Yes, loved it, but their cartoon characters are new for each project... no past.

Oh, Charles Schwab. That translation took a day and a half...! Those ads are terrible.

But surely the worst investment/traders ads are from Ameritrade:

- Dads spoiled daughter demands designer jeans, Dad buys the designer jeans stock

- Runner finds everyone using the same running shoes, stops mid-race to buy the stock from a borrowed laptop

I think these ads are aimed at day traders, who think they are smarter than the market. But not the really smart traders, because buying stocks on this whim basis would of course be batshit insane.

UT. Sorry about my redneck spelling, I don't do a lot of day trades, or anyother.

The CC showed how far they go to rip off a buck.

That's OK buddy! Spell how you like, you have a long way to go to beat Zippyt at spelling, but as wolf said, it's all good!

He he. I thought we were avoiding using Chuck's name in a vain attempt to keep John 1*3 from spamming us with investment product.
