American stock exchange is having trouble lately but that doesn’t stop people from being humorous with the huge sell-off. This time it was a comment left at a Yahoo article about declined IPOs due to the current instability of the markets. It appears that only one company has gone public in August, compared to 8 launched in the last week of July. This fact proves the lack of investors’ trust nowadays probably waiting the dust to settle down. Still, dramatic financial events have often become an inspiration for conversations leading more often than not to people having a laugh of the situation. Here’s the comment that might put a smile on your face, even if you hold some stocks in today’s volatile market.
