Funny, I was pondering the Malfoy fortune over the weekend. It's nice to
have a big vault full of galleons, but over time, it's going to disappear.
In the Muggle world, families like the Malfoys invest their money. Not only
do they receive interest and dividends, but often make extremely large
profits on investments (well, at least before the big bubble burst a few
years back). I wonder if there are serious investment opportunities in the
Wizarding World or if famiies like the Malfoys dabble in Muggle finanaces.
