I was raised in a home with a brother seven years older than I. During my pre-teen to early teen years (mid to late 70s), my brother introduced me to what we now call classic rock from the likes of Eric Clapton, AC/DC. Led Zeppelin, Elton John, and the Rolling Stones. I say introduced, the walls in my home were thin and his room was next to mine. Needless to say when his stereo was on I could not help but be introduced. I continue to listen to these same artists and many more too numerous to mention here but suffice it to say it took me an entire weekend to download my classic rock cd collection on my new IPOD. I now will need a another IPOD if I wish to download any new music.
While working out in the yard yesterday I started listening to a Rolling Stones classic “Some Girls” and decided that it is a great tune to parody for the stock trader. If you are not familiar with this song check it out some time (parental discretion is advised!)and you will better appreciate the following (parental discretion not needed). Who knows, maybe this will become a classic too??
Some trades give me money
Some trades buy me clothes
Some trades give me jewelry
That I never thought I’d own
Some trades give me diamonds
Some trades, heart attacks
Some trades I give all my dough to
I won’t ever get it back
Some trades give me jewelry
Others buy me clothes
Some trades provide for my children
I never did ask for
So give me all my money
Give me all my gold
I’ll buy a house at Hampton Beach
And give the IRS half of what I own
Some trades make me money
Some trades take my clothes
Some trades take the shirt off my back
And leave me with nothing left to lose
Some traders they want cartier
Greedy traders want cars
Trend traders want everything in the world
You can possibly imagine
Arrogant traders they are so prissy
I cant stand them on the trading floor
Sometimes I take the trade off the table
Because I don’t want them to cover at all.
Jim Cramer he is pretty funny
Sometimes he drives me mad
Forex traders just wanna trade all night
I just don’t have that much time
Hedge Fund Traders can be so gentle
They can really create a squeeze
You never know quite what they’re cookin
Inside their silk lined sleeves.
Give me all my money
Give me all my gold
I’ll buy a house back in the Hamptons
And give the IRS half of what I own
Some trades they are so perfect
Some trades are all screwed up
Some trades provide for my children
I only had to trade it once!
Give me half my money
Give me half a car
Give me half of everything
I’ll be the world’s biggest star
So gimme all my money
Give me all of my gold
Let’s go back to the Hamptons
I’ll give the IRS half of everything I own.
I dedicate this post to Richard L. who is not only a close friend of mine but who is also a big Rolling Stones fan. Richard literally saved my life a few years back and for that I will always be grateful!!
Thank you Richard! Now go listen to Some Girls for me.
