Off to a Good Start

With the dissolution of the ECB and OPEC, I am expecting a full liquidation to take place inside of the Russian stock market, if that’s what they’re still calling it. The phantom oil sheiks from the middled east prefer lower crude prices because their minds are diseased. They fancy themselves to be William Wallace, with sharpened sticks on the ground, preparing for the right moment to raise them and stop the onslaught of the English Heavy Horses–racing to  smash apart their heads with their stupid horse shoes.

But the reality is, in ten centuries no army has won without a heavy calvary.

The rout in oil, although a boon for the lower class welfare guy playing lotto at his corner bodega, is a ruinous cancer for global growth. All of you, each and every one of you, will regret the moment you applauded deflation, sometime in the not-so-distant future.

You know, it’s almost worthwhile to unmask myself, just so that I could throw furniture at the clam-fuckers at CNBC for proposing we raise rates immediately. It’s as if these creatures were sent from the blue lagoon to feed us bad information and horrible advice. Mind you, if the Federal Reserve were to raise rates now, western finance as we know it would cease to exist in 3 months time.

The lot of you would perish at the hands of arsonists and you’d be tossed into shallow graves to become fertilizer, which is rather ironic since you’re all worth shit right now.

As for me, I’ll be hiding out in my lair, whose entry way is none other than a 10,000 year old sarcophagus, eagerly awaiting to buy more hamburger stock (Extra HABT).

      -1.2 % is hardly crushed and the trade was getting crowded . Utilities can’t decide if they want to be treasuries or not

    Since we’re being honest.. I drive a rental and my mom makes most meals. Why get a bed and a couch when you can slouch on a futon? If you strip search the mall for the bargain to beat… holler!

    Economy will blast off with these low oil prices, all over the world where people use oil. Dumbfurkers selling now. Relax and enjoy it. Selling now due to reallocation of all kinds of accounts for new year. All that money comes back into the market, and more.

    If we are really looking at a disinflationary event it will play out over many years. The possibility is there but…No need to hurry into this trade, unless, of course, you possess the visionary wherewithal of the Great and Powerful Fly.

    I was on the West Coast last week. On my way from San Diego to San Francisco I failed to find a parking spot at any of the three In/Out Burgers I visited. I was told the Drive Through had a ten-minute wait. It was like Wal-Mart on Black Friday. Never seen anything like it. The crowds at Shake Shack are equally enthusiastic and ridiculous. Unless HABT has the same crazed customer base it will end in tears.

      You just wait in the line, get your food, drive off a block or two to park and eat it.

        Finally tried a Double Double at Fisherman’s Wharf. Maybe a half-notch up from Big Mac. Doesn’t compare to meat quality of Shake Shack. But can’t beat the price.

      FWIW, as a local, In-n-Out is singular in this regard. These is no “line” (ever) at Habit.

      In-N-Out is line all day, fifty cars in the drivethru ahead of you.

      Too bad those Christians will never sell.

        should add, it’s not like there a line at Chipotle either, so it doesn’t preclude Habit being successful, just saying as a metric the comps wouldn’t fit on the same graph.

          Huge abundance of Mexican food down south, bet that is a factor in my observation.

    The hype over Shack Shack must be a East coast thing. Kind of like Dunkin. Who the fuck still eats donuts? Habit’s menu is 30% less than Shake Shack. In and Out is 50% less than Shake Shack. Comparing the three without price consideration is retarded. Apparently the East Coast still eat hot dogs as well, wtf?

      In fact, if “Dunkin” were to create a “Donut Dog” … it would prolly be HUGE !

        We have donut eaters in California. They are called Mexicans. Hot dogs are meant for a cheap bbq with unwanted relatives and the family toddlers. We do not buy them in establishments of any kind.

            Relax Alf. I live in California and believe it or not the Mexican Donut shop is where it is at. They have replaced most old school donuts shops of the past. Calling the racism card every time you feel like it? Look in the mirror pal.

    Someone needs to give the Ibankcoin army a true assessment. Being in the HABT trade makes one need to know. Will the East Coast embrace the Cali version?
