I'm going to put together a video market update. Meantime.......this is a scream. Enjoy both parts:

Slope's Equity Valuation Model Assessment

I'm Full of Spunk!

I've always been amused by the slight differences between British and American English (trunk/boot, gas/petrol, etc.) Here's a handy guide for those of you who are better-traveled than me:

Just to Lighten Things Up

One of the great MST3K shorts of all time...........well worth a piece of your evening:

Revisiting My MLK Post

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of Slope.

Five years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, began shorting the market. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of bears who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

Videos to Bring Back Lots of Memories

Twas the Trading Day Before Christmas

'Twas the last trading day before Christmas, and all through the land,
Everyone was still hoping Europe didn’t get out of hand.
The loans had been readied by the old ECB,
and nations lined up to get money for free.

The bulls were all nestled, all smug in their beds,
while visions of QE3 danced in their heads.
With ma in her kerchief and I in my cap,
we’d had about all we could take of this crap.

Then on CNBC there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the couch to see what was the matter,
Ben Benanke was talking, he was building more bubbles! 
He just didn’t care about any debt troubles.

He said he could print; that the Fed had more tools,
He said, “We’re not breaking, just bending the rules.”
“When there’s crisis,” he said, “The Fed is your man.”
“No it’s not,” I replied, “You’re just kicking the can!”

But he couldn’t hear me, there on the TV,
Even so, I still added, “Ain’t nothing for free.”
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But the eight-hundredth bailout we’ve seen in four years,

Ben sprang to his press, to his team gave a whistle,
And the money flew out like the down of a thistle.
Then I heard him exclaim, as oil started to spike,
“Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night!”

 

I found this poem at Pretzelcharts today (dated Dec 23rd, 2011) and thought I would share it.  He is the author.     http://pretzelcharts.blogspot.com/
