Caption Contest: Nutcracker On The NYSE

Tyler Durden's picture




 

We are not exactly sure why the ballerinas of the Nutcracker can be found on the floor of the TV studio formerly known as the New York Stock Exchange (now owned by the Atlanta-based ICE) but we are sure there is a good reason.

Ballerinas? Not sure why there is a trading floor in the NYSE, except for specialists/brokers to dance away with commissions.

Open-outcry = best prices for insiders, worst prices for joe public. 

Get rid of this 19th Century anarchronism!

You are confuse! Hillary is "nut shrinker". When detection of Hillary presence, all genitalia is shrivel and quiver. Just thought of Hillary and Boris is one testicle retreat to pelvic cavity.

1st Ballerine, asking the 1st Dancer

 -- When do they turn on the lights and when does the fairy tale show stop in this place? At least at the Met after 22h30 we go back home and reality.

1st Dancer answering the Ballarine

-- I saw a man with Silver slippers, his name is Ron he told me, he said that there are another 18 months going of that show maximum...

Because there is nothing else to do when the ES does less than half a million contracts in an entire day and the markets going up ten points a day is a given.

 

Just go all in on the S&P, make sure to use plenty of margin, then come back in a few weeks; cash out, buy a new boat or two and wait for the next dip of a couple points to reload.

That dance troupe's got nothing on the dancing around the law they practice on Wall Street.

I'm waiting for the Neck Cracker (rope and a lamp post) on Wall Street headline. That's when we'll know the zombies have awoken and decided to fight back against their owners. Question is, can zombies awaken or are they truly brain dead? Time will tell.......

Why do I sense anti-ballet sentiment in commentary?  It's just one of the European forms of dance. Irrelevant.   Unmix your cultural feelings with the envy for NYSE participants.  You're saying "Shucks they greedily get all the money", and "Oh what a circus".  You could just participate by buying shares of...

I see they took down NYSE and it's a part of some thing called ICE.

Well, I'll bet that's like the International Bank movie with Clive Owen and stuff, funding South Sudan's arms and ... I'll say no more!
