A Fabulous Fountain of Laughs

Looking for happiness in the stock market assures a life of dissatisfaction.  Still many pursue it somberly to the mausoleum.  When the market’s up they feel happier…richer…and smarter too.  And when the market’s down they’re in the doldrums…ready to jump at any moment.

Too bad for them, and their family, they have it all backwards.  For they take the stock market far too serious.  They actually believe that it’s a device that’ll give you something more out than you put in.  That somehow, someway, it’ll make you wealthy.

We, on the other hand, look to the stock market as a source of amusement…a massive barometer of the collective fantasies and delusions of our fellowman.  Here we find a boundless spectacle, a gaudy pageant, a radiant farce, and a fabulous fountain of laughs.

And what a side-splitting year it has been.  For what could be more hilarious than watching a bunch of Wall Street con men get whacked by their very own fiddle scheme?

Indifferent to Hanky Panky   

Of course the stock market, the housing market, and the economy, hasn’t given people much to be happy about since last Thanksgiving. 

As families sat down for their Thanksgiving meal, their retirement accounts were, on average, about half of what they were this time last year.  Their home values were off 20 percent or more.  And there were 10.1 million, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who were out of a job.

So, too, the Federal Reserve was up to no good on Tuesday with the announcement of a new $800 billion dollar bailout package.  In early October the $700 billion dollar bailout incited fury and uproar among the populace.  Yet with this even larger bailout no one bothered to care.  With all the hanky-panky of late, we’re now indifferent.

A Merry Feast

But we won’t dwell on it today.  For today is a day of relaxation…a day of recovery from all the gratitude. 

We’d originally intended on having a quiet Thanksgiving at home.  Just us, our wife, and our 23 month old son.  But somehow that quite day of Thanksgiving transformed into a merry feast of 16.

We were joined by our in-laws…and several out-laws.  We sat down around the Gordon table – with our extended Arellano, Martinez, and Diaz families – and said thanks.  Food was in abundance, kids were everywhere, stories were told, and good laughs were had.

Before it was over, the kids had thrown all the pillows and blankets into the middle of the floor…and were hurling themselves off the couch like circus performers.

We ate, and then we ate some more. 

And we were thankful, grateful, and happy.

Sincerely,

M.N. Gordon
