Ep 6. George's New Stockbroker

George's New Stockbroker follows the Jeffersons as George decides to hire a new stockbroker. The episode starts with George getting a call from his current stockbroker informing him that he's quitting the business and recommending a new stockbroker to take his place. George is hesitant about working with a new stockbroker but is convinced to give it a try by Louise, who convinces him that he needs to find someone who's reliable and will make him money.

George decides to meet with the new stockbroker, a young man named Ray who's just starting in the business. At first, George is skeptical but is impressed with Ray's knowledge of the market and his confidence. Ray gives George some tips on investments and offers to manage his portfolio. George agrees to start working with Ray and is excited about making some new investments.

Meanwhile, Louise is dealing with her own financial problems when she gets a call from a debt collector who's trying to collect on a loan that she co-signed for her niece. Louise is upset that her niece has defaulted on the loan and is now being held responsible for the debt. She confides in Helen, who offers to lend her the money to pay off the debt.

Back at the Jeffersons' apartment, George is excitedly telling Tom and Lionel about his new stockbroker and his investment ideas. Tom and Lionel are skeptical, knowing that George has a history of making bad investment decisions. George insists that Ray is different and that he trusts his judgment.

As George starts investing more money in Ray's recommendations, he becomes more and more obsessed with the market, checking the stock prices constantly and worrying about his investments. Louise notices that George is becoming increasingly stressed and tries to convince him to take a break from investing for a while. George refuses, insisting that he needs to stay on top of the market to make the most money.

Soon enough, George's investment in a new tech company takes a hit, and he loses a significant amount of money. He becomes angry with Ray and blames him for the loss, even though it was George's decision to invest in the company. Louise tries to talk to George about the importance of diversifying his portfolio, but George is too stubborn to listen.

Feeling embarrassed about his losses, George tries to hide the fact from his friends and family. He even goes so far as to dress up in a suit and pretend to go to work every day, even though he's stopped working since he started investing with Ray.

Louise finally confronts George about his obsession with the market, telling him that he needs to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. She reminds him that he has a successful business and a loving family and that he shouldn't let his investments define him.

In the end, George realizes that Louise is right and decides to stop investing with Ray and take a break from the market. He also admits to his friends and family that he lost money in the market and that he needs to be more responsible with his finances. The episode ends with George and Louise agreeing to work together to get their finances back on track and make smarter investment decisions in the future.
