"Blissful Ignorance" joke

When the stock exchange index reached its peak before the Harshad Mehta affair broke out, many rich contractors, who knew very little about the stock exchange, used the opportunity to make some quick money. Their level of ignorance can be made out from the following incident, narrated by a broker. One day he received a call from one of these fat cats who wanted to find out about what was happening in the market. The broker says, he told the caller that the index had touched 3, 000 points. Prompt came the reply, "Theek hai, uske bhi hazaar kharida. (OK, buy a thousand of that too.)"
