Tax Refunds and other offers

Paul Basel comments that he too received an invitation to expedite his tax refund, but his did not have a link. So he would have had to send an email. He has, of course declined, as have I.

But I do have other financial hopes. There are several gentlemen from Africa, mostly from Nigeria and Niger, who regularly make offers for me to manage their money for them. But for now I am concentrating on winning the Lottery. Why just last month I managed to get one (1) of the six numbers correct!

And then there's the stock market and other forms of gambling.

Years ago I read somewhere that the average investor would be better off taking his money to Las Vegas and playing blackjack. The reasoning was simple.

1. He knows more about blackjack than the stock market.

2. He will probably receive free adult beverages, and perhaps free food, lodging and other entertainment.

3. The scenery will be much better. Much better.......

4. When he loses the management will be more sympathetic than his broker.

Of course sympathy is also found between sh*t and syphilis in the dictionary......

Which may be unfair to the casino and the broker. Neither want you busted because if you loose your ability to play, then they have no customer. They just want their share.....
