Strange Things People Do
I walked into a WaWa convenience store, which was a ritual that I did every morning to get my breakfast for the day.
After paying for my food, this man walks up to me and pulls out a check and hands it to me. I took the check thinking that he was one of my customers from my printing company, but when I looked down at the check it was for $300,000.
I asked him what the check was for, he told me that he wanted me to invest it in anything that I thought would be good.
I asked him why he was giving it to me, I do not give investment advice. He told me that he heard a conversation that I had with a friend at my business. I was telling my friend that I thought that the stock market was ready for a major correction and if I had the time I would buy into some stocks and in a few months short the market.
Apparently he took that advice that he overheard to heart and mortgaged his farm and did exactly what I said and made a fast few hundred thousand dollars in just a couple of months. Now he wanted to know if I had some other ideas that he could make some more money on.
I just stared at him for a couple of minutes. I could not fathom that someone would take what I said and literally bet the farm on it. I then handed him the check back and told him I didn’t have anything at that time to invest in and walked out.
