Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 01, 2022

Two buys, two sells, one dump. That means 60% get out of the stock market.

As good as any other method and no expensive consultants

It won’t be any more accurate than it currently is.

They got tired of the Voodoo priestess casting chicken bones.

I’m betting that these people are financial advisers.

I guess that’s why he gets the BIG BUCKS!

It’s his job he’s gambling, but it’s the employees further down the ladder who are dealt the consequences first when decisions go south.

That Wheel of Fortune is usually hidden discreetly behind the Boardroom door.

Looks like 40% each pro or con, 20% dump. What happens if the arrow lands on a line? Another spin or flip a coin.

I was sort of hoping to see the Thunderdome wheel.

I know people for whom random chance would be more effective than their decision making abilities.

But – isn’t that what they do, anyway??

He used the latest artificial intelligence to design the wheel.

If you laid a thousand economists end to end, they would point in all directions.

However, one of those directions would turn out, by the sheer workings of random chance, to have been correct, and that guy will be telling you about it for the next 30 years, each time inviting you to follow his next bit of advice as well, for only a small monthly fee of …

Congressional meeting room.

Leaving it up to chance?

What was wrong with rolling the dice?

Today? No respect for tradition.

Be married to Nancy Pelosi and drink a lot.

With so many already rich senators, let’s not forget a few other things.

Like how’s your investment in Rump’s Casinos doin’? Or those steaks? Or RumpU? Or the donations to the AZ recounts?

Want to start comparing notes on the RWNJ side of all the insider trading that’s proven, not just allegations, let alone imagination?

Great Big Hint: Don’t trust anybody who’s ridiculously wealthy and tries to tell y’all they’re just like you.

Frankly, it beats my strategy. I just let the 401k guys decide.

Isn’t that how it is already done?

The CEO big wheel (pun intended) can then shirk all responsibility. If everything fails, he still gets his multimillion dollar bonus and severance package.

There has now been more than a billion dollars spent on ways to get an AI to spin the wheel. :)

Where’s sell short?

new (current) definition of “Board Games” ?

This cartoon is for those who think hedge fun managers are smart.

This is EXACTLY why the Stock Market looks like a Roller Coaster Chart every day. Idiot Traders who roll dice or spin a wheel whether to buy or sell, INSTEAD of gauging a company’s Worthiness as a Good or Bad company.

Actually, that works as well as an analysis.

Remember: analysis begins with ‘anal.’

When I graduated from engineering school 40 years ago I thought I was hot sh&#: Making a decent salary after years of scrimping. Finally when had a reliable car and no debt I decided I ought to think about investing for the future. I met with 2~3 stock brokers and listened to their spiel over lunch and quickly decided they had no idea why the market would trend up or down. It was a craps game. Haven’t changed my mind in 4 decades and I sleep at night…

I always wonder how they determine how they decide the market, now I know.

The stock market is a zero-sum game and the rich traders have an advantage. so of course your going to lose in the long run.

What?? No Free Spin?!!

They had to switch it up. The monkeys kept hitting people with the darts.

Probably gives them a better result!

Insider trading and bribes are best, otherwise a coin flip is as good as anything.

Love the croupier waiting to spin the whatever-it-is .. Mesdames et messieurs, faites vos jeux!

Get a real staff with the necessary skills instead of the lowest bidders?

Ah,yes.The old “Chimpanzee picks winning TV programs” ploy

The dumb choice is unnecessary it’s understood.
