Horatio's lucky penny page 8 by ric gustafson
Horatio was sitting at a small table in his study. He was eating breakfast and watching the morning stock market report. He wanted to see how his Johnson Financial Group stock was doing. As he ate, he noticed that his stock price was already going down.
He dialed his stock advisor on his cell phone. " Mark, what's going on?".
" Horatio, there is a huge rumor of a major shakeup as far as Johnson Financial Group". His advisor replied in a tired voice. " I will keep you informed as the day goes on".
As the day went on, the stock price for Johnson Financial Group went lower and lower.
Horatio's cell phone rang.
" Horatio, this is Mark". The voice was frantic. " You need to sell some of your stock before it is too late".
Horatio looked at the plaque. " My lucky penny tells me not to sell".
" Horatio, all of your portfolio is in one stock". Mark sighed. " You will lose everything".
Later, Horatio's cell phone rang.
" I'm sorry Horatio". Mark sighed again. " You lost everything".
In disgust, Horatio threw the cell phone and smashed it.
He put the plaque in a storeroom and forgot about it.
December of that year, Horatio watched as someone from Dominick's put some food containers into their green dumpster. A cold and hungry Horatio took them back home.
