Penthouse Blues

This boom and bust economy can take us to extremes, raise interest rates one quarter point and see who yells and screams. Courage is required when times get mean and hard, like when a primitive restaurant won’t take your credit card. Financial ruin can beckon to make one squirm and whine, when Dow Jones takes a tumble and portfolios are in decline. Privation looms with losses emotions saw and whip, investments shrink a fraction causing capitol gains to dip. Trade in a new Mercedes for merely a Cadillac, what will people think of you when they see you driving that? The tension of the market never eases or relaxes, ‘cause if Democrats get elected you might even pay some taxes! The perils of investing can lead to loss or gain, put your trust fund on the line to play the money game.
