10 Things to Do With your Stock Certificates Now that They Will Be Worthless
Советы умного, по всей видимости, товарища с форума:
I am encouraging everyone who still holds GM shares to call your brokers and have them ship out the GM paper certificates which used to represent shares in this once successful company. There are many things you can do with them, so here is my top ten;
10. Wallpaper your bathroom with them. It will give your bathroom a brighter look and everytime you take a dump, you will be reminded to do better research next time before you invest your hard earned money in an speculative company where you can lose it all.
9. Speaking of bathrooms, stock certificates are made out of a certain paper that is cottony soft. You can save big time money on toilet paper and recoup some of your losses at the same time.
8. Practice making paper airplanes with your kids or some neighbors kids if you don't have your own. Why waste loose leaf paper?
7. Save them. And everytime there is a Christmas, birthday or any other kind of party, you can tell a really scary horror story and you will have proof to back it up.
6. Use them to light up your fireplace or barbecue. You can buy the cheaper charcoal and place plenty of the certificates under the charcoal to them going. These stock certificates really burn well and much longer then regular paper. Plus you can save yourself some $$$ on the cheaper charcoal.
5. You probably lost all your money in GM and can't afford to buy a day planner or anything that comes close to one. So now you can use these certificates as a substitute. Just tape a bunch of them together and use the empty side to write notes, set dates for your welfare appointments and other such important thing so you won't forget.
4. Tell your relatives that you have certificates worth a million shares of this BIG company and that you will leave those share to your favorite relative in your Will. Then let the A$$ kissing begin!!! If they need proof, show them the certificates, but not to close, make sure they don't see the companies name on them.
3. Use them next year as Christmas decorations. You probably lost so much money that you won't be able to afford to buy any Christmas toys for the next several years. So hang some on your tree or string some out in front of your house! Go crazy, you'll have plenty left.
2. Sell them individually on Ebay for .001 and charge $14.99 for shipping and Handling. Make all your money back and then some.
1. Stress Relief! Buy a paper shredded, lock yourself in a room, and start shredding them one at a time. Uncensore yourself, scream obscenities as loud as you want. They are YOUR certificates now. You can treat them as you like. I also find it helpful to print out a pic of GM CEO on the other side of the certificate (if your computer and printer were't repossessed yet) and then shred it in slow motion.
