The Future Has Been Changed

The prospect of a “double dip” recession is entirely off the table, as future news of “A New and Improved Gilded Era” is upon us. Forget about welfare stamps and big stupid blocks of cheese. I am talking about $10,000 cheeseburgers, dressed in 24 karat gold wrappers.

Men of circumstance will walk around Manhattan, dressed like Teutonic Knights, only this time in solid platinum. The price of sugar shall sky rocket, as housewives indulge themselves in the decadency of properly prepared French pastries.

It appears the Europeans will in fact get their act together, effectively leading the way to a most heinous short squeeze, one that the world has never seen before. It will get so egregious, the CEO of BP will be elected new Prime Minister of England, for his splendid handling of the GOM oil spill “situation.” They shall write hard cover history books and scientific journals, outlining the ricochet effects of such extravagant and grander than life events and “eventualities.”

Hedge fund managers will wear tailor made suits, that expose their private anatomy, because they can. And, private equity funds will order the assassination of any uncooperative CEO, because it is their right.

I do not say these things because I am mentally ill, or insane. I say them because they are true. Always remember, the internets never lie.

    I thought Mar 2009 to Apr 2010 was the all-time greatest short squeeze in the historical era of mankind on earth. You mean there is coming upon us a bigger one? What do I do with all those MREs?

      Fat chance fucko. Only the poor will use streets in the future. Environmentally controlled 18-wheelers complete with butcher, deli, relaxing area, and full hospitality staff will be the new towncars.

      I’m thinking of picking up some CAGC in the morn. China CPI for food is insane and they have 40% less arable land per capita than the global average, hence the need to increase yield. The stock has been beaten down bad from its run-off peak and it could possibly touch $20/share if Shanghai rallies.

      You need to check out Skinflints in Brooklyn. Killer burger.
      You don’t feel your arteries clogging like when you eat a 5 Guys burger.
      I missed out this time around, but in June I plan to eat at least two lunches there.

    Jeff saut of raymond james has had a decent write up or 2 lately quoting some historical market stuff… suggesting that we flutter around down here for a few weeks. Long bottoming process.

    GDP?

    You cant fix a bankrupt country by adding more debt to the system. It is exactly the wrong thing to do. not to say they wont do it.

      The politicians would rather run the printing presses than tell people to work harder. You don’t get many votes for trying to get people to work their way out of recession. Leadership is a non-existant commodity.

    If you make somebody’s government paycheck smaller, they will riot and blame the government.
    If you print money, causing inflation, they will shrug and blame the economy.

      Dangit. Didn’t they do that last night too?

      Someone needs to photoshop a picture of Baby Bush giving the thumbs up in a Navy Seal diving suit in front of the BP leak with a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner. That’ll shoot the markets up another 3% pronto.

      Why am I still holding onto VXX and SRS? Hedges. Shrubs. Bush. Somehow this is all connected, I’m sure of it. 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon on my $10, er $16,000 Royale with Cheese, if you please.

    If we don’t get chopped up by Japanese mall barbers in the immediate term we will get a respite to the tune of 5-8% just in time for the due date of the California Budget on June 15.

    A couple of notes from my Brooklyn trip:
    1) Spumoni Gardens Pizza is an interesting concept; pretty tasty pizza. Their ice cream was dreadfully overhyped by my nephews.
    2) Sofia’s (formerly nine other names in the last 15 years) was best when it was Mezzanotte (I think about 10 years ago or so)
    3) The cops are getting real cool about shit; my bro in law made an illegal U-turn right in front of one–nothing done. They’re still letting you double park everywhere.
    4) Still impossible to park anywhere near the kid’s baseball/softball fields.
    5) Bagel Boy still has the best bagels on the map
    6) Looking forward to my next visit in June
    7) My ex-fiancee got more botox; WTF? She’s only 30.

    Let the motherfucking melt up resume.

    I told you that shit last night was a SCAM! And now its like it never happened.

    The more times they can drop this bad boy down to 1050 and empty out folks pockets, they will.

    Until one time, they won’t. They’ll just run it straight back up.

    Best to be well positioned for this last part.
