Mike du Jour by Mike Lester for August 01, 2020

The odds are against you in the stock market, too.

Gotta watch your account and broker very carefully….greed seems to have take hold in America

A dealer in stocks named Coker/ was a most irregular broker/ The rumors were that/ he got tips from his cat/ And if good, Coker would stroke her.

The Market’s a dangerous beast/ where the predators gleefully feast/ on the smaller investor/ (like us, Mike Lester ?)/ So buy some CD’s, at least.

Scratch-off tickets, not a good retirement plan.

Very, very good, Mike.

When lottery tickets first got started here I use to complain that some OLD bastard always won and probably didn’t need the money, well guess what, this old bastard is still waiting.

Expected “in a whim” as punch line.

I once had a broker named Vern/who promised a wondrous return/he found good positions/and earned fat commissions/ but Vern was inclined to “churn “.

…being crooked from stem to stern.
