“INVESTMENT ADVICE”
A financial planner suggested to a wealthy client that he should invest in a circus.
The client expressed great surprise at such an unusual recommendation: "A circus? Why on earth should I buy into a circus?"
The financial planner replied: "Because of the elephants."
The client, puzzled even more, then asked: "The elephants? What is the connection between circus elephants and investments?"
The financial planner asked: "Well, do you know much it costs to feed an elephant?"
The client, slightly annoyed, responded: "No, of course I do not know much it costs to feed an elephant."
The financial planner explained: "Well, neither does the IRS Commissioner."
