Fictional Explanation of Today's Stock Market...
Drunk guy 1: I'll give you $2,000 for that Rolex.
Sober guy: It's fake. Got it on Madison Ave for $30 bucks.
Drunk guy 1: I don't care, I think Rolex is going to be cool again. Like spandex or saying "psyche."
Sober guy: right, I hear ya, but this watch isn't real. Costs $3 to make, $30 street value.
Drunk guy 2: you don't get it, dude, Rolex is gonna be off the hizzie in 2009.
Sober guy: Even the fake ones?
Drunk guy 1: Doesn't matter. no one cares. It's ROLEX!
Drunk guy 2: Yah, and we don't want to miss it. That thing could be worth $6,000 by next week. Nothing worse than missing the rally.
Drunk guy 1: Fine, $2,800.
Drunk guy 2: $3,000!
Drunk guy 2: You're gonna look stupid for selling it to us when the government starts buying every Rolex out there for $7,000.
Sober guy: When did the government say it was going to buy Rolex watches from people?
Drunk guy 2: Dude, Rolex is too big to fail.
Drunk guy 1: Told ya the market was going higher playa!!
Sober guy: But the market hasn't gone any higher...you guys just keep bidding over the top of each other. And it's fake...the watch. You know it's fake, right?
Drunk guy 1: $3,200! Bam...just went higher!
Drunk guy 2: Go home and cry to your mama cause the market is goin' higher!!!
Drunk guy 1: $3,400! Bam.
Sober guy: Dude, you just outbid yourself.
Drunk guy 1: Yah, I know. I'm getting ready for the Robin Hood event.
