Mixing Politics and Investment Strategy…Sound advice?

This might be insider information but I have it from a knowledgeable source… the Seniors at Big Boy, “Bull Pucky” is on the rise.

The cartoon idea came from one of those tongue-in-cheek conversations about maybe it was best to supplement your Social Security by putting your money in Casino slot machines.  Not the companies that make them… a “direct deposit” so-to speak.  It seems a safer bet than trusting Wall Street these days.

Once someone brought up trust, the topic pivoted to politics and “who do you trust?”…. Nobody, was pretty much the consensus opinion.  The natural progression of thought then turned to what politicians were saying.  We pretty much agreed they said whatever they thought the voters wanted to hear… regardless of how stupid it seemed or out of touch with reality.   A cartoon idea was born.

It seems like a really bad idea to base your future on what politicians say….  What do YOU think?  Is “Bull Pucky” likely to rise between now and the next election?  Come to think of it… Maybe a good back-up strategy would be to buy waders.  You might need them to get to the polls.
