Investment Tips from Eric

Hi, I'm Eric. My TV broke on Tuesday, so I've just been sitting in my recliner thinking. I've got a bunch of great ideas. Most of them I'm waiting to share until I get patents and/or copyrights. But these investment tips are yours for free.

1) The pop/rap-metal bubble is ready to burst. Divest now. You'll never get a better price on Britney. It's too late for N'Sync, Kid Rock, and all Creed-a-likes.

2) I know it sounds crazy now, but sell low-rise jeans/clunky shoes, buy spandex leggings and Reeboks.

3) Sell Jerry Bruckheimer, buy Harvey Weinstein.

4) Sell all single-letter suicide/designer drugs (X, K, H). Buy comfort/nostalgia triple-letter drugs.

5) Sell X-treme anything. Get rid of skateboarding NOW (it's too late for mountain biking, rock climbing, and kayaking). Buy soccer (futbol).

6) Related to #5: sell PowerBar/Power-ade, buy bananas and orange juice.

7) Related to #2: sell all underwear.

8) Get in on the ground floor of emerging tattoo removal & earlobe reattachment technologies.

Remember, not all investments will bring an immediate return. Just fold up the leggings and tuck them away. You'll thank me in 2005.
