Well, there's no late night comedy show for investors, so I took it as my calling to launch one.
In case you missed the initial installment of "6 Wall Street Riddles", I'll give it another go, with jokes covering financial news that broke over the past week. Apologies in advance if they fail to educate, amuse, or enrich.
1. Superstitious investors will be rooting for the Boston Celtics tonight, because the market rose during the last championship winning streak for Boston. The market fell during the Los Angeles Lakers' three-peat in the dot-com bubble years. Why else are bulls rooting against the Lakers?
They are confusing Kobe Bryant with Bear Bryant.
2. Despite the hype over Steve Jobs unveiling the new Apple
He knows that skeletal fingers are the best way to peck out the right letters on the iPhone's clunky touchscreen keyboard.
3. Time for a knock-knock joke:
"Knock, knock."
"Who's there?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah who?"
"Yahoo!
(NASDAQ:YHOO) would turn down a $47.5 billion buyout offer!"
4. Why did Yahoo! turn to Google
Who hasn't?
5. Major Borders Group
With Amazon's Kindle-backed quest to deliver books digitally, it is trying to take down borders -- and Borders.
6. Krispy Kreme
