Futures charts; June 3rd
The Gods are laughing at the impotency of Central Banks worldwide; BP could potentially be named the "first sign of the apocalypse" and the rest of the World is not in good shape either. Enclaves of reason and intelligence are small, and there is only so much of them. The lunatics which chair corporations, committees and other positions of power are reluctant to engage themselves into anything that would disrupt the status quo and put at risk their bonuses and/or their summer homes. So there is nothing smart, witty or humorous to say about any of that. Charts are for monitoring purposes only and do not in any way represent the true nature of things.

Agricultural commodities
Bonds
Currencies
And for tonight's "entertainment" [in addition to the usual "Dog and Pony Show" in form of Fed's futures buying and SNB EUR manipulation] we offer you the following:
Maxim Vengerov; Czardas
Vladimir Horowitz; Polonaise Op. 53 in A flat major
Luciano Pavarotti; Nessun Dorma; Los Angeles 1994
And as per usual a few words from our in-house poet Charles Bukowski
"there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock.people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love.people just are not good to each other
one on one.the rich are not good to the rich
the poor are not good to the poor.we are afraid.
our educational system tells us
that we can all be
big-ass winners.it hasn't told us
about the gutters
or the suicides.or the terror of one person
aching in one place
aloneuntouched
unspoken towatering a plant."
With that I wish you safe trading and good night.

Well to be fair, the article says the well is to be at a depth of 115 feet, not 5,280 like the one that blew up. I think we're still gonna need oil, unless this BP disaster turns out to be an extinction event.
what kind of bullshit poem is that?
the rich are not good to the rich
puhleeze!
we are afraid.
no dewd, not afraid - pissed off. on this side of the pond we're pissed off that our gov has been taken over by the banks and bilderbergers, and we want it back, and now.
This one always cheers me up when I'm feeling a little down in the dumps:
One hand on this wily comet,
Take a drink just to give me some weight,
Some uber-man I'd make,
I'm barely a vapor
They shone a chlorine light on,
A host of individual sins,
Let's carve my aging face off,
Fetch us a knife,
Start with my eyes,
Down so the lines,
Form a grimacing smile,
Close your eyes to corral a virtue,
Is this fooling anyone else?
Never worked so long and hard,
To cement a failure,
We can blow on our thumbs and posture,
But the lonely is such delicate things,
The wind from a wasp could blow them,
Into the sea,
With stones on their feet,
Lost to the light and the loving we need,
Still to come,
The worst part and you know it,
There is a numbness,
In your heart and it's growing,
With burnt sage and a forest of bygones,
I click my heels,
Get the devils in line,
A list of things I could lay the blame on,
Might give me a way out,
But with each turn,
It's this front and center,
Like a dart stuck square in your eye,
Every post you can hitch your faith on,
Is a pie in the sky,
Chock full of lies,
A tool we devise,
To make sinking stones fly,
And still to come,
The worst part and you know it,
There is a numbness,
In your heart and it's growing.

Careless Whisper
i think careless is young
he has eruptions, you remember†
delete
babe, you should be feelin some eruptions yourself. the real unemployment rate is 19%, the u.s. is still fighting 1, 2, or 3 wars that were supposed to be over by now, british pretroleum now has an office in the west wing, goldman sachs seems to own the senate, and the fed reserve is priniting and distributing tons of benjamins to who ever they want, with no accountability, plus the bilderbergs are meeting tomorrow so that mister roc a fella and about a hundred of his buddies can give out marching orders to their puppets because they know how to run the planet.
mister roc a fella
i probably want to meet him,
kiss kiss
i can't do a lot for you, whisper.

Calm the fuck down. OK.
You are pissed off eh. Then fucking do something. Dont just bitch all the time on forums. Go do something if you are so goddamn pissed. I'm not the reason everything is fucked up, so dont vent your anger and disappointment here.
Horowitz rocks, this guy has always had me enthralled.
God Love Ya Cheeky!
You are a Great Sport Mate!
You are the reason our Family across the pond should never be forgoten!
I hope you are feeling better and all is well with you and yours, JW
dead link sorry
My meager contribution to the thread. For border crossings, hair cuts, shaves, note passing... and commentary on the ongoing action in what passes for markets.... Thanx Cheeky. Time to make some markets as everyone shouts; CHEEKY !! :)

Good evening all, My favorite Thread is back and better than ever..Great stuff...You feeling ok CB? You get worried from time to time..
I got a laugh out of seeing this, BP could potentially be named the "first sign of the apocalypse", because it immediately made me think of this gem,
Jesus Almighty Tittyfucking Christ man!
Go spew that fucking garbage someplace else. No one gives a flying fuck what either your book or your imaginary friend tell you.

Enjoy your comments CB, remind me of my old DI......The Invisible hand is creating charts, just like with a Lite Brite....so, are bascially playing chess on a backgamon board?
I need more cowbell.
Hey Cheeky, since we're being off topic, this might interest you (reflecting sideways on your previous article about American life before the White man):

Now if we can only convince the hookers that sex should be free too!

Velobabe,

by off topic I mean open thread of course
Anyone else have the feeling TS won't HTF until someone blinks? Ok, DeNile it is.
Damn, I wish the Wanker hadn't turned to the Dark Side.
CB, merci.
The poem before the charts would have been a nice lead into their nature.
As for "Charts are for monitoring purposes only and do not in any way represent the true nature of things.", the question is to monitor what nature?

I SEE A TREND FORMING
Whatever happened to TrimTabs & Charlie Biderman? He used to be featured here regularly and, if I recall correctly, he railed about how the tax receipts didn't square with the BLS employment figures. How come he's no longer featured here?
Charlie decided he was reading his data incorrectly, and changed course. Weird.

Hi Cheeky,
In the libor piece (http://www.zerohedge.com/article/worthlessness-libor#comments) there was a bloomberg quote:
Is this a reference to CDs being acceptable collateral for loans from Central Banks, or something else?
Thanks
Mou will make for fun times in next years Classicos
I think those CDs are used as a collateral in repos.
But dont hold me to my word since im not sure; its just that seems like the most logical explanation. I really dont have access to that kind of info; so it would be better if you direct that question towards Tyler, or go to Wilmott.com and ask some of the people there [ since most of them are quants working on WS I think they should know more].
Mou will not be welcomed well by the Madridistas since they will not approve of his style. Dumb Madridistas always want to see 15 goals per game. Real Madrid = Harlem Globetrotters. But he could easily be the next Vincente del Bosque [probably the best coach Real had since 1960].
Open thread, huh?
OK.

Cheeky, that poem is depressing.
You want depressing try this on for size:
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Macbeth, 5. 5
Shakespeare did do a mean depression.
'Only dead fish flow with the stream'
Thanks Cheeky ... great interpretations.
