AVOID THE SAVAGE AT ALL COSTS

So many people love to visit cesspools around the world, in order to “take in” the depravity of a savage populous. Raise your hands if you’ve ever visited Thailand, Africa or any country east of Germany?

Precisely.

Whether you know it or not, you visited these indigenous countries in order to see how the savage comports himself. You visited his towns and devoured his disgusting food. Your mind tricked you into believing that you were enjoying your stay, when in fact, deep down, you were wholly disgusted by the ordeal.

The same goes with the stock market. If you’ve ever invested overseas, not including the civilized countries of England, France and Germany, I am sure you can recall a moment that you’ve questioned your own sanity for being long an inferior civilization. One should not trust the stocks of an inferior people’s. Sure, when times are good, their novelty is interesting and somewhat entertaining. But when times are bad, like now, they will bite your face off–cannibals running through the jungles naked with scary masks atop their heads.

Regional banks like SBNY and BOFI interest me here, as well as my top pick AMCX. I am not enthused by today’s rally. It has a certain tenuous feel to it that makes me uneasy.

    The chicken satay sticks off the streets of Bangkok (no homo) a few doors down from Nana plaza were awesome… Until we did a guided tour of the local “market” walking thru rows and rows of meat in buckets, on tables, flies everywhere. It was like Saddam Hussein’s torture chamber only bloodier. Travel tip for the savage tourist- the JW Marriott doesn’t charge extra for a “friend” to stay the night.

    Maybe you can retain this guy to do your cock and balls charts. He paints with his penis, among other parts.

      The financial markets in the US are a haven for knaves and mountebanks; truly a cesspool. The pretense at being an honest place for citizens to buy and sell securities was abandoned decades ago.

      We are all east of Germany.

    How is “Africa”, “east” of Germany Fly?

    And, tell them, Africa is not a “country”.
