Chris: No. why? What’s up?
Susan: The store market has dropped again.
Chris: Oh, no! Not again! How many points did it lose this time?
Susan: One hundred.
Chris: Let’s see…that’s a drop of three percent. Well, there goes the money I was going to use to buy a new car.
Susan: Before you get upset, I think you should look at the stock listings for today.
Chris: What for?
Susan: Well, some stocks actually gained, especially telecom stocks.
Chris: Let me see that paper. You’re right! My stock went up five percent overnight! That’s great!
Susan: For now, anyway. It may plunge tomorrow.
Chris: you’re right. I’m going to call my broker cash in my stocks. I’m not taking any more changes with my savings.
Susan: You’re wisher than most people I know. Sometimes it’s better to play it safe.
