Investing in the stock market is a choice. The person has to be able to lose the money and not go under. It is a strategy to increase your income without physically working for it. I like the descriptions and the format. knowledge is power and trusting the right broker is imperative to success. thanks

    Thank you risktaker. Indeed it is a choice. It has its ups and downs. Like a roller coaster, it can be scary.

When I first looked at your illustration and read your title, I thought it had something to do with your heart. The illustration looks just like the picture on the machine monitoring my brothers heart in hospital. So, I am really happy it's about the stock market! Very well written, and very informative author's notes. :) Sandra

This is a useless game like black jack. There is no winner only losers and one I know committed suicide when he lost everything, my friend. Well done, Tom.

I enjoyed reading your poem about investing on the stock market. There was so much truth within the lines. I tried it once, and was given bad advice. I got burnt!

Hi Roy, this is a wonderful piece of poetical art my friend, i have never heard of a Petrarchan poem before but doesn't it work well with the help of your wonderful words my friend.

You really are on a roll, and your prolix is making it hard for me to stay caught up before my trip--but I'm not complaining, since I always enjoy your work. This piece took a different direction, with a focus on investing. I liked your collage of "Ticker Tape Tales". With the help of good instincts, newsletters and a financial adviser, we have seen our 2008 losses reverse. I especially liked your play on "Wall," use of alliteration and upbeat rhymes in this sonnet. Here's to that "secret stratagem"! -Joan

    Thank you Joan. Since bank interest is a joke. The Market is the best place to be, even with its ups and downs.

    We've been trying to convince our son about that, and he finally invested half of his bank savings in the S&P 500--talk about conservative investing! -J

That is something I don't dabble in, besides not having money I fear it would be too risky for me. Well written analysis of the pitfalls and highs. Good use of rhyming and good advice. I spotted one thing: line 3, investors' fortunes (more than one). Great montage. Faye

    Thank you Nosha. I'm comfortable with a singular investor or several.

You use a disciplined poetic form to describe an activity that seems as random as a roulette wheel at the casino. You conclude with the word "stratagem" but I suspect things remain as dangerous as ever.

Keep on educating me Treischel. You're doing great. This one is for my bookcase for later study. I remembered what you said about the pronunciation of "again" and with that memory it all fell into place. Thanks for this, especially the notes.
