Stock Code Paintings

One thing I didn't anticipate when I did The Money Series is just how attached people are to certain numbers or what numbers meant to them. I thought The Money Series was about how money related to art. In stockbroking and life I have dealt with a lot of numbers and none of them ever meant much to me. However there are a lot of stock codes that mean a great deal to me. The first share I bought, my first two bagger, my first ten bagger, the one that got away, the one that paid for my first overseas holiday, the one that went belly up, the dogs, etc. If you buy a Stock Code Painting I am willing to publish your short story about why this codes means something to you.

All Stock Code Paintings are one off’s. I will not do the same Stock Code twice unless it is listed on more than one stock exchange. (such as BHP Billition which is listed on the LSE, NYSE and the ASX) The stock exchange from which the stock code was derived will be written on the back of the painting. 

Three or four digit Stock Code Paintings are 12x16x1.5 inches and one or two digit Stock Code Paintings are 12x12x1.5 inches. (other sizes are available) All canvases have been primed and when the painting is finished, they are varnished for protection. Hanging wire and backings have been put on professionally to gallery standards. Artists' quality acrylic is used for all paintings. All Stock Code Paintings are $US 200 each.

Leanne bought BNB because she thinks that Chairman Jim Babcock is an example to other investment bankers that you can make a lot of money and have a social conscience at the same time.

I love these comment by an anonymous buyer. I just jumped on the opportunity to reserve my favourite stock code: EZJ. This is Easyjet, a stock I bought when everybody was dumping it, because I went beyond the hype and looked at their strong fundamentals and business growth potential. Since then, Easyjet has literally paid for the ranch: every year I sell part of my shares to pay down my mortgage. Naturally I'm a frequent flyer with them too, I would never buy stock from a company whose products I wouldn't use myself

The only real story is that I love the hypocrisy surrounding Starbucks in the UK, everyone criticizes it before spending their money there.

When H.R. Fricker ordered the "F" Painting I thought it was because he wanted a single letter painting because in The Money Series the single digit paintings have ended up being astute investments. However it seems that he has a soft spot for a Ford he used to own.

 


 

A few years ago I  had a ford. On the side door I had a big Ford logo sticker and around it I wrote
" fahrender Ort, reisendes Denken"
moving places, travelling, thinking
