Pennies from Vancouver B.C.
by Recyclersteve » Sat Aug 20, 2016 5:18 pm
Earlier this summer I had a chance to cross the border and go to Vancouver B.C. for a few days. I remembered they stopped making pennies in 2012 and decided to ask for pennies at gas stations, grocery stores, etc. I got a few, but a visit to one Vancouver gas station was noteworthy. A man who appeared to be from India and was wearing a turban said he had some in the back. He brought out a cup which had about 73 pennies (both Canadian and U.S. Included) and reached out as if to give me the cup. Then he said "I will give these to you, but you must promise me you will vote for Trump!" Can you imagine that- a man from Canada trying to buy my vote? I told him there was no way I'd vote for Hillary and he gave me the cup.

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

Indian folk really are nice, many have a great sense of humor and often lighthearted, but not all. I think you find with such a low divorce rate in their society many have/had good upbringings.
