First Period

Her First Period is a ~5 minute comedy skit by The Frantics - but that description does not do justice to its utter hilarity. I was laughing so hard that...

How about you - do you find it equally funny...?

Stupid, stupid, stupid

Sure, I am long the stock, and know a higher price will occur soon. But leave apart the writer's and my dueling banjos perceptions of the same stock, and think on his imbecilic recommendation...

Short Heinz/HNZ at $55, with a stop loss at $61.73, or 12.23% Your profit objective is $51.63, or 6.12%... $6.73 of risk, $3.37 of possible profit. In essence, an abomination of the typical relationship between risk and reward.

Did I say stupid? I also mean misguided, irresponsible, and wrong. Horribly wrong.

Okay, okay, so it is a promo for the movie that comes next year. But that makes this video no less impressive...

What do you think?
