A Roller-Coaster

Dapper Dan was a devil-may-care
  His favorite game was 'Shark-Pit'
Bought a roller-coaster with his money
  In hedge funds and junk bonds he parked it

Stocks and bonds are something. I was a licensed stockbroker backin 1984- one of only two female brokers in a 31 man office. I had almost forgotten this lost year of my life. I despise paperwork! I ended up selling commodities mostly- much quicker roller coaster ride. Smile.

You were a licensed stockbroker?! OK... Then again I was a head-hunter (executive recruiter) back then (1984)... Go figure. Life has its twists and turns. Smiles, Gershon

Good one! Those who have stocks are not buying out. I mean working folks who are being responsible for their retirement. Not those who are in it to make a killing. PRxx

Well, the stock market has been a roller coaster lately, so I guess he's getting his money's worth!
