All About Morons

    According to Wikipedia, the term "moron" was coined in 1910 by psychologist Henry H. Goddard, from the Ancient Greek word "moros" which means "dull".

     Since "oxy" means sharp, an oxymoron, a contradiction in terms, literally translates as "sharp-dull". MFM would never have suspected a linguistic link between moron and oxymoron, but there it is.

    So what makes MFM a moron?  Well, he has never studied business or accounting. He doesn't know how to read a balance sheet. He has no idea how to accurately value a business. He is unable to forecast the direction of the financial markets, of interest rates, or of the economy in general. He simply has no idea. There seem to be too many variables, so he is just confused.

    Like our old friend the Scarecrow he remembers that "People without brains do an awful lot of  talking."


                                        



    On a positive note, as a moron, MFM is considered to be one degree more intelligent than an Imbecile and two degrees more intelligent than an Idiot. So at least  he's smarter tha all the imbeciles and idiots out there, and there sure are a lot of them.
