I Won $40.00 today betting that the stock market would drop.

This morning I worked at the bank with 4 freepers (doing IT work..Computers)

One of them came up with a "Pool" on how much the market would drop...(we each put-up 10 bucks).


Ha!...Like taking candy from a pack of babies.

The bets were:

1.127
2.236
3.88
4.202
Me. 508 :) :) :)

1. Now take that money and invest it.

2. Did they think % instead of point drop

or did they sleep through the entire weekend?

3. Dang, can you get a poker game going with these guys?

I'd leave 'em enough for bus fare home, I promise. They'd be in their shorts, but at least they wouldn't be hitching.

8. No. Lots of people who understand options, puts and shorting the markets

are making money.

9. Oh, I know about that, but the "congratulations" wisecrack was just too tempting n/t
