Riding a Bear

Went to my adviser
Knew the market was down
Looked at my portfolio
I almost hit the ground

I couldn't believe it
I stuttered and stammered
Oh my god
I really got hammered

All I could do
Was sit there and stare
Staying in this market
Is like riding a bear

He charges
He lunges
He jumps in the air
It's not over yet
So buyer beware

If we can just hang on
We might survive
If we jump off now
He will eat us alive

Perfect flow. I was able to read this with no hitches. As for the message - sound advice! It's just like riding a bull, stay on, and you get the prize. The prize being in there to catch the wave when the stocks come back up. Unfortunately, the "experts" aren't expecting that for months. It'll keep ping-ponging, and the graphs will look like the Andes. Hang in there. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes, and you look so polished from your hair down to your toes.
