Haiku for Investors

[OldAIMGuy]

January, 2006.........

The first five days of
two thousand and six were great.
Hope it continues!

February, 2006

Bruises on my head
from bumping on the market's
potential ceiling.

March, 2006.....

Following the Bull
can lead to accidental
soiling of the shoes!

When the Bull craps out,
Sudden loss investors bear,
Yet AIMers will smile.

Small ups and small downs,
Doldrums of uncertainty,
Hold time seems endless.

The strength of cash shows
when markets are top heavy.
Interest at low risk.

Well said, "cash is king"!
For dividends, praises sing!
As we bide our time...

Morphing in its form
my portfolio shape-shifts
toward "Conservative."

It seemed a good thing
to buy lots more shares quickly
until cash ran out!

Cash runs out, feel gloom,
Buy-and-holder's sense of doom,
Toy of market's whim!

A rollercoaster
goes up and down. Riders scream
with much excitement.

Scream in frustration!
Market's no rollercoaster,
Quiet carousel.

Discovery brings
excitement and pressure to
spend our money now.
