Still in the Tall Grass

Eagerly waiting in the tall grass, clamoring for the taste of meat, I find myself lazily lounging, spectating, awaiting a great event. As people pass by, I scowl and snarl, calling them names, whilst monitoring the winds for change.

Being a reformed greed-monster, purveyor of chinese burritos, gambler of the first order, captain of crack (spreads), I spectate the ham and eggers mixing it up. Knowing the feeling of unchecked rapacity, I wait for them to err, so that I can go in for the kill, biting their heads off with savage aggression.

    I would do that too, if I were 95% cash. However, being 20% short via SDS, is much like having captured prey in paw and having no teeth to chew.

    The clam has sent out teams of Lawnmower Men to cut the grass. The lion is exposed and will not be allowed to hunt.

    Republicans like Beck and Limbaugh and the Teabaggers are having a Shit Hemorrhage as the Obama Bull Market relentlessly continues.

    As a West Coast politician once said, “have
    they conseederd suu-eeyside?”

      Obama bull market? By that you mean Obama being pulled by the bulls?

      Keynes is dead, his legacy carried through by administrations of the last 20 years is retarding real future growth. Obama has as much control of this market as Bush had in the post dotcom bull market

        What “post dot com bull market”? Stocks DROPPED 44% under Moron Bush. They have DOUBLED under Obama.

          From mid 2002-2008 : DJIA 7500 to 14000

          What did Obama do that caused the market to double?

          I take it you must be in a nice private college or a long-time resident of Berkley, CA with such a perverse view of economics.

            Ummm, Bush took over in January 2001 and left in January 2009. Revert back with DJIA levels from those dates.

            No shit. You’re missing my point. I’m saying that no president controls the market.
