GET INSIDE OF THE TEEVEE

Let’s stop playing games here, shall we? The whole parlour trick thing is cute for a while: you feigning to be the most incompetent traders on the face of the earth and me pretending to give a fuck. What do you see this morning, aside from a little redness in the futures?

That’s right boys and girls, you see NFLX is up. If you recall, I predicted NFLX would double in 2015. Why is NFLX going higher?

Answer: the same reason why AMCX and GTN are going higher–boredom.

We are in the golden era of television. “A” list actors are clamoring to get a piece of teevee–because that’s where the action is. Companies like AMZN, AMCX, GTN and NFLX, are killing it as ad and subscription numbers balloon. We’re all bored, trying to find some sort of fucking meaning to our fleeting lives. Some of us get to attack countries for a living, and others get to toil away in a fucking office, trading stocks, blogging about penis decapitations.

It’s the reason why you come here, to visit a dark, sinister, yet benevolent and just man, talk about stocks and the trivialities of his life.

At the end of the day, we all want to be entertained.

    No truer words were spoken “dark, sinister, yet benevolent and just man, talk about stocks and the trivialities of his life” – That pretty much sums it up for all of us – We visit you for authenticity! The market really has none. Market analysts are either selling disaster or splendor – not much in between.

        Rick Ross is a boss, and a former prison security guard or something.

            Still, probably the only recent rapper I really like. I like the real gangster dirty stuff like Master P and all the other dirty south, early naughts filthy gangster rap. Good stuff.

    The devil came here yesterday, and it smells of sulfur still today, this table that I am now standing in front of. Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, from this rostrum, Le Fly, the gentleman to whom I refer as the devil, came here, talking as if he owned the world. Le Fly came here to share his nostrums to try to preserve the current pattern of domination, exploitation, and pillage of the peoples of the world. Le Fly and the American empire is doing all it can to consolidate its system of domination. And we cannot allow them to do that. We cannot allow world dictatorship to be consolidated.

    Same reason drug and ‘casual’ fast food are killing it too. To wit, the meaning of life is popping pills while eating a grass(ed) fed hamburger, and washing it down with a shake while watching House of Cards.

    Rick Ross is a parody of rap, which is why I like him. A comical genius.

    We all do want to be entertained, subject to the extent economic realities permit creation of entertainment. Punitive debt service and “bean-counters” can kill any creative environment.
