FINANCIAL HUMOUR

Financial humour in these days of gloom add some fun to life :
"Black Mondays used to be a once-in-a-lifetime event. Now they are coming along more regularly than Delhi Metro trains."
Another talks about the companies' balance sheets:
"Assets are written on the left and liabilities on the right side. But, there is nothing left on the right and nothing is right on the left."
There are also some other jokes with political flavour:
"Bankrupt allowed to return to their native place without ticket, says Railway Minister Lalu Prasad;
"Bankrupt to be given imported wheat free on ration:" Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar; "Stock market losses to be treated as tax deducted at source": Finance Minister P Chidambaram.
One more on bull-bear theory says:
There used to be bulls and bears in the market, now every one is a plain old ass.
Another one defines :
P/E ratio as the percentage of investors wetting their pants as the market keeps crashing.
Then a conversation has been visualised like this in one SMS:
How many stockbrokers does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer is two -- One to take out the bulb and drop it, and the other to try and sell it before it crashes.
