Could someone make some "FAIL" photoshops showing pictures / things we associate with the economy?

For example, a graphy showing the 1930s stock slip, with "FAIL" next to it?

/ FAIL

I am praying for you.

Specifically, I'm praying that you buy some immediately to prop mine up.

MBA Whore - your cynicism can't be doing you any good you know. It's funny though (and oh so right).

Shostie		2007-08-14 01:07:12 PM

So the Dow is down 100 points today and that's a plunge?

What would they call 1929, then?

Shostie: What would they call 1929, then?

A "correction"

The Crash of '29 aka Black Thursday/Tuesday

The market is going down so fast that the brokerage that handles my retirement fund can keep its web site up to date and they only update once per day at 4AM. I think they're ashamed of the funds' performances.

MBA Whore		2007-08-14 01:27:42 PM

Could someone with excellent, mad skillz (or more free time) make a "FAIL" photo for this?

Shostie		2007-08-14 01:38:15 PM

Sorry, Magorn, but your answer was insufficiently snarky. The point goes to DeadZone.

Forunately, my portfolio is sandwich-heavy.

An opportunity for dollar cost averaging.

I hear that usually pays off for the hungry investor.

The S&P 500 is at it's lowest P/E in a decade. Oh noes? Nah, more like Hells yea! I'll be dollar-cost-averaging myself to a nice retirement at this rate thanks to a generous 403(b) with $2-for-$1 matching (I put in $1, my employer puts in $2) invested in an S&P 500 index fund. See you all in 30 years on my Yacht, biatches!

/'bout time I got something from the farking Baby Boomers!
