Seven bucks for a drink
Monday, January 22nd, 2007Mel posed a question to our friend, the MBA, while we were out for drinks: what’s the deal with the stock market? And stockholders? And shares? And ROI?

MBA explained it all, in terms we could understand, and then the argument ensued: is capitalism good or bad?
Mel: Bad!
MBA: Good!
Two Knives: Another vodka please.

How come it took so long to discover that I’m a socialist? And what do I do with my stocks?
