So, there is this commercial running on TV. I’m sure many of you have seen it, the one where a girl comes running up to her dad and asks for $80. The daughter explains that she just has to have this pair of jeans that EVERYONE is wearing, so dad quickly buys some stock in the company making the jeans and then hands his daughter $80.

Am I crazy or is Mr. Ameritrade not the most savvy of investors? Investing on a tip from your teenage daughter? Pl-ezese…

Let me break it down for you pops…

1. When Ameritrade Daughter says EVERYONE has a pair she really means just three other people do.
2. Things, especially for the teen crowd, go in and out of popularity faster then… well you can insert your own favorite euphemism here. I was going to go with jackrabbit, but that really doesn’t give you the trust of my argument.
3. DO invest in modeling and acting lessons for Ameritrade Daughter, she’s cute, and could easily land the role of say, a teenage daughter asking her dad for money, because she just has to have this pair jeans…
