This is so hilarious

There's a dude in the conference room running a brainwashing meeting.

"Mutual funds are like taking a plane to Florida because it's the safest way, controlled by professionals. Personal savings would be like walking... it takes too long. Stocks are like driving your car: You take your eyes off the road for three minutes and it crashes! Does that make sense to everyone? Ok, moving on...

"Let me ask you this: Does anyone here have kids? Do they play sports? Any of them play baseball, soccer? Let's say they're playing catch in the backyard. What happens if the ball goes through the window? You've got to replace it, right? But lets say they only break one pane. You only replace that little part. That's basically an example of diversification-- not putting all your eggs in one basket. Make sense?

"Who here has planned a wedding recently? How long will all the festivities of your wedding last, do you think? ... People will spend more on these couple weeks than they will set aside for retirement. That's scary."

It's amazing. He's still going with this stuff. Everyone is eating this up because they think they can relate to it, when really it's basically the Chewbacca defense. LOL I love listening in on ridiculous business meetings. :-) It's like a Kids in the Hall episode only BETTER.
