Stock Market Humor

Sensex below 10000? Don't worry ! Relax with some stock market humor.

Bull Market - A random market movement causing an investor to mistake himself for a financial genius.
Bear Market - A 6 to 18 month period when the kids get no allowance and the wife gets no jewelry.
Market Correction - The day after you buy stocks.
Value Investing - The art of buying low and selling lower.

CEO - Chief Embezzlement Officer.
CFO - Corporate Fraud Officer.

STANDARD & POOR - Your life in a nutshell.
Stock Analyst - Idiot who just downgraded your stock.

Financial Planner - A guy whose phone has been disconnected.
Institutional Investor - Past year investor who's now locked up in a nuthouse.

An Analyst -Is a trained professional paid to guess wrong about the economy.

The First Law of Market Analysis: For every analysis, there exists an equal and opposite analysis.
The Second Law of Market Analysis: They're both wrong!
