The Underpants Gnome Theory of Investing

I was reminded of one of my favorite South Park episodes ever, called " Gnomes (Underpants Gnomes)" today, while reading Boing Boing.

I've found that the gnomes' three-phase business plan:
(1) Steal Underpants
(2) ....
(3) Profit!
..is used quite a bit by companies. Here's a financial article on the Underpants Gnome Theory of Financial Investing which is basically this...make sure that the companies you invest in actually have a phase 2 strategy for turning an idea into profit!

If you are interested in investing, I also have to recommend my favorite show to run to...Mad Money. Jim Cramer cracks me up, keeps me interested in financials, AND makes me run faster!
