The jokes on me

There’s a financial advisor who constantly advertises on the local radio and television:

If you lost money in 2008 when the financial and real estate markets collapsed, you need to protect your assets so you don’t lose money when the market corrects.

He’s been using the same messaging for years.

I get it.

He’s all about protecting your assets.

Help me out here.

The stock market is down 20% and he’s telling me to call him so he can protect my assets.

Didn’t that horse already leave the barn?

Is he telling me to buy high and sell low?

You know I’m always harping about timing.

Are you still trying to sell COVID masks?

I saw a television commercial the other day promoting their new and improved mask.

I’m sure the 800 number is NOT ringing off the hook, but you know what?

I wrote this before I tested positive for COVID so the joke’s on me!

Anyone have a spare mask you can lend me?

Speaking of timing…

There’s a lot of buzz about digital marketing not working as well as it did a few years ago.
