Friday Fun Video: E*Trade Monkey Commercial

I really liked this commercial from E*Trade. It’s amusing, and it asks a very important question at the end:
What are you doing with your money?
Happy Friday!

Friday Fun Video: Get a Free House — When You Buy One at Regular Price

In California, one of the hardest-hit areas of the housing market crisis, one builder has a promotion that has been working for decades: Buy one, get one free.
That’s right. If you buy one expensive house, you can get a less expensive house for free.

Friday Fun Video: What Happened to the Hedge Funds?

This is a great little ditty about hedge funds. Thoroughly enjoyed it, although I don’t normally hold with country music.
Happy Friday!

Friday Fun Video: What Happened to Wall Street?

I enjoyed, immensely, this video parody of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” It looks at the Wall Street problems that — up until April signaled an overall stock rally — have been causing real stress for investors.
Happy Friday!

Friday Fun Video: How Things Work in a Free Market Economy

SO, I couldn’t resist using this 1939 video on the free market economy. Great stuff. Do you want a widget? Just go buy one!

Is this better or worse than our current system of socialized capitalism?
Happy Friday!

Friday Fun Video: In Honor of “When I Grow Up…”

What do you want to be when you grow up? I thought I’d post this Monster.com commercial in honor of the fact that next Thursday (the 24) is Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work day.
Happy Friday!

Friday Fun Video: AmeriQuest Mortgage

This is another one of those AmeriQuest Mortgage videos that I like so much. It’s part of the “Don’t judge too quickly” campaign. Good stuff. Have a great weekend!
