Today's Market-Moving News: Blackened Chicken On A Wavy Cracker

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Tonight at 7 pm Ben Bernanke will be speaking at the National Economists Club Annual Members Dinner. As Credit Suisse's Carl Lantz notes, nobody knows the topic or the title of the speech: we can only assume it is some variation of the now trite and generic "BTFATH" coming from the Fed endlessly for the past 5 years. However, we do know one thing: the menu of the dinner that will accompany Bernanke's remarks. We are certain that in a world in which a tweet by a 70 year old billionaire moves markets as much as a statement by a current or future uber CTRL-Peers, it is the details of what the glorious chairman eats that is the most marking-moving event du jour, and as such the menu will be today's most important "fundamental" news. Jon Hilsenrath will follow up with his detailed analysis shortly.

Hopefully someone will be replacing that blackened chicken on a wavy cracker with some wholesome shit on a shingle...served in copious amounts of course. Shit talkers deserve only the best.

I'll take chicken-flavored ramen noodles, thank you.

(A whole week's sodium in a single bag!)

I don't know what corked boots are but chicken-flavored ramen in a favorite, esp. on those blustery cold days we get in Florida. I had no idea that flavor packet had so much salt until seeing your comment. I don't have salt problems but I certainly don't want to push the issue. Thanks for the health tip!

HD employees here in CT reported their work hours being 'cooked' to appear they work 29 or less per week, so as to avoid 'full time' status and benefits. One guy told me he worked 38 hours last week, is being paid 29 with the extra 9 hours 'moved over' to next week. Guy said this is being done companywide. He puts up with it because he can't find a better job in this 'strong economy'. College grad with Criminal Justice degree. Take it for what it's worth. Just an FYI. Can anybody confirm HD payroll accounting 'tricks' in your areas?

This type of thing is being reported anecdotally all over. The government has dealt directly with these accusations and concluded (in a statement last month) that this does not happen.

So we guess it doesn't happen...
