The moron at Starbucks
by brian @ 15:43:30 - [perma-link]I've been sitting in Starbucks while Connie is shopping. The guys at the
next table have been talking the whole time. First the one guy was complaining about "kids today" and how they want
anarchy and think they know all the answer, yet they don't know anything
about foreign policy (neither does our president, dude), how to run a
business (cuz that's SO important), or economics. Then they moved on to selling stock. "If you buy 5,000 shares and it
goes up $5, you make $25,000. And all you need is $24; 12 to buy and 12
to sell." Yeah, buddy! I think you're onto something. I mean, if there's
anything we've learned over the last 5 years its that the stock market
is totally risk-free, and stocks always go up, right? How's that $12
gonna help you if you $5000 shares go down, say 1 cent? Moron. They just moved on to real estate schemes. But kids today don't know
anything. I'm outta here. |
