Snow is in the forecast, but the Beach is on my mind!
When the dishwasher salesman has a quick wit, but yours is quicker. He wishes you a good day as he hangs up laughing.
How many jingles do you remember? What’s one that isn’t on the list, or can you make up your own? Share in the comments below!

I remember most of them. Especially #10. The rest of it goes, “meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow. Meow.”

So, did you buy the dishwasher? Or just crack jokes with the salesman?
LikeLiked by 1 person
He was asking how the new dishwasher was working for us. The one we had bought on earlier this week. Then he said that he had it written down in his book that we would be back to buy the 700 inch flat screen tv.
I said, “Yes, thats right and I have it written down that you were giving it to us at 50percent off!” 🙂

The stock market is an amazing thing when you think about it. We base so much on what it says about the value of a company as well as the strength of the economy. But when you look into it, it is based on fear, sentiment, herd mentality and little on fundamentals.
Look at Tesla. It has hundreds of times the P/E of a company like Ford or GM but Ford and GM have much more market share and dominate very profitable markets and actually know how to mass-produce vehicles. But Tesla feels good so there is a run on its stock making it a much more valuable company by our way of reckoning. Very odd.

You’re echoing my dad, who came to the conclusion that regardless of the actual value of a company, stock-trading is more a matter of emotion. That said, my brother made his fortune setting up IPOs.
Reading back about this same Reddit group that so PO’d these Billionaires, they’d apparently already screwed them several times over the last six months by simply noting that hotels and airlines would eventually bounce back from the drama being amplified by the short-seller “analysis”. I think Game Stop just turned into something of a viral joke. I have zero sympathy for any of those short-sellers..
As an aside, I’m amused that despite CNBC’s endless propaganda effort, the likes of both Catherine Cortez Masto and Shawn Hannity apparently agree. Maybe there’s still hope?
