In the Land of Clam

We all twiddle our mustaches and drive around in whimsical cars, honking at one another like an orchestra of mental retards. In the land of clam, cotton balls are in high demand and gold is as good as AAPL.

All commodities are mandated to trade higher, while employment decreases and wages stagnate (jobs are for slaves). The official Clam Inflation Data (CDI) points to ZERO inflation, in order to avoid paying the old more money, compensating for inflation.

In the land of Clam, government stimulus will jump start the price of oil, instead of the domestic jobs market, because oil is more valuable than people. The stock market will enjoy unbridled rallies, as euphoric investors position themselves for early retirement from the lousy jobs market, thanks to obscene profits in none other than oil stocks.

Foreign corporations will sell fancy race cars to the wealthy unemployed, thanks to the slave labor of the compliant and unsuspecting Chinese workforce. Needless to say, they are unaware of The Land of Clam and its great many intricacies.

Pension funds will be overfunded, thanks to unchecked stock market wins, which will be taxed by the Clam government in order to create new slave jobs in China. We will all retire and enjoy the fruits of other people’s labor, as it is our right. All nations will bow to The Land of Clam and accept our rapidly depreciating currency, in exchange for their slave labor goods, because our tanks are bigger than theirs. Plus anyway, The Land of Clam subsidizes the foreign workforce that manufactures the fancy stuff that is sold to the people of Clam.

Clam money is created out of thin-air (magic money, aka CLAMBUX!) and there is no limit to the amount that can be made.

In the Land of Clam, the BEARDED CLAM is King. His word is final and his BEARD is, well, majestic. It is rumored that the BEARDED CLAM siphons value from Clam homes and transfers said value to cotton, and other important commodities, as a favor to those interested in buying new homes. However, such rumors cannot be substantiated.

Clam, clam, clam.

    I am hearing rumors of rogue gangs killing people for their cotton t-shirts and then boiling down the body parts for the oils and rare earth elements.

      Excactly. The run up merely reflects the pillage and rape our currency is undergoing. None of these companies are actually worth more than they were a year ago. It terms of profitability capable of being generated, likely less.

    Clam Chowder…yep, that is what I want. BTW china/india spot ore down, no demand from China Steelmills, even though historically a strong time…..copper hitting 2008 levels with Sept China data trade data weak, and China’s 5 year plan coming up in 2011 with the not the “grow grow” in it…..makes the dollar down buy commodities such a ugly bubble imho.
