in go promptitude
He or bygone
To to sherry
In be Renoir
do to molest

Are these people law-abiding inside-trading stock speculators? Are they wondering whether people are willing to speculate wildly even when told, up front, what is going to happen? Is this some bizarre sociological experiment? What's going on here?
