David R. Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Start with a large one! Old joke, I have heard "in the music business" substituted for 'on stocks', but the idea is the same. Day after the rousing speach ment to buoy the market, stocks are wayyyyyy down. All I can say is, ouch. -David R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip McDonald Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 First, buy into an oil firm. Maybe call it, I don't know... Harken Oil or something like that. Hang out while it does well. Then, when you find out it's about to go under, don't worry about trying to save the company or alerting private shareholders, SELL SELL SELL SELL SELL SELL SELL ..and make a "tidy" profit. The trick is to have buddies in the FEC, and conveniently sort of like "forget" to file that you sold all of your stock until well after the company goes under - otherwise, you'll go to jail for insider trading. Later, you can pay your buddies back by inheriting an even bigger position (in the greater scheme of things), and sort of looking the other way. It's doesn't matter! As our hero Gordo Gecko says, "Greed is good!". Never mind that this person, if he wasn't sitting on his throne, would be in jail had he done things by the book. Never mind that right now he's in a position to approve another cronie to a high governmental position, or to try to put away the bastards at Worldcom, or that his friends (and his underling's friends) at Enron and apparently every large auditing firm in the U.S. are crooks, it doesn't matter, GREED IS GOOD!

Probably the cleanist fun out there. :D Remember when GWB was still a candidate, one of the things he was stumping on was for us to be able to invest [i]more[/i] of our retirement savings in the stock market. Ooooooh, good idea. Uncle Dickey is getting sued, Pres. Georgie is dodging questions about his stock sales in the 90's that got him 800+G's, and his 'personal loans' that he got (and paid back with company stock!). The new slogan should be "Buy high, sell high, be high." -David R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
