  1. scotteh says:

    The key word here is “may”!

  2. iliketurtles says:

    clearly this is a broken fortune.

  3. Saze says:

    These are what the economy is based on

  4. EGG says:

    So this is how the Chinese are planning to take over…

  5. £υηçhþöχ says:

    This fortune brought to you by AIG.

  6. me says:

    really? man, you gut it!

  7. bmerri says:

    Some peeps don’t know about shorting in a down market.

  8. Tinnesa says:

    Fourth!

  9. rhodias says:

    Love the irony…

  10. Skwerlly Bob says:

    IF you run a huge Brokerage house like Merrill Lynch and get a $10,000,000 Bonus for ONLY losing $11 BILLION!

  11. Mookie says:

    The cookie is a lie.

  12. Runolfr says:

    Technically, this IS a good time to buy into the market, since stock prices are down.

    • Admiral Apparent says:

      I keep buying, and the prices keep going down.

    • Skwerlly Bob says:

      If you lose 1/2 of your Portfolio in the “Downturn”, where do you get the money to BUY while awaiting the “inevitable rise”?

      • You've Got Fail says:

        That’s the trick, to have enough in reserve that you can still afford to buy during tough times. I did it for a little while, but can’t afford to buy any more. But when the economy comes back, the stock I bought at these prices will appreciate dramatically; that’s what happened during the last cycle.

        Sadly, too many families overextend their debt and have no reserves to invest during these times. Americans need to learn how to live within means and save.

      • Admiral Apparent says:

        You pay yourself first. Some portion of each paycheck goes into savings. Some portion of savings goes into long-term investment.

    • raelalt says:

      Exactly, and I hope they stay down until around the middle of January. That way I can max out my IRA contribution for `09 and get quite a few shares for my 6G.

  13. yofo says:

    Actually, Who says this is not the time to buy. People got rich(er) buying up cheap stocks after the depression.

  14. Nonny says:

    No no no..you’re supposed to add “in bed” to a fortune. That’s what they really mean.

  15. WormulonthenewCAPTAINOBVIOUS says:

    THIS IS THE LAMEST FAIL EVAR!!!111!one!

  16. royallyfuked says:

    i don’t get it – this isn’t a FAIL.
    it MIGHT be a ticket to success.

    just because the stock market is doing poorly doesn’t mean EVERY stock is going down. You just have to find the right ones.

    OR

    buy stocks now since they plummeted, and then wait for them to go back up in a few years.

    Still, it might be a ticket to success.

  17. MNM says:

    I don’t understand…..i fail at understanding fails…

  18. Petruza says:

    I accidenty the future!

  19. Nerd says:

    i was the first to post on this thread, but i refuse to reveal my real identity theft!

  20. John Jones says:

    LOL, too funny dude. That must have been intended for one of the Big Wigs of Wall Street, The blood suckers getting the billion dollar free handouts for doing such a wonderful job! LMAO!

  21. Joe says:

    Funny if they got that fortune a year ago, but actually not funny now because it’s true. Everyone who knows anything about the stock market knows you sell high and buy low. The market cannot go much lower. Now is the time to buy. You people act like the stock market is going to disintegrate and not exist anymore and any money you put into it will be lost. If you put money in it now you could easily increase your worth 10 fold over the next several years.

    • that_kid says:

      Joe, the thing is. If people have lost alot of shares cheaply because of the depression. Where are they going to get the money to buy more?

      Maybe Rich people will be doing this, but for alot of people it’s too risky because they don’t know when exactly the stockmarket is going to start booming again..

      • Joe says:

        Well if they don’t have any money to invest that doesn’t make it a bad idea, that just means they can’t invest in anything, good or bad. Also, we are not in a depression. At least for now, it is still officially a recession. Also, it is mostly “rich” people who had money in stocks that have “lost” a lot of money. If you’re poor, you’re not doing much worse off than you already were, unless you’re now unemployed because of the situation. At least 90% of the population is still employed, and most Americans, even in a recession, have so much disposable income that they spend on shit they don’t need that if they invested in the market instead they could stand to make a fortune, not to mention actually get us out of this recession in the first place.

        It’s people spending beyond their means and lack of confidence in the market that have us in this mess. It’s attitudes like this, that the whole financial institution is doomed and you’ld have to be an idiot to put money in businesses that is perpetuating this situation. Now is the perfect time to buy buy buy. People would be helping themselves and helping the economy.

  22. Christopher says:

    I would love to see a fortune cookie that says, “You like Chinese food.”

  23. Phaet says:

    Any idea if the person who had that invested anything in the stock market? I wonder how it turned out.

  24. Suma says:

    Acctually its the perfect time to be buying stocks right now.

  25. She says:

    Agreed. That fortune is true for investors now. Wall Street is having a sale!

  26. Spud says:

    some asian guy who typed that up is just laughing his ass off

  27. They never said which stock market.

  28. Artstsym says:

    Pfff! I once got one that said “buy more takeout.”

  29. pootpoot says:

    Wherz da fale?

    • noobaxce says:

      i was wondering that too and i was about to ask but i just figured it out lol.. since anybody can give that kind of advice; the stock market obviously may be your ticket to success and may not be.. so it is a really stupid fortune cookie since it isn’t telling you anything at all

  30. Harsh says:

    In bed.

  31. **Le sigh** says:

    HA!

  32. Ryan says:

    I got this same fortune back in September lol.

  33. Conley says:

    I’m sorry, but this one is completely retarded for a fail at this point in time. Does anyone know what happens when you buy stocks when the market has essentially crashed? They go back up! You know what happens then? You make a lot of money. If people had kept their stocks during the depression, they could be billionaires quite easily. The same thing is happening right now (to a lesser extent, obviously).

  34. Mark says:

    This is not a FAIL… it’s a WIN!

    Stocks are on SALE!

    “A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful.” -Warren Buffet

  35. Kid111 says:

    LOLZ AWESOMEZORZ FAILZ ROCK!!!!!!!!!1

  36. that guy says:

  37. David says:
