Did you know we kitties are good at the stock market? It is true! There was even a study that proved it. It turns out that we cats are better at picking stocks than so-called financial experts!
The study claims the cat was picking stocks randomly, which only shows how clueless researching humans are. We kitties actually give a lot of thought about which stocks to pick! The researchers just did not understand the cat’s highly scientific methods.
Binga and I have very different approaches to trading stocks. I don’t like her ideas much. She likes high flying stocks, but she spends too much time chasing them after they have already peaked. I prefer buying high-volume ETFs in sectors that are currently in favor, then selling them when the momentum starts to flag and other sectors rise in popularity. Yes, it is a conservative approach, but I like to keep my cat food money.
Too bad my human does not listen to me. Look at this stock, Oracle (ORCL). She heard it was good, so she bought it. But she lost it when she did something called a “covered call” and it got called away! I could have told her she needed to be more careful selling calls against tech stocks. She made a few dollars, but nothing like what she could have if she had just held onto the stock without messing with it.
I would hire myself out as a financial advisor, but apparently they don’t give licenses to kitties, which is a sorry oversight, if you ask me.

Ohh, you sounds like quite an expert Sparkle! 😉
pffft! Who needs a license when you’re a Cat? Stupid Humans. But we repeat ourselves.
Sparkle, you and Charlie Rascal are right on the money about humans. My broker could learn a thing or two from feline financial analysts.
Wow, Sparkle. If I ever get some extra pennies, and you can predict penny stock, please notify us!
P.S. Green papers are very scarce, but I have a jar of pennies.
What are we cat´s NOT better on than humans ??!!
I definitely need to hire you. My portfolio is in need of your help these days.
Wow! Me had to ask Mommy what yous said and she did not has a clue either. Me thinks its good we has no green papers.

All that stuff is foreign to me and even more foreign to TW. We’ll never get rich since she relies on the lottery. MOL
*wide eyed look* Mowzers, Sparkle. Our dad agrees with you on ETFs by the way. Mom OTOH just dived into GOOG and AMZN. *shakes head* Tech stocks. We hope she knows what she’s doing!
Bummer that you couldn’t get a license Sparkle. You’d have a client in our mom too 🙂
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, Hollie
We’d hire you Sparkle! We’d love to have consistent money to make sure we have consistent treats!
we leave the stocks to the humans 🙂 as long as our food stock is never empty.
We would hire you Sparkle, but we will leave the food stock to mum.
We know…we know Sparkle. If only they would listen to us.
Sparkle, It’s a good job you are financially savvy! Your human would be advised to listen to you! I get my stock from the supermarket!! 😉
You are brilliant and beautiful, girls!!…BTW, also LOVED the Wordless Wednesday post yesterday= so adorable!!…Happy Thursday, sweet friends…xoxo…Calle, Halle, Sukki
dad says he needs you to look at his stocks because he needs them to go up.. Hugs GJ xx
Great instincts Sparkle!
The only stock we have is fencing……Mom isn’t even lucky with the scratch off lottery!=^Y^=
As an ex-financial analyst, #1 says she would trust a kitty over an “expert” any day of the week, Sparkle!
Purrs.

Sparkle, your instincts are good. Our crystal ball says investments in the pet industry look bullish.
My human says she wants to hire you.
Me? Well, she had me choose the lottery numbers once and she didn’t win anything, so she thinks I’m better at napping. Hmpf.

Hey Sparkle….too funny Mom says we own stock in Fancy Feast and Tidy Cat Litter
could you check them for me?
hugs madi your bfff
Actually the company that owns Tidy Cat and Fancy Feast, Purina is not a publicly traded company… but its parent company, Nestlé (NSRGY) is! It is an international company and pays a dividend once a year. If you had bought NSRGY in May of last year, you would be up over $12 per share today! Of course, this has no bearing on how it will do in the future.
Well of course we’re better at this. MomKatt saw that piece too. And I agree with William: we don’t need no stinkin’ license! MOL
Bonks,
Selina
License? We don’t need no stinkin’ license!
Spakle…send us some advice via pee mail…no one will know that you’re not licensed then. xoxox
With 7 of us here I am starting to think we need stock in cat food and litter companies!
We should hire you!! Maybe we could double our treat $$$!

The only stocks we care about are our food stocks – we make sure Mum keeps them safe.

Our mom thinks we are pretty lucky and wants us to buy lottery tickets for her. As for stocks…well, we’ll leave that stuff for the humans, though you’re right, Sparkle, we’d be pretty good at that too.
Sparkle, those are way too many big words for us.We don’t do stocks. We would lose what little we have. But glad you know what you are doing. Let us know when you make your first big bunch of money. Take care.
Our mommy always regrets not listening to us … Purrsonally, we deal only in chicken, turkey, & fish stocks!
We would hire you!
Kittehz make great weather forecasters, too. Much better than the idiot we have! HaHaMeow! Happy Thursday Sparkle!
Stock ? Your stock looks so different from mine !
I only do chicken stock ..tee..heh
