Steak a claim

He did well in the market? They really must live in another universe!

Maybe, but he still prefers his money in sacks around his desk.

Maybe Brutus cornered the market on steaks.

Or did he get his steaks at the corner market?

Brutus and I seem to have the same market strategy. ;-)

Purple tie and yellow waistcoat, doesn’t go with gold cufflinks. grammar police at it again with everything before the comma, was tempted to put commer as in a type of truck and yes it’s trying again with both spelling and gramma.This is fun, I had lost my sense of the ridiculous for a while.

Same planet, different worlds. I wonder what Brutus thinks of when he hears about a bear market. (I think Goldilocks shops there.)

I know someone who is one of those business oriented stock market types, I don’t think I’m wired that way. On the other hand, I have been successful at raising a loving family, him, not so much.

Brutus would think flea market before the financial markets.

I invested in the market 8-10 months ago. 270 gallons of off road diesel and 380 # of propane, red beans and rice, canned corn, veggies, pancake mix, flour….. Proud to say I’m up 100%. The DOW however I’m DOWn.

If Thornapple can afford steaks he’s not doing too bad.

the market went well… and so did Brutus. what’s the problem, am I missing something?

Each has their own priority. Personally, I like Brutus’ better.

Brutus and I must go to the same market. Although I haven’t had a steak in I don’t know how long. Steak to me is a precooked hamburger patty. They’re quite tasty with Worcestershire sauce and easier on the teeth.

Well, yeah, he might be short. But his character would not be paying much attention to weekly fluctuations.

A killing in the market is all about perspective, especially in the meat market where many of us put our money in weekly….

Boss Hog may be on to some inside trading. Brutus looking out for family table. I salute Brutus.

Looks like the Chief took that comment the wrong way?

That reminds me, I need to go grocery shopping today. No steaks, but enough items I need in their sales flyer to justify going to the big store, as opposed to the small neighborhood Red Owl.

Well, Thornapple owns the grocery store and made a lot of money off of you…

My brother was bragging about his investments to our Dad. I added that I just liquidated my investment portfolio, I took all my pop cans back for redemption. My chuckled for years about that.

Well there’s the risky market, and not quite as risky market.

The ones that brag about their wealth do not deserve it.

Only Brutus Thornapple would think that the Stock Market is when the food marked is having a buy one get one free sale and he “stocks” up on what ever is on sale.

The priorities of one heart compared to another heart.

Obviously, they’re not on the same page regarding the market. Although I recognize the need for money, I prefer to be on Brutus’s page.

And they’re both pleased. A win-win

I’m pretty sure that only Brutus is correct here.
