Day Trader's Dilemma
by Lawrence Andraschko
Yuma, Arizona.
fm2000@juno.com


Should I sell or should I hold?
If I hold there could be trouble,
But if I sell, the stock could double.

Am I weak or am I bold?
Should I sell or should I hold?

My stock keeps going up.
Better pour myself another cup.
All this coffee makes me jitter,
Have I picked another winner?

Am I weak or am I bold?
Should I sell or should I hold?

This indecision is killing me.
The price is falling and I have to pee.
Do I hold my bladder and my stock,
Or do I sell and use the pot?

Am I weak or am I bold?
Should I sell or should I hold?

The stock goes up and I wait no more,
I sell my shares and hit the floor.
A little profit beats a loss,
How I suffer as my own boss.

Am I weak or am I bold?
Should I sell or should I hold?

Nature keeps calling and I need a plan,
Maybe kitty litter or some sand.
Put it right beneath my desk,
Then I wouldn't make a mess.

Am I weak or am I bold?
Should I sell or should I hold?

"Nowadays, you can't turn on the TV without some talking head telling you about the economy. Yet, in a world overrun by 'analysts,' only one man has the guts, the brains, and, quite frankly, the poetry to put it all in perspective.That man is Michael Silverstein... Silverstein is a true intellectual." — Gersh Kuntzman, The New York Post

"Few people have found much to laugh about in the stock market this year. Michael Silverstein is the exception. The Bard of the Bourse can find humor in losing money, globalization and stock options." — USA Today
