El secreto de la riqueza consistía en esperar que el dinero se multiplicara por sí solo en las compañías financieras, y era eso lo que hacía Marcelito, aunque se guardaba bien de publicarlo: sus artículos recomendaban mesura, prudencia, repetían la fábula de la cigarra gastadora y de la hormiga ahorrativa, pero él llevaba las fortunas que ganaba a los bancos que le indicaba el suegro: los que pagaban doce o trece por ciento de interés mensual y navegaban a toda vela protegidos por el Estado.
