In a brilliant display of economic timing during these uncertain times, OFB (I will let you guess which one) sends me this bit of financial advice:
Investment Tips for 2008
With all the turmoil in the market today, and the collaspe of Lehman Brothers and the acquistion of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America, this might be some good advice. For all of you with any money left, be aware of the next expected mergers so that you can get in on the ground floor and make some BIG bucks.
Watch out for these consolidations later this year:
- Hale Business Systems, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Fuller Brush, and W.R. Grace Co. will merge and become…Hale, Mary, Fuller, Grace.
- Polygram Records, Warner Bros., and Zesta Cracker join forces and become…Poly, Warner, Cracker.
- 3M will merge with Goodyear and become….MMMGood.
- Zippo Manufacturing, Audi Motors, Dofasco, and Dakota Mining will merge and become…ZipAudiDoDa
- FedEx is expected to join its competitor UPS and become…FedUP
- Fairchild Electronics and Honeywell Computer will become…Fairwell Honeychild
- Grey Poupon and Docker Pants are expected to become…Poupon Pants
- Knotts Berry Farm and the National Organization of Women will become…Knot NOW!
And finally……..
9. Victoria’s Secret and Smith & Wesson will merge under a new name…TittyTittyBangBang
Sorry gang. It’s my doing on the post but not the humor.
