Weirdest Wall Street Stuff on Amazon

by Fred Fuld III

Are you looking for a great joke gift for a stock trader friend? Or maybe just a funny gift for your father who likes to invest, and you need to come up with a present for Father’s Day. Then again, you could just be looking for something for yourself to prove what a great trader or investor you are.

If so, there is a great selection of unusual  items on Amazon related to investing and the stock market. Here is an interesting list of the out-of-the-ordinary.

If you made money on GameStop (GME), why not show it off with this attention getting WallStreetBets To the Moon T-Shirt.

 

Wolf of Wall Street Poster

Here’s an unusual one. A framable quote from Jordan Belfort, the Wolf of Wall Street.

 

Miniature ATM

All right, it’s not a real ATM. It’s basically a kid’s piggy bank, but instead of being in the shape of a pig, it is in the shape of a bank vault with keypads and everything. A unique gift for a child.

Stock Market Decision Maker

If you can’t figure out which way the stock market is going, check out this desk paperweight stock market decision maker that might just tell you whether to buy, sell, short, hold, and so on. Makes a great icebreaker for visitors to your office.

 

Are you made of money?

People might think so if they look below your pant cuffs and see socks with money raining down.


Show that You’re the Godfather of Stocks

If your father trades stocks, this might be the perfect Fathers Day gift, a T-shirt that says The Stocksfather.

Thank You AMC Stonk to The Moon Stickers

Here are three stickers for those that made money from  AMC (AMC). Put them on your laptop, your front door, your car, your water bottle, your face, or wherever.

 


Are You a Stock Market Genius?

This Stock Market Genius coffee mug is great for braggarts.

 

What Guy Wouldn’t want a Throw Pillow?

This is a Buy the Fear, Sell the Greed throw pillow, great for punching or throwing if you make a trading mistake.

 

Bull and Bear Bronze Statue with a Twist

You have probably seen several of this statues showing a bull and a bear. This one is a little different. The bull is goring the bear, and look at the bear’s expression.

Hopefully you can find some great unusual, weird, strange, investment related gifts for yourself, family, and friends.

This May Be the World’s Smartest Wallet

First, I own this wallet so I can attest to its quality. The Ekster Parliament wallet has a lot of advantages over the regular old fashioned pressure-on-your-rear-end wallet.

The wallet has a slim design, and of course it has RFID protection. It has a button that ejects your credit cards on a staggered basis for easy access. It can hold between four and ten cars.Ekster Wallet brown

There is also a strap on the card that allows you to store currency; however, you should be aware that if you carry around a lot of cash, the wallet will no longer be slim.

The wallet can be used with the Ekster Tracker Card with GPS and Bluetooth (sold separately), so that if you can’t find your wallet, you can call it with your cellphone, with a choice of ring tones. Your wallet can even call your cellphone, if you can’t find where you put it! Plus, the tracker has a solar charging feature.

A couple of other advantages of the Tracker. You can even set up out-of-range alerts. You can also use the Tracker s a clicker, if you are taking a selfie. You can locate your wallet with Google Home, too.

These wallets come in an assortment of six different colors to choose from and would make a great Father’s Day gift or birthday gift.

The wallet and tracker can be ordered directly from the company at:

Ekster.com

or if you prefer, you can order it through Amazon.

Remember, Father’s Day is June 20.
