Morning Poppers (Get Ready for the Santa Claus Rally Edition)

Yesterday I bought some milk/egg free egg nog from Whole Foods and it was delicious. I took a respite from my dairy/meat free diet for Thanksgiving, but I’m firmly back in the saddle now — practically starving myself to death. People ask me all the time, “Fly, why the heck are you a pescatarian/vegan — those people are assholes?”

Precisely. “I’m a team player,” is my typical response to them. In corporate America, if you go against someone who says such a thing, you could and should be fired and it instantly has a pavlovian effect on people, quieting them down — enabling me to move freely throughout the area eschewing disgusting meats and rancid cheeses.

FYI: My new book is being published now. You should be able to purchase it later on today.

The DAX is +1.2% and Santa Claus is coming. I hope you’ve been shopping, wrapping those expensive gifts for your kids, who will idly shove them aside immediately after opening them. It’s a brutal affair, the holiday season — and I am always thrilled to see it end. New Year’s is just about the perfect holiday, all very hedonistic and ritualistic. Get drunk, make a commitment, think aspirational, get more drunk.

WTI is +1.2% and Bitcoin is getting crrrrrushed, off by 11.5% to 14,700.

What if I applied the Exodus algorithms to cryptos? I can do it, you know. Organize all 1,300 ICOs and grade them by their trading patterns. Food for thought.

Nasdaq futs +33.

    I’ve been a vegan over 20 years. I’ve never seen the inside of a hospital except as a visitor.

    Lose the fish too. It’s got a lot of bad stuff in it.

    Since I”m sure a man of your stature has help at home, buy them a few vegan cookbooks. Some of them are awesome.

      ALL people who ate carrots either died or will die; therefore, carrots are deadly and should not be eaten.
