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.

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 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.
