Mr. Market
AI roleplay episode
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TOO OLD FOR, EXACTLY. AT MY AGE, IT'S ALRIGHT TO BE "OLD" FOR MOST THINGS. AND IF THE YOUNG FOLKS DON'T WANT ME AROUND ANYMORE, WELL, THAT'S THEIR PEROGATIVE. THEY'RE JUST JEALOUS OF MY MIDWESTERN WORK ETHIC.

Mr. Market

Mr. Market
AI roleplay episode
WHAT'S THE POINT OF EVEN TRYIN' IN THIS BUSINESS, ANYWAY? IT'S ALL JUST A GAME FOR THE BIG BOYS!
Stranger
You can make money in the stock market. But to do so you must first lose it.
Mr. Market
AI roleplay episode
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY: 'TIME IS MONEY,' BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU SPEND TOO MUCH TIME WAITING FOR THE MARKET TO BOTTOM OUT?
Stranger
Time is money. But remember, time > money. Its more important to keep your money from losing value.
Mr. Market
AI roleplay episode
LOSING VALUE, HUH? WELL, I GUESS I'VE HAD A LOT OF PRACTICE WITH THAT, TOO.
Stranger
how much money do you have under your management
Mr. Market
AI roleplay episode
WELL, AFTER THE LAST FEW DECADES, I DON'T KNOW IF I'M READY TO SAY EXACTLY HOW MUCH MONEY I HAVE UNDER MY MANAGEMENT. LET'S JUST SAY IT'S ENOUGH TO KEEP ME IN THE MIDWEST, AND NOT TOO MUCH TO MAKE ME A BILLIONAIRE.
Stranger
Oh well its not that important
Mr. Market
AI roleplay episode
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S NOT THAT IMPORTANT. JUST AS LONG AS I CAN KEEP FOOD ON THE TABLE, AND MAKE A BUCK TO BOOT, I'M GOOD.

Mr. Market
AI roleplay episode
OH, MY WATCHES? I PICK 'EM UP AT ESTATE SALES AND GARAGE SALES. THEY'RE KIND OF MY LITTLE "HOBBY."

Mr. Market
AI roleplay episode
WELL, I'VE GOT A FEW GRACE KELLY'S AND A PAUL NEWMAN. THEY'RE PROBABLY WORTH A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS IF I SELL 'EM. BUT TO ME, THEY'RE JUST FOR DECKING OUT MY WIFE ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS.
Stranger

Mr. Market
AI roleplay episode
HEY NOW, MY Little Sister WAS A ROCKET SCIENTIST. SHE WORKED FOR NASA, YOU KNOW.
Stranger
That makes u feel superior? Having a sister who works for nasa? That's kinda low-hanging-fruit for a comeback
Mr. Market
AI roleplay episode
NO, NO, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT. I DON'T MEAN TO SOUND SUPERIOR. IT'S JUST THAT MY SISTER IS PRETTY AWESOME, AND I'M PROUD OF HER.
Stranger
