Close to Home by John McPherson for March 21, 2025

Make sure you put your money in a safe place before the ride starts.

Bleeb is enormous!

His size appears to have increased along with his current value of nearly $42,000!

A little bit too close to home.

I suspect some of the drops in the Dow are orchestrated by the wealthiest to scare the little investors into selling their shares. Then they can buy those shares at the lower price and get even richer as the Dow climbs back to a higher level.

Driving on a street full of potholes is a smoother ride.

Well, you know what they say…

The best way to make a small fortune in the stock market, is to start off with a big one.

Bleeb! Be careful up there!

Haha! And they can’t stop riding it, can they?

Short sellers have made about $11 Billion in recent drops.

The Ride Exit is at the bottom

Warren Buffett started selling billions of dollars worth of stock during a good part of last year. I figured he noticed some things about the economy he didn’t like. I guess he was right. Now, when the market has dropped a lot and prices are down, watch what 94 year old Warren does!

Now with our brand-new, Inside-Out Crypto Loop-de-Loop! At the top you get flung out of your car, climb even higher, and then land somewhere out in Parking Lot D!

Thank old-age Trump for mangling the economy.

Like under a mattress?

Ha! Good one!

Future historians will describe “Day One” as the beginning of the downfall of the USA.

Do they shut this down and open the “Dow Jones of Hope” when the market goes back up, as it always does?

Wow. I love the ignorance of folks. Investing is for the long term, 20, 30, 40 years, perhaps even longer. A blip here, a hiccup there, a recession, even the Great Depression…….through all of that the stock markets still average roughly 12% year over year. Regardless of President, changes in CEOs, wars, financial boondoggles (2008 anyone?), people still end up OK and their investments still improve in the long term.

Good grief.

Either one, we’re barfing.

Tarrific!

That was mighty big of Bleeb to participate in this ride.

Excuse me, I have to go pet my piggy bank. :)

Timely. Here is today’s headline: Stock market today: Wall Street edges lower despite solid data on the economy

Hang on! It’s gonna be a bumpy ride!

My money goes ”Weeeeee”
