Friday Humor: Summing It Up

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Since "it just doesn't matter" anymore, we hope that soon financial network TV, plagued by the lowest ratings in a decade for the simple fact that nobody cares anymore what Federal Reserve Capital LP does, will at least invite some funnier guests, such as Bill Murray, to dispense hot stock tips.

Oooh!  The high-wire act just started.

So, JPM gets to rotate a bit more physical into their vaults, banks get to load up more at better prices.  Look at what they DO, not what they SAY.  I'm looking to buy some more.

I thought this is a better representation of Bill Murray's applicable acting skills and what is needed on CNBS.  He could cover the Bernank's (aka, the Groundhog's) public statements.

"it just doesn't matter" is soooooooo last century.

 

Time to move into the 21st century. Now for the hipper, cooler way of dissing your detractors.

"What difference at this point does it make"

 

Time to get with the program kiddies!

Betcha people are starting to have that little voice in the back of their heads about being embarrassed to be on that fucking station.
I know I'm starting to wonder why anybody's on there and if they're a money manager Why TF aren't they running the money instead of salving their ego?

The moment they realize they were being scammed and everything they thought was real was really entertainment to create the illusion of a free market money talk or some bullshit "insert here " whatever, whatever...  I just want it to be over, the fix is in and everyone fucking knows it. Maybe someone over there will have a moment of clarity and just trash the whole game and quit on air before they cut the feed  to the last 20,000 viewers in one final act of drama we can all watch on youtube and get a good chuckle as it continues to crumble around us. I am seriously optimistic.

Funny! on my Etrade account, live charts, it said 1666.14 at the close from 4pm-4:12, then it changed to 1667.47 at around 4:15. I know it has to settle few trades, but it would be cool to see it actually stays at 1666. lol

Keep in mind who the pumpers work for.  They are paid to cheerlead so the wealthy folks who OWN the media get richer on their personal holdings of stocks.  They don't give a damn about the lemmings who will be holding the bag when this sham of a market bursts (and it will burst).

How long is your priest going to have to listen? And...'

Does he have a 501(c)(x)?

Can you pay someone else to do the confession for you?

What knowledge does your priest have about this 666 number, and when did he know it?

Does his choir or parish use Gibson guitars?

Have you ever given your priest stock trading information before, or before the general public?

What guarantee do you have that it will not be recorded and used against you?

Are thier cameras in the booth?

Can we tune in when ever we want and insert quarters?

How much have you contributed to this priest before?

These are serious questionz....

Bill Murray on CNBC! This is one way to raise the ratings, I for one, would love the spectacle, Bill, with the hair he had in that bowling scene in the movie he did with Woody, giving out stock tips for the "Believers" precious and `Only in America`.

His words, not mine........if you are in this stock market you are going to get wiped out, its NASDAQ circa 1999 all over again.

We aint that far away from circling the wagons friends.  The time is almost here to find who you trust and stand by them, one for all and all for one so to speak.

No man is an island and without each other we dont do nothing.  Thats what the big men expect, and other than here on ZH I have seen no others be prepared for the oncoming fight.  Never mind humour, this fuck up we call life, markets, jobs, whatever is now burning out at an alarming rate, its time to be who we were sent here to be.  You lot ready?  You lot willing and able to do best by your fellow man?  I am, and I hope you all are in some semblance of preparation for the times that lay ahead.

This cannot go on for much longer, I hold no malice for anyone who is just getting by, them that are asleep that never woke up, fuck me I wish I hadnt, but its up to us, them that did, them that can, and them that will.  Dont look down on them less fortunate than you, dont judge them, the big men will do that, help them, dont let your fellow man down, cos' at some point we will all need each other, and lets do the do.

This stopped being funny a long time ago, and sorry for the long post but lets show these fuckers we aint done, we aint soft, and we can join and help each other in a way that money cannot.

Lets give these fuckers war, but lets do it our way, there really is more to life than money and riches.

I live it, and I hope we can all see that life is too short to chuck away on this shit.

God speed bitchez, even the politically correct ZH (Bosses).

Cunts.

I'm looking for microfinancing of my new cable channel.

Its going to be called the "AM channel", that's Animals Mating, with key sponsors to be companies who will assist you in the purchase and deliver of prescription drugs with your EBT card, or cards, to the big fat couch of your choice.

Reality shows will be: what government assistance programs are available to YOU, now, nothing down; setting up your own little Federal Reserve in your basement, Medicare Fraud-For-Dummies; nonprofits organizations for fun and profit; how to walk away with a disabilty check, and how to drag out payments of that nasty student loan up thru and past the 2nd coming of Xrist, guaranteed!

Its not all take, take, take.   For those with special financial acumen and a head for numbers, there will be a special feature of what the going rate for Congressmen is.  They're practically free!   

We'll make a mint.

My stock advice now, like in the late 1990's....solid advice to "beat the market"...

...1) pull up order entry screen, 2) close eyes, 3) type random 3 letters, 4) hit enter.

Viola! Instant positive return from VBX, or HHW!!!

Now retire to Somalia for the good life.
