"TINA, TARA, TAPAS AND TIARA"
Copyright 2023, Robert M. Barrows

I asked my broker about
TINA, TARA, TAPAS AND TIARA
and my broker said the returns
on some of these investments
could really scare ya!

So I asked him what he
would recommend, and at first
he suggested some index funds
on AMEX, NYSE and OTC.
He also recommended buying some
Gold and Silver and Lithium, too.

Then he said…
"Buy anything you want…
No one really knows
and the market's truly just a crapshoot…

AND…if you want to invest in
something really hot
there's a horse in the third
race at Belmont named
LONGSHOT!"
