When news of the shipment spread, the price of coffee would drop and Miguel would profit handsomely from the difference in price, as dictated by the puts, but these profits would only whet his appetite, a small first course in the larger feast ahead.
Когда дойдут слухи о поступлении большой партии кофе, цена на него упадет — и Мигель получит значительный доход от разницы в цене. Но эти прибыли только возбудят его аппетит, как небольшая закуска перед предстоящим пиршеством.
