Especially the guys on the street corner. I think it was 6 for a
dollar. They would be at a light at a busy intersection grabbing the
evening rush hour. It was always a dollar a bag, transaction took about
3 seconds. The bought them at the factory and doubles their money, all
cash.

I imagine they saved the cash to invest in stocks, perhaps mutual funds.
After setting aside their taxes of course.
