Buy stock in guillotine companies.

You short-sighted investors are piling in on guillotines, meanwhile I've been snatching up shares in pitchfork and torch companies with strong fundamentals for pennies on the dollar.

[-] TheDeepState@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I’d think that you’d make more on the guillotines. The margins should be higher. No profits on torches.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago

The profit on torches is the rebuy for more. You don't need to sink a lot in material, it just has to burn bright enough to sell.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Exactly, the guillotine is a durable/capital good. Yeah, you make more on one, but how many are you going to sell relative to torches and pitchforks?

[-] oo1@lemmings.world 5 points 22 hours ago

My guillotines have DRM, non user serviceable parts and a mandatory service contract - cough - I mean you get free IoT and smartphone integration.

If you sharpen it youself, warranty is void.

[-] TheDeepState@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I don’t know. I mean you can reuse a torch or you can make your own.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago

In this throwaway, instant satisfaction society? It's all about the price point. And the marketing.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

That seems counterproductive.

Guillotine demand goes up, guillotine production company stocks go up, guillotine production owners become rich, guillotine production millionaires felled by their own designs.

[-] oo1@lemmings.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Hmmn, maybe petardes would be a better choice.

I'll start a mobile sharpening business. Sell shovels to prospectors and all that.
