Sorry to bother you sir , but I have some bad news .   What is it ?   Well , the stock market just took a huge plunge and we ’ Ve lost a lot of money !   What do you mean ? What happened ?   There are many factors that weigh in , but NASDAQ is down 200 points , the DOW JONES indicator also suffered ! Our portfolio is worth half of what it was worth points week ago .   How is this possible ? You are supposed to be talking to our stockbrokers and making sure that our securities and investments are safe and making a profitable return !
