Bankruptcy

Bears are Funny; Bulls are Serious

By J. Michael McBride

Among the articles I read, some cover the socio economic side of the markets. Evidently, there is even some socio economic research to show that jokes about the market only occur in a bear, since gains are serious business and no laughing matter. Here are 2 funnies along those lines:

"Well, the market went down over 700 points today. Oh, that reminds me. You know, we turn our clocks back soon. We're turning it back to 1929, I believe." --Jay Leno

"Hey, look, I don't want to say the stock market is unstable, but this morning, the opening bell was rung by Paula Abdul." --Jay Leno
