After another eventful year for global financial markets, there is
plenty to look back and laugh about. Here is  list of the most amusing jokes
 of the year..........

Hey, look, I don't want to say the stock market is unstable, but this
morning, the opening bell was rung by Paula Abdul.

A man calls his broker, who tells him that he's got a hot new stock pick.
"Buy it, buy it," the man says.
The next day he calls the broker for an update – the stock is up 5%
"Buy it, but it," the man says.
The next day he calls the broker again, and the stock is up another 5%.
"Buy some more, buy some more," the man says.
He calls the broker again the next day, who tells him the stock is up 10%.
"Sell it, sell it," the man says.
The broker says: "To who?"

An investment counselor decided to go out on her own. She was shrewd
and diligent, so business kept coming in, and pretty soon she realized
that she needed an in-house counsel. The investment banker began to
interview young lawyers.
"As I'm sure you can understand," she started off with one of the
first applicants, "in a business like this, our personal integrity
must be beyond question." She leaned forward. "Mr. Mayberry, are you
an honest lawyer?"
"Honest?" replied the job prospect. "Let me tell you something about
honest. Why, I'm so honest that my father lent me $15,000 for my
education, and I paid back every penny the minute I tried my very
first case."
"Impressive. And what sort of case was that?" asked the investment counselor.
The lawyer squirmed in his seat and admitted, "He sued me for the money."

Toyota has recalled another 1.5 million cars.  The company issued an
apology:  "We're sorry that you haven't heard from us lately.  We hope
that this recall reestablishes Toyota as the undisputed world leader
in defective vehicles and poor management.  Oh,what a feeling!"


380 million eggs have been recalled.  Stupid me; I never even knew
that Toyota had a model called the Egg.

In this economy, it's difficult to find a partner that has a good job.
Things have gotten so bad I've started speeding. That way, when I get
pulled over, at least I know the person I'm flirting with has a job.


"Oh, for the good old days when people would stop Christmas shopping
when they ran out of money."
