BLUE PLACIDOLA
Your compete MICRO*scope for today

You are the type of person who enjoys smelling roses, walking through parks, watching the sunset, and all sorts of other nonchalant stuff. Family and friends frequently finish your stories, almost as if they had heard them before. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time waiting for visits from door-to-door solicitors hoping to buy either a how-to book on surfing the Internet or a computer that can play music and burn CDs. Be on the lookout for crowded shopping malls. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter A, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 836853. Your preferred shopping venue is department stores. Your special symbol is the at sign (@).


Is this You?

As a Blue Placidola, you are easy-going and even-tempered, calm and composed. For you, the hectic pace of a crowded shopping mall during the holiday rush is nothing, it's little more than a tranquil stroll in the park. Life is good. Life goes on. Why worry. You are a happy shopper and you seldom fret over trivial details of a market exchange, in part because you are astute enough to get moderately low prices and relatively good deals.


This isn't me! What am I?

The Business About INVESTMENT

I had fun that last time we wandered into Shady Valley's very own Happy-Time Gala-World Fun-Land Amusement Park, didn't you? Let's stroll through it again, just to see what adventures we might find. Okay, I admit to an ulterior motive. The Happy-Time Gala-World Fun-Land Amusement Park recently added a new ride -- the Cap'n Space Fright Whirl. If you thought the Monster Loop Death Plunge roller coaster was exciting, then you're in for a real treat with this one. My interest in the Cap'n Space Fright Whirl, however, is NOT from the standpoint of risking a recently eaten meal. On the contrary, I'm going to don my pointy-headed economist disguise and check out this mass of twisted metal and high-flying cages as a prime example of capital. In the process we might be able to gain some insight into the whys and wherefors of the thing we call investment.
