The Five Dumbest Things on Wall Street Summer Kickoff Quiz

Are you ready for the summer? We here at The Five Dumbest Lab certainly are. 2009 has been anything but relaxing so far, and we sure could use a break from all the dumbness on Wall Street.

But before we jet off to the Hamptons (yeah, right), we leave you with The Five Dumbest Things Summer Kickoff Quiz, recapping the fast and furious last five months. Answering correctly could win you a one-of-a-kind TheStreet.com sweatshirt as well as an autographed copy of Jim Cramer's Mad Money: Watch TV, Get Rich.

Enter by midnight Wednesday, June 3, by emailing your answers here with the words "Contest Entry" in the subject line. We'll rerun the column Friday, June 5, with the answers and the name of the winner. If there is more than one correct entry, we'll have a drawing, of course.

Good luck!
