We shouldn’t have let Goldie get away from us in a bear market.
Well they say it’s a Bear’s Market…it just makes me want to roar about those Bull’s hours.
Mom, Dad….How do you spell ‘embearassing’?
I don’t know about yours, but mine is a 201k!
Wow, speaking as a bear…I was expecting a lot more.
It looks like Goldilocks sacked everything.
Doesn’ look like a bear market to me.
Mine just says:
” I.O.U. Love, Mom and Dad “
You know what they say about what “bears do in the woods”? I gotta do it right now!
Well, Goldilocks liked my stuff. She ate some, broke some, messed some up, then left rested and well fed.
Remember when a Grim Fairy Tale was spelled with two “M”s?!?
$2 per share? I guess it could be worse…we could be Lehman.
Well, there goes the penthouse.It’s back to our outhouse in the woods.
I can’t bear it anymore, let’s eat the rich!
Well Mom & Pop it looks like our Investment Advisor Goldilocks is telling you guys it will be a long time before you can retire. As for me she put me in an excellent consumable, warm porridge.
Mom and Dad, what’s a 401-K? Is it kinda like the 401 months it took me to pass Kindergarten?
I keep hearing it’s a great market for bears, but this 401 Krap plan looks so bad we may have to live in the woods!
If we can’t afford groceries I say next time we eat the little girl.
So much for that early hibernation you were planning on Dad.
“Well there goes my college fund.Too bad because the University of Cal said I had what it takes to become a mascot.”
Goldisachs has been playing with MY money and now it’s all gone!
Well,we seem to have gone from a bear market, to a bare market!
Maybe I better start renting out my bed and selling my porridge–
I guess all of our 401-k plans were just right, huh Dad?
You know us bears are going to get blamed for this market!
Sorry, Mama, Sorry, Papa, but I did my OWN trading, and mine is JUST right!
“Goldman Sachs? What happened to Goldilocks?”
I see a lot of bull, but not much to make this recession bearable. Does K stand for Kaput?
Is it just me, or does the menu at this place keep getting worse and worse?
So, tell me again, how did Goldilocks get her’s just right…and who’s Ponzi?
Gee Mama, Gee Papa, since all our porridge is gone we should use our bail out claws, shred these worthless reports and eat them.
At least we still have the right to arm bears.
No, Papa, I don’t think it was Goldilocks this time. This looks like the work of her evil cousins, Fannie-locks and Freddie-locks!
“Happily ever after? Happily ever after?!? Who are they kidding?”
“I hate to be the BEARER of bad news, but you know my porridge is gone, and my chair is broke. Now our money is gone, and we are broke.”
“Ma and Pa, we’re going to have to start getting rent from Goldilocks”…
Well, so much for the pot of honey. How about we start eating investment bankers?
“It looks like we’ll never be able to afford anything but porridge”
“Someone has been taking money out of my 401k”, exclaimed Papa Bear…
“Someone has also taken money out of my 401k”, said Mama Bear…
Baby Bear, “I don’t have anymore left in my 401k, my financial advisor said to invest in Greek Companies”
Whaddya mean, “We did this”?!
Good thing we were smart enough to short the market and don’t have to rely on this for our retirement the way the sheep do.
I never dreamed I would be looking forward to Bear Season.
Try as we may to be a really nice bears, they always blame these market downturns on us! What a bunch of bull!
When she talked us into this plan, Goldilocks never told us the K stood for Katastrophe – time to hide the porridge.
