Seeing as how I always got my IBD about four days late, I wondered how anyone could make money using it.
I have decided to make a collage of all of the posts in here so far..... The guy is riding up on the elevator with his foot in the bucket that he stepped in earlier. He looks around and everyone is reading the WSJ, so not wanting to be outdone, he pulls out his four day old IBD, and proceeds reading about all of the stocks that he should have bought four days ago. All of a sudden, there is a terrible commotion, and a man in a straight jacket is thrown into the elevator. He is ranting and raving about "Old Flat-top" Saying this is the secret code and no one understands it but him.
The guy reading the IBD has pushed floor #32, but when the elevator arrives on that floor he suddenly has an revelation
That man in the straight jacket came from the penthouse floor,and was the CFO for that huge conglomerate. The idea is forming in his head....
And I now pass the story to YOU.....

The "Jive Talkin" mutual fund commercial--same thing but with clips right from CNBCs "Buy Sell and Hold".

I think it is hilarious that CNBC is broadcasting a commercial whose point is that CNBC is just a bunch of BS..buy our fund.
