So what can you get these days for $3 million? Well, this apartment. Or 250,000 pairs of those khakis that Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh loves so much. How about two islands due south of Brooklyn? (If you’re interested and your name is Mr. Moneybags from Monopoly, they are still for sale, a Realtor said this week.)
Here is where we pivot. It used to be that a $3 million deal for 25,000 barrels of Gulf Coast gasoline happened almost every trading day.
