Hey, wanna ‘Hot Tip’, straight from the horse’s mouth?
Caught a few minutes of Jim Cramer show tonight. (Cant help it….the price I pay for having a remote control, and a habit of flipping channels)
Anyways, ole Cramer was passing on a hot one tonight. VISA is soon to offer an IPO. He suggested all his viewers call thier brokers, and beg, borrow, steal, harrass, whatever thier brokers to get them a few shares of this “Winner”. Told his audience, it was a sure thing, a winner…a gold mine.
(Yeah, like those Credit Card Companies aint the next victim in this charade of debt. Of bills that Americans are falling behind in, only slightly less so than thier ARM Mortgage)
One of these days….and I just know it will be soon….one of those ‘Stock Expurts’ is gonna hold up a Gold or Silver Eagle, and announce, “An ounce is still an ounce”. I just know it. Course, I was pretty sure my attempts to crossbreed a watermelon and a cucumber would have the world beating a path to the farm. (One of those things that looked good on paper…grin)
Hey, dont laugh at me. Even had a name picked out, and ready to copyright. CukeMelon.
OK….so maybe it was a crazy idea afterall. But probably not even half as crazy, as what the growers on Wall St have crossbred, invented, with all thier paper derivitives. And somebody, bought thier crazy idea, right? (grin)
Course, Im learning, that things on paper….well, sometimes the value of the paper itself, is about as good as it ever gets.
Best, Farmboy
