This was from a friend who has, let's say, some interesting ideas about finance and investment. He is deeply into crypto, whatever that might say about his paradigm, and it's hard to tell from our conversations where he stands politically: he is not MAGA by any means, but shocked me with his not-all-in stance on reproductive freedom. Anyway, let's say we laugh a lot when we infrequently chat over the phone, and both have twisted senses of humor.

Having said that, the following "financial" advice was offered, in all seriousness. I checked that it wasn't a joke. Several times.

"When people ask me how they should invest, I tell them to buy canned salmon."

With mad laughter, I said, "What if I don't like salmon? Tuna? Is tuna good?" but he insisted this is the most solid financial advice he adheres to and recommends. He was Not Joking. Deadly Serious. It left me wondering about meds. I've got nothing. You asked for strange. My head hurts.

re: worst piece of financial advice. Even though this article reads like satire, I'm fairly confident it's not. One of the strangest financial pieces I've ever read, but I did read every word. It's like a train wreck, I could not stop reading it lol.

So maybe this is one of the WEIRDEST financial advice articles I've ever read.
