meandering monday, page-17

Red, I can sympathise with you...BUT---

I think that old adage about when the elevator boy talks stocks it's time to get out...has had its day.

Everyone's into the stock market these days, thanks to the CBA, TLS, QAN and other floats years ago.

News bulletins, both radio and TV give so-called finance reports daily.

So the amount of interest is certainly much, much higher than the old days when no-one we knew owned shares and those who did were bequeathed them in old uncle Henry's will.

When the taxi driver and elevator boy (do we still have lift drivers?) talk shares---it's because they own them and their price is in news bulletins everywhere.
