hundred dollars for each of us."

The father takes out his wallet and gives his son two hundred dollars.

"Let's consider that we have made this deal and that it has succeeded, son. You make two hundred dollars, and I save one thousand and eight hundred dollars."

During time of financial uncertainty, the banker father has come up with a solution that aims not to disappoint his son but also safeguarding his hard earn one thousand and eight hundred dollars.

Do you have any alternate idea to share with the banker father?
