Sorry, I couldn't help but post this as it appears we are about to enter another day of wild trading. This was taken from Tommys premium service and should be used to lighten the mood as we head into yet another down day: STRATEGIES FOR A DEAD HOURSE (i.e. DEAD STOCK) Dakota tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. However, in the financial world we often try other strategies with dead horses, read dead stocks. Following are the top 10 ways investors deal with their "dead horses." 1. Buy another horse that looks just like our dead horse. 2. Change our horse's name to dot.com. 3. Sell the right to buy our dead horse to another unwitting horse buyer at a pre-arranged price and at a specific time in the future. 4. Upgrade our dead horse from neutral to attractive. 5. Split our dead horse into two so that it at least appears we have more horse. 6. Point out the fact that our dead horse is performing comparably to other dead horses. 7. Relish the fact that our dead horse now costs virtually nothing to maintain. 8. Buy more dead horses theorizing that there will be strength in numbers. 9. Blame the livestock market where we bought the horse. 10. Cling to the belief that "This horse is as dead as it can get so it represents virtually no risk."
