"New Looks" on CNBC Anchorettes Incites Vertical Meltup

RobotTrader's picture




 

Melissa Francis and Amanda Drury had a decidedly different look today.  As usual, the optimistic Alpha Dog hedge fund traders reacted to the "new and different" look and assumed the "worst must be over".  They responded by immediately buying stocks in a near panic.  Even the little old ladies got fed up with 1.80% Treasury yields and went wild buying utilities.

What's up with Melissa Francis today???

Man, did she grow some
huge milk plants or what??  She was showing some unusual cleavage that looked like it was being restrained by a Kevlar straight jacket.

Here's a photo from the good old days
when the Dow was 14,000

Nice "stick-armed" supermodel look.

But today, she looked like she could feed
her kids through college...

Or become the primary supplier for the Alta-Dena dairy.

Who knows?

Could not find a current video feed or
photo...maybe one will show up tomorrow.

And now I'm noticing that Amanda Drury is filling in for Maria Bartiromo.  She's dropped the conservative GE look and is now wearing some
funky blue tie-die outfit.  Unfortunately, the slender face is now being ruined by her upper arms are blowing out to super-sized KFC
drumsticks...

WTF???

Can't the casting directors at CNBC put
her on a freaking crash diet??  Here's a picture from some better days...

 

Meanwhile, the Riverboating Grandmas got disgusted with the U.S. Treasury yields plummeting to new lows again yesterday, and they decided to go out and chase some utility stocks.

Check out these hockeysticks:

Robot on a Rant.. where's the plug?  SOMEbody pull it.. pleeease!!

People.. these HFT models are NOT complicated, just DIFFERENT from what we're used to seeing.  Reverse engineer the trades, go "with the flow" [don't fight the TREND], lighten up as it gets overextended.  These quants, PhDs who set these models up are NOT sophisticated investors.  Seems to me the some traders have forgotten how to ..TRADE!

Get back to the analysis.. and TRADE!

By the way are some of you sick in the head?  Who gives a rats ass about these stick armed tarts when you can have a REAL God fearing woman.  If you DID, you wouldn't be here salivating over these photos and images on your TV set.  Get a LIFE!! Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior.. TODAY!!!

Check out what plane crash survivor Mickey Robinson has said he experienced.. or Howard Storm.. or "LIFE AFTER DEATH ?" on YouTube.. then grab your Bible.

Take the time.. it may save your "LIFE".

But I dont know about 'traders buying like mad' today...everywhere I look its a magical melt-up on 1/3 average pathetic volume, even on Goldie...looks like NFP comes in horrendous at 500K+ tomorrow? Somethings up, and its not just M.F. cup size.

I like the new CNBC pro-ho looks, but something is rotten and its not just Erins crotch.

RoBo just to let you know, maybe Melissa Francis, is pregnant (hate that when it happens). but your boobs get bigger naturally (hate that when it happens, too).

especially thinking, she comes from little house on the prairie. she recks of properness and naive and everything dumb white american woman think.

i mean do you really believe much is happening other than clothes with these woman. bet they don't like sports.

Do as you may as you rightfully choose.  But if you think being a housewife is a stupid waste of time in our era of ultra convenience and rather pay for maids/nannys/etc as you run faster on the hamster wheels, you might want to see how valuable time is when you can spend it anyway you choose instead of calculating how to bill for all the time you shittered away

It could have something to do with the name, avatar, and every single comment screaming, "I'm a hyper-partisan half-wit."  Just sayin'.  I'm guessing someone named "Trust Fund Demonrat" with a MSLSD avatar whose time here was spent only on trashing Democrats would get just as tiresome just as easily.  Perhaps the hyper-partisan half-wit in question could simply go back to DU or HuffPo and enjoy the delusion that electing Ds instead of Rs is the cure to what ails us.

Citadel, SAC Capital, DE Shaw and many more top hedge funds will play this sector. If my hunch is correct, it's the next big bubble (could be now or much later).

the only possible reason to play it now is for buyouts and higher energy costs

 

all those funds you mention could probably afford all the shares of all the solars out there...and merge them all. LOL

After the initial pop, solars came down hard because they're heavily manipulated (lots of naked short selling in this sector). You have NOT seen the solar bubble yet, not by a long shot!

HOWEVER, pan the camera out on a lot of these charts they don't look so hot. (How 'bout a 3 mth?) Beta on these things is terrifying. I hope you're hedged bro. :)   PS- stick w/ the Brazilian chicks!

It looks as though Drury is aware of her 'bingo wings' as she moved her arm to show a bit of the side and then purposely repositioned her fore arm to cover it.

Other than that, boring day in spite of the hike upwards.

This woman has gone from the most naturally cute anchorette to the hottest most natural beautiful anchorette in a week. She's a new look too. Tan, showing a lot more cleavage and giving the camera that hot nasty come get me smile. 

She's why I get up in the morning. I had to adjust my trading this week but at 10am my alarm goes off, I turn my tv on, there she is (my woman) and she looks so fucking hot now that I have to really open my eyes and adjust them so I can get a good look. Before I know it I'm wide awake and ready to enjoy my 2 hours of stock market paradise. I love her, she is my woman.
