On The Down Low at the Roadshow

On The Down Low at the Roadshow

"An analyst had a quick word
With investors his bankers preferred:
"We've cut our projections
For those with connections,
But won't tell the rest of the herd.'"
This poem is a humorous commentary on the state of the economy, and the unrightous and immoral techniques that are used to help investors and bankers profit.  It pokes fun at an analyst who knows that the economy is about to have a bear season, but he tells only his closest banking and investing friends.  This could have been done for a variety of reasons.  However, the one point this poem makes clear is very true: there is greed and dishonesty on the stock market, and it could be one of the reasons that our economy is doing so poorly.
