Market Order #12

Corn prices are up 17% over the past three days. Carl Icahn is trying to milk the vampires at Blackstone, via taking a DYN stake. And, finally, stocks are going to throw bears into lit fireplaces this morning, as the idea of QE 2 continues to permeate the minds of the deviants on Wall Street.

As an aside, I used to wear “Chinese delivery man” business shirts, that were substantionally smaller than what was needed. They were tight white shirts, short sleeves, donned with polyester stripes. Picture white polyester stripes over white cotton, zero sleeves, and a pencil thin dollar sign tie. Oh, let’s not forget, I once had to borrow Grandpa Fly’s shoes, which were like 5 sizes too small, literally. All of this fine attire was used for my first office gig, when I was a summer intern.

I never worked for Mcdonald’s, like most of you nerds. “The Fly” was conducting business, ever since he was a teenager, albeit dressed like a complete imbecile, replete of any style or cachet.

Fast forward 20 years and I play Chinese lotto at work. There is a certain poetic irony to my life, which, coincidentally, is still better than yours.

I am all about “Gretzky House” living.
In closing, let the games begin!

      Loafers. He was 5’3, short, stocky, Italian. I towered over him since I was 14. However, I did indeed once borrow his shoes, much to my chagrin.

    DJIA is in a rogue wave. It will just go over the high to suck most of you all in. We will close at our lower range today. Dont be surprised if we close in the red today.

    anyone explain this one to me.

    JPM’s i-bank division’s were down this quarter as was expected seeing it was a shitty Ibank trading quarter, so why would Goldsack be opening green?

    My brother was assistant manager of McDonalds at age 14. Hilarious! He started thin, and gained about 25 pounds in the first 6 months, and has struggled with weight ever since. Coincidence? I think not. Now he’s a chubby marching band director. Coincidence?

    Ah, our oil drilling offshore is permitted once again. Let the games begin..
    On the production side, the russians have the edge, having ordered many new shiny oil field equipment for the artic region, with america scaping along because obama is an ass. We might be suckin the russian butt next summer for oil thanks to that moron in the white house. And he isn’t helping by holding jobs down in the industrial sevtor either. Drop taxes for industry, obama, you ass, and we will employ more middle americans!

      No, you’ll buy more oil from Canada, South America, and the Middle East. Putin will however, sell like crazy to the Chinese, and that will help him achieve ends that are not the best for the US (claiming the entire arctic for example).

        Nope. Only 60%. However I’m surprised that they buy oil equipment. Russia has already reached No. 1 producer country status. Still expanding?

          Expanding a lot. Project I work on has brought on 4 of the world’s largest NG wells in the last year. Too bad NG isn’t worth shit.

    FLY,
    I am glad your life is still better than mine. Mine sucks! Despite being a self acknowledged intelligent person, my life sucks and I am a failure.
    My trading sucked.

    Toast to a good life for you, Fly.

    I wish I will smart out someday.
