Oh good god.
Kid comes home from school today talking about stocks and his portfolio they have for the 4th graders. And he starts giving me some advice.
1.) "crApple goes up everyday, you should get some." If it starts going down you can just "download some apps" and then it will go up some "points". Get a point for every app you download, right Dad?
Yeah boy thats it! So what if it goes down? Just download apps all day long and it will go up.
Ok then! Anything else?
2.) "Yeah! Get some Google" Ok so how does that work? What if it goes down? "Well it doesn't ever go down points, just like crApple" Uhhuh you don't say? "Well sometimes it does when I first check my portfolio in class, but then I just google some things for 5 minutes and it gives me some more "points". "If I keep googling long enough it goes green." Green huh? Is that good? "Yeah Daddy, you see it goes red when people aren't googling enough, but when they start searching at lunchtime it always goes green".
Thanks bud, I think I've got it now. Anything else?
Yeah that Dow company has lots of points, it keeps giving me 100 points a day.
Isn't it nice to be oblivious. |
