Recently, I was talking with Paul and expressed that though I work in finance, I don’t really understand the stock market itself. He offered this awesome analogy:
Paul: “Basically the Dow is like a 17-year-old, high school girl. The emotions are up and down–all over the place. Her parents buy her a car, she gets really happy–which is like the Dow gaining a lot of points. She drives to school and catches her boyfriend kissing another girl in the parking lot, she gets really depressed or ‘loses points’. And NASDAQ and S&P are like her best friends.”
Haha, that's great. 🙂
So … what? She's on her period right now?
100% correct. AND her boyfriend dumped her the same day she failed a chemistry pop quiz. Her parents grounded her over the test score and took away her car keys for 2 weeks.
Way harsh.
and her buddy S&P is about to commit suicide.

LOL–that is the BEST analogy i've ever heard! Five points! *shink*
