CHEERS TO THE HITTERS

Santa Claus, in all of his glorious gluttony, is going to reduce the short sellers into a pack of crying babies, taking to Twitter, complaining over “manipulated markets” and “rigged games.”

SHUT UP, you stupid heathens. Ever since 2008, you jackasses have been talking about crashes and how the Fed was evil– when in fact it is YOU that was evil the whole time–trying to derail the economy and toss people into open pits of fire.

It is YOU, with all of your Tea Party gayness, gold standard fantasies, that threaten my way of life, a life filled with unchecked decadence and hedonistic rituals. Do not hate the market because it is going higher. Instead, dare I say, hate yourselves for being stupid enough to miss it.

Let me explain to you, in the dumbest terms, what you’ve been doing.

Imagine you were playing in a baseball game and was batting with the bases loaded. Now imagine the pitcher lost his mind, and instead of throwing his 100mph heater, he opted, for whatever reason, to lob over some slow-balls to you, right over the plate. A normal hitter wouldn’t overthink the scenario and he’d just swing for the fences, driving in a few runs home in the process. The mental midget would stand there, frozen with fear, and eat three strikes, never testing his abilities to win.

Simply stated: if you haven’t made money since 2008, and especially in 2013, you weren’t trying, frozen at the plate like some sort of stubborn jackass. There isn’t a conspiracy and we’re not on the precipice of grave danger. It’s just a slow-ball and you’re a coward.

Take the bat off your shoulder and swing it. I promise you the results will please you.

SPY futs are +10.

    I bet a certain former iBC blogger is still buying gold, and possibly sitting in a rocking chair rambling on about how terrible this country is.

    Heck i was mostly short for half the year and still will end up double digits….

    My new strategy is to stay long until core inflation heats up.

    I heard a former IBC blogger started packing a silver load double O and now has a lucrative career hunting Werewolf on a new reality series over at A&E

    Indeed. The annihilation of the shitters is final. Zero left standing. As Santa punches the carcasses in the groin with the unimaginable Apple news that no one but the shoeshine boy saw coming in a holiday week. Up we go into and thru the new year, no doubt. At some point we will need actual bears, right? Bulls blowing each other buying into the sky can only go for so long, no?

      A Senor Fly take on a time past where sentiment has been this bullish would be nice. Some of us plebs have never seen it before. Were the nineties like this?

    The markets have been manipulated for the last 100 years. Big Ben could have done EQ and ZIRP anytime in 2007 or 2008. Thats what made the trip to 666 so much fun. They did not start QE early because they wanted some to fail. Lehman, Bear Sterns, etc… They could have done QE anytime!
    Now they want it all up, but there will be a day when they change their minds……
