Yea Jimbo,
Got in my cold ass plane, flew all the way to Omaha, sat in the middle of a bunch of Bell Curve Buffett Buffoons talking about how our new silver coated dimes would prove the Midwest Elvis correct in the long run.
Finally the bidding started. The King pulls out this skungy Walmart billfold with a sheen on one side, obviously from years of rubbing against a rump draped in Dacron Cotton attire. I don't know, maybe I was expecting too much but somehow, just felt a nice fake Emu skin card holder was the least he could have done. At any rate, like I say, the bidding started and before I could yell $3.40 some fat slob from Detroit with tears rolling down his fat jowls yelled $100,000, could have shot the SOB right on the spot for stupidity and never looked back, but before I could even digest the thought, devoted simpletons were pouring out of pickups faster than weak catsup yelling figures as if possessed by an altar call. Well to make a long story short, some hayseed from Hayhira Kansas purchased that bacteria infested animal dermato for the God loving price of $200,000 bucks! At this point I am so sick I can barely make back to my only car available rental Yugo, get in crank the damn thing and begin pulling out through the Coverall wearing throng when the thought of why I came there hit me, my God I forgot to ask what stock recommendation was in that slimy piece of animal dermati, surely to God he had changed his intractable mind and would suggest if maybe not QCOM, maybe MSFT, not to much to ask, right? Well, as you know folks he didn't did he, nope one of the Entrepreneurs of the century showed us exactly how he got to be where he is today, the senile bastard recommended of all things, you guessed it, not Qcom, not Msft, not even the decrepit K, no sir, the God and Guru of the stock world recommended of all things, damn friging REITS. I just drove off into the night repeating over and over, REITS, REITS, REITS, and so come Monday morning as sure as some Graybeard says we are going to correct, I am selling every thing even resembling a stock certificate and buying REITS.
