Forrest Gump & "Roulette" Market...by PAL:

"My stockbroker told me to invest in a fruit company. Since I like to eat Apple (APPL), I did. That stock keeps going up and up.

You remember that I like to run fast. I wear Puma shoes, which I like so much, so when my broker told me to buy Puma (PUMA), I said go ahead. That stock keeps going up and up.
I don't know why my broker says that it is going to split. I keep checking my shoes, I don't see any sign that it is going to split. Sometimes that broker does not make sense.

My Mama always told me that to be healthy, I should eat food with a lot of fiber. I want to stay healthy and eat a lot of fiber. So I called my broker to buy stocks in fiber. And that stock keeps going up and up.

Then one day when playing pingpong, I hit the ball so hard that it did break net after net. So I told my broker that I like companies that are in the net. He executed my wish and told me he bought the internet. I don't know what internet is, I just want a net. Those net companies keep going up and up.

The last one was when one day the telephone rang, I tripped on the telephone cable. I told my broker that I didn't like those cable on the telephone. So he bought me stocks in company that makes telephones without wire. He says he gets a quality communication. That stock keeps going up and up.

With all that money, I can afford to buy a box of chocolates. I like that because it is just like what life is all about: you don't know what you are going to get... " Forrest Gump
