woeful tuesday, page-49

Cats a terrible mentors. For a start they eat budgies who are good mentors....but I am reminded of a story. It was back in 2007 when I was one of those happy hopefuls that sat all day on the penny threads ponificating about why our particular stock was the next FMG. But it was a slow day so we were exchanging stories about trading mistakes....Trade4profit told the story of how he once had a buy order set up for a squillion shares in a two bob stock that he would buy if it got to his price. After a while he became bored and thirsty and went to make a cup of tea. He returned to find his cat strolling across his keyboard and....you guessed it...the cat bought him a couple of hundred G's worth of penny stock.....and not at an attractive price either.

So I guess the moral of the story is that you will never fall fowl if you listen to you bird's advice....by never let Puss make your trading decisions. It could be cat-o-strophic.
