Not to be a cynic of the worst kind, but investments in love stocks eventually always bust. They're non-transferrable. And in the end, the love you take is equal (or less) to the love you make.

On the other hand, savings in a high interest laughter accounts grow expontentially the more times they turnover. Humour through repetition is one of the infallible laws of nature.

Hugh!

So glad to hear from you! No matter what, you get a point here just for quoting the Beatles.

Hugh said what I was thinking, but in a much cooler way.

Laughter all the way... so much more practical.

Unless this is in England, in which case the humor is extremely dry and I'm not sure the laughter would grow exponentially, but it's still way more reliable than love.

Love isn't even a measurable concept! Actually I'm not even sure love exists..... but that is another discussion for another time.

Wow carla, way to be a downer.

I vote savings in a high interest laugher. Well, to be honest, I don't even know what that means. I do know that I love to laugh... wait, so maybe it's investments in love stocks. So actually, all you need is love. I vote love stocks.

BEATLES POINT FOR ME!

My answer is: Love stocks. If you are well capitalized on love, laughter benefits will come along. So why settle for one when, making the right move you can end up having both... at the same cost?

This is a classic risk versus return argument: investing in love stocks is more volatile...savings in a laughter account is more stable from year to year.

But then there is the question of diversification! Love stocks are concentrated in one investment vehicle, whereas Laughter can be diversified across many different people and industries.

I say Laughter savings.

By all means, savings in a laughter account. You can cash them when the love stocks plummet.

I'd just like to say that these were some of the best arguments yet. Well done.

Alex articulated exactly what I was thinking.

The answer: Savings in a laughter account.

Laura, I'm beginning to detect a trend in your feelings on love...
