The Economy Writ Small – as Haiku!

by Efin Advisor | May 2, 2009

At the end of National Poetry Month, “The Motley Fool” has put together some amusing financial haikus, short three-line poems of only 17-syllables.  We excerpt a few as examples.  Read the complete lineup at http://tinyurl.com/d7f5c3 .

The Swine Flew
Confidence is king
Banks’ balance sheets are just fine
Oh, look, pigs can fly

The Goldman Sachs Shimmy
Goldman Sachs defies
Trading destroyed estimates
How do I sign up?

Who isn’t to blame?
Populism reigns
Frenzied public soon will blame
Tim Geithner’s mother

U.S. Treasury Bonds
Why would you invest
In things that Warren Buffett
Warned were big bubbles?

Portfolio Meltdown
Stupid recession
Killing my portfolio.
Please go away. Soon.
