Stock Markets Exposed

Why are there no country songs about people losing money in the stock market?

Every country song with a sad or depressing theme is always about relationships going bad or losing a lover. If losing money in the stock market is worse than breaking up with a gf/bf, why to this day has no one ever written a song about someone being depressed because they lost money trading?

5. Maybe because country music people realize that, as Porter Wagoner sang: "Money can't buy back your youth when you're old Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold The wealthiest person is a pauper at times Compared to the man with a satisfied mind." Or they know what Eddy Arnold knew in the song "The Richest Man in the World:" "I don't have much bank account, my cash on hand is small But tell me, what are riches but contentment after all? Other folks may think I'm poor but I know it's not so 'Cause when I count my blessings I'm the richest man I know."
