Blindly Trusting

How the heck can we trust these jokers. When given our fortunes they poke us, with the promise to invest, and return high interest. So why are investors called brokers?

They are dubbed, "Broker" because you leave broker than you were before? It seems to me people would realise if a broker was any good, he/she would be too busy earning money for him/herself to dip into their savings …. Aloha! Rico

G'day Rico … it's the thrill of playing with other peoples money. After obtaining a fee, losing the rest is irrelevant - thanks Rico - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay, I think it is safer to invest our monies by following our own gut feeling! Investors and brokers at the end of the day are all jokers. They look after their own interests and not yours! A thought provoking limerick. Best wishes, Jennifer.
