  Isn’t that Black and Decker (TM)

    The market already tore Sears apart. Black and Decker is a zombie brand that continues in our IP-focused globalized JIT retail wasteland that certainly won't be on shelves "7 weeks from now". (Though maybe your grandmother's Black & Decker still works long past its lifetime guarantee and we'll be fighting to find the last of those.) Also, I believe the above had an additional layer of an economics joke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black%E2%80%93Scholes_model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black%E2%80%93Scholes_model

    The tip fell off my old Black and Decker spear years ago. Shoddy materials. And my (formerly) trusty Black-Scholes model, based on the normal distribution, had to be replaced with a fat-tailed distribution model after the financial meltdown. Shoddy materials.

      I just think of the Indiana Jones scene where the monkey ends up being poisoned.

  As in, go harvest some of that market volatility? Definitely looking on the brighter side of things, hat tip to you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black%E2%80%93Scholes_model?wprov=sfla1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black%E2%80%93Scholes_model?wp...
