A good friend sent me this whilst we were having a discussion of Telstra shares and whats likely to happen to them.

Here are his Top 5 reasons why someone might go and buy Telstra shares right now:

1) Wanting to hedge against their lotto tickets

2) Compulsive masochistic disorder

3) Alzheimer’s onset

4) Clicked the wrong buttons on COMSEC website

5) Stupid enough to listen to their brokers suggestions without realising they’re double-dipping on the sales margins, once for buying in, then again when you wake up and SELL, SELL, SELL!

In the interests of transparency, both my friend and I must sadly declare that we own Telstra shares….
