I’m in the Post Office today mailing a Christmas card. Woman behind the desk is wondering out loud if Amazon is in the S&P 500. No one answers.
The woman goes on saying how well she has done with the S&P. IRA and all. (Impressive, I thought.) Someone on line concurs.
“It will continue going up forever.” Not today, I say. “Grinch that stole Christmas” another patron says.
Me: Go ahead and shoot the messenger. (Bad news gets no respect and I cower out and wish all a Happy Holiday.)
Not saying the same as the “Shoe shine guy giving tips", but close.
