His broker wanted him to speculate in the stock market.
His father told him to get a job before speculating in anything.

Each week, over at the blog Grandma's Goulash, Grandma chooses a photo and her daughter Calico chooses a word of the week before she ever sees the photo.
Then writer-bloggers are given a choice:
1. Write a short story of no more than140 words about the photo
2. Write a short-short story about it, using no more than 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation.
3. Use the word of the week if possible, but there's no penalty if you can't.

Above is my submission of 120 characters, including spaces, punctuation and the word of the week, to this week's SUCCINCTLY YOURS!

Very clever. I would speculate that you have done this before!
Solution : Son has to become a broker !
That's good advice there.
Good advice in 120 characters. Well done.
Nice one, Kay! Only speculate if you can afford to lose.
What a great prompt! I love the idea. I love your snoring photo, in my case it's the cat and hubby!
You shadow shot is super, and camera critter: never thought of a statue! how cool!
Still ice fishing around here, and we lose a couple of vehicles each weekend! Not all that cold for us for February. Silly folks on the ice.
PERFECT!! This is a great exercise! Really keeps you thinking. Have a great day!
Oh yes, kay, a job for sure.
Kids mustn't be speculating on the market with Dad's money.

Maybe the footsteps your $chemer follows in should belong to someone Biblical. Rumor has it, the most successful investor was Noah. He floated stock, while everything around him went into liquidation.
(Grrrroan!)
LOL Good advice!
Wise advice from dad. Thanks for the chuckle, Kay.
Dad offers sound advice, probably because if the kid is broke and not already looking for work, then he's perhaps mooching off Dad, who wants to make sure his vacation fund stays intact. LOL
