Economizing in Troubled Times
(Referring to the current economic depression, and perhaps the downfall of General Motors):
Charlton S. (12:03): “So I just bought stakes in horse and buggy automotive manufacturers, cardboard-box housing suppliers, and Ebay. I figure it’s a ‘value investment’ in the current market.”
Cameron N. (15:10): “Yeah, I’m looking into buying candle makers as well as matchbook manufacturers. I figure more families will be eschewing extravagances such as electricity in favor of more economical ‘melting-wax-and-wick’ home lighting systems. An additional selling point is the small amount of heat created, which could subdue the cold in the chilly North-East.
