Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [732]
Always remember about investments that assessing whether they are good or bad requires one to look at things from several different perspectives and not just the obvious ones. For example, the photo below seems to show two terrible investments: an sweater that fits terribly badly and a shockingly bad food choice. But both are actually good investments.
(If anybody wants to see the original photo, just go to the FB page of the church Jimmy Poorhouse is an elder at and then type his surname into the search bar, you'll soon see the photos of his wife retiring from the church. I thought that if he wants to post about the ex-wife he imagines I have, well, what goes around comes around, and this actually is a verifiable photo rather than another of Jimmy's fantasies.)
The vastly oversized sweater is a good investment because it's fourth-hand hand-me-down that was given to Jimmy but doesn't fit him, so he gave it to Mrs Jimmy Poorhouse. It cost him nothing, but it provides some warmth on the nights when Jimmy Poorhouse can't afford to heat the shack (i.e. every night) and its size means it can also be used as an indoor tent whenever the roof leaks (i.e. every time it rains). A double benefit for zero expenditure is at least a reasonable deal.
The chocolate fountain is of questionable hygiene and terrible dietary effects, but it was paid for by the church and does just that little bit extra to make Jimmy Poorhouse even more morbidly obese. So it's a good return for everybody else. Plus it's better than what Jimmy Poorhouse could afford to get her (she's such a lucky lady), which would have been absolutely nothing, as Jimmy Poorhouse is too poor to even go out for a cup of tea, as we can see from him being utterly clueless about what a cup of tea costs!
