Investing haikus: pearls of wisdom

More

The A-Train finance blog recently posted a set of some pretty impressive financial haikus. Some of them contain wonderful financial wisdom in the 5-7-5 syllable format. Take a look:

Day Trading Is Hard
Ninety Percent Lose Money
Most Try Anyway

Reality Is
What Goes Up Always Comes Down
See: Dot Com Bubble

Compounding Interest
One Of Life's Greatest Forces
Start Young It's Better

Tragically I'm not much of a poet, so I won't try to top this haiku-master. For a wonderful subprime-inspired riff on subprime, check out one trader's Dr. Seuss-inspired Broker Joe! I do not like your CDO.

There's also an interview from Wharton about poetry and its similarities with investment banking. Not quite sure I follow, but hey.
