I buy stock, not during stock clearance

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 3 years ago

Is this person making the point that they have a lot of money by employing this word play with акции?

Nick Uzhovadded a comment 3 years ago

I think yes, the idea is not to save money by buying cheap, but instead to have enough money by investing, so there is no need to bother with day-to-day expenses

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 3 years ago

I think the pun would be lost in English unless it was something like:
A: Let’s go to Walmart they’re having a sale on socks.
B: No thank you I buy stocks, not socks 😝

Agree. There's no room for playing with words here.
This phrase works for Russian language only.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 3 years ago

Then maybe my snippet would work in Russian?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_clearance - не думаю, что это 'акция'.

А вообще, это какой-то идиот просто решил выпендриться - нечего тут голову ломать. В отличие от других товаров, думаю, в продажах акций 'акций' (скидок) не бывает.
