Bad Emotional Investment

A playful tongue-in-cheek response to a poem that was sent to me. Here are a few lines out of the original:

"Your prospectus checked out
Picture perfect for the crowd
And the voice of your mission statement
Not too soft and not too loud
Your balance sheet was interesting
But that’s where I come in
Cos there’s nothing like a merger
For economical investing
The returns I get are better
Than the interest on a war
The only thing I’m wondering
Is why’s my heart so sore?"

I'll post the rest if anyone is interested and with permission from the author.



If you're such a brilliant investor

And know when to pull your shares

Then you really shouldn't hanker

For a gal in a market meant for bears

Or did you feel quite bullish

When your E-motions were spent?

Were you thinking of the future

and how you'd pay the rent?

Although you have many assets

They're all placed offshore

You haven't declared your dividends

for at least a year or more

You've talked about a merger

but you would retain control

For you it's more about power

That has always been your goal

So why dontcha invest in Walk street

Instead of feeling so low and 'dow'?

And don't step on my 'footsie'

As you say arriverderci, bye, ciao ciao
