Analysis of Where to Bury Dead Presidents

Gary Lovell 1966 (Des Moines, IA)



Should I go with the flow
Or go against the grain?
Is Tesla the star of the show
Or is investing there insane?
Should I sink my cash in real estate
Or is that just not REIT?
Will currencies reverberate
Through aftermarkets overnight?
Is the end nigh when the VIX is high
Or when the yield curve is inverted?
Will my buck get more bang via FinTech or FANG
Or should my cabbage be diverted?
To invest with success seems simple from afar
There are many useful tricks
It's as easy as putting marbles in a jar
While blindfolded, wearing gloves and using chopsticks!
