Mnemonic

You're stuck in a tree after using the evacuation slide to jump out of your jet — a stunt you pulled after hearing your stocks and shares had taken a dive in the market.

Hints

Imagine lying battered and bruised in the upper boughs of this tree and thinking about all your worthless stocks and shares. Hopefully you had fun jumping out of your private jet, 'cause you can't afford to ride in it anymore.

Mnemonic

Your stocks and shares fell so hard that they probably went "KABOOM (かぶ)!" when they hit rock bottom.

Hints

Imagine watching a real-time graph of your stock portfolio as its value plummets. The line dives toward the x-axis, and then… KABOOM! Not a cent of value left. Oh well… At least you had fun shouting "KABOOM" as your stocks crashed.
