50-Year NYSE Veteran Art Cashin Unleashes New Year's Poem - From ISIS To The Ice Bucket Challenge
Hot on the heels of his Xmas Poem, 50-year NYSE veteran Art Cashin, UBS Director of Floor Operations, has unveiled his New Year's Poem summarizing the year behind and looking at the year ahead. From ISIS to The Ice Bucket Challenge and from Joan Rivers' death to Kim Jung Un's life, Cashin covers it all...
'Tis the day before New Year’s
and despite what you’re hopin’
The folks in the Boardroom
say “the full day we’re open”
So we'll buy and we'll sell
as the tape crawls along
And though "Bubbly's" verboten
we may still sing a song
Two Thousand Fourteen
was okay, not really a wow
Till a Santa Claus rally
took us through Eighteen Thou
We lost special people
as we seem to each year
It just makes us treasure
each one that’s still here
Robin Williams, so manic
snuffed out his own light
Mickey Rooney's gone also
into Dylan's Good Night
Joan Rivers departed
when a doctor slipped up
And Sid Caesar now sips
from a heavenly cup
James Garner, "Bret Maverick"
has played his last hand
Polly Bergen now sings
in an Angelic band
Eli Wallach needs no badges
he's got wings, I've a hunch
Elaine Stritch found a new place
now with cherubs she'll lunch
Hurricane Carter
has thrown his last punch
Ann B. Davis as "Alice"
no longer waits on the "Bunch"
Bacall, who could whistle
took her last curtain call
Philip Seymour Hoffman
is now just down the hall
Casey Kasem's now listing
Top 40 harp songs
Mayor Barry departed
moving on past his wrongs
Mike Nichols graduated
to Mrs. Robinson's place
Ruby Dee now also
fills heaven with grace
Ben Bradlee followed Nixon
for one final time
Maya Angelou tells St. Peter
her favorite new rhyme
Oscar De La Renta
designed his last gown
"Adam Smith" (Jerry Goodman)
he has also left town
The threat of Ebola
made everyone fear
'So Time made health workers
their Man of the Year
Kim K bared her assets
glossed up till they shone
But most folks on the net shrugged
and left the whole thing alone
Some guy near the White House
hopped up over the wall
And since the door was unlocked
he just strolled down the hall
The ice bucket challenge
made some hairdos a mess
But it raised lots of money
to help fight ALS
In their Little League Series
one kid pitched a pearl
As a young lady showed us
how to "throw like a girl"
Polar Vortex froze business
The year started out rough
But when we got defrosted
things seemed to go well enough
There were shootings, then lootings
things kept turning bizarre
Until a mad man came North
to shoot two cops in a car
We saw ISIS beheadings
and car bombs galore
Sadly, three different airliners
got half way but no more
Brad wed Angelina
and George Clooney - Amal
But some folks like Don Sterling
could not find any pal
There were midterm elections
The GOP did quite well
Will that help them to govern?
It's way too early to tell
Sony thought it terrific
and they'd have lots of fun
If they made a joke movie
in which they killed Kim Jung Un
Derek Jeter retired
one game at a time
In most states, gay marriage
is no longer a crime
The NFL fumbled
on domestic abuse
We didn't see the whole tape
was their only excuse
Rolling Stone ran a story
that they later withdrew
And more women blamed Cosby
saying the press really knew
Gwyneth Paltrow "decoupled"
Taylor Swift told streamers "No!"
In the kid's movie Frozen
Elsa sang "Let it go"
Let not this year's memories
of sadness or sleaze
Disturb you this day
just give your heart ease
Have faith that this New Year
will bring a new sign
And believe in yourself
it will all work out fine
Just lift up your spirits
and some fruit of the vine
And kiss ye a loved one
and sing Auld Lange Syne
And late in the evening
as you watch the ball fall
Wish yourself all the best
Happy New Year to All!!

Not a word about Ukraine, full spectrum war with Russia soon to mutate into a military conflict, devastation of Gaza, and the seven Muslim countries that the Nobel Prize Winner is bombing? Apparently, the tranquilizers that Cashin is on are working.
I had a snarky comment, but what more can I say but fuck this propaganda-peddling elite. Half of those people should have been dead in a Hollywood circle jerk two decades ago, and have been kept alive by royalty payments and baby's blood. Fuck Hollywood.
Go say hi to Joan Rivers & Robin Williams will ya Art? Don't forget to pay the boatman 2 paper gold coins.
just goes to show you all of these jackasses in the MSM are union actors with hollywood pensions
Hey he's part of the 1%. Why
is this POS on ZH?
No. Poems, no less. Poems, everybody!
The lad reckons himself a poet.
Money. Get back. I'm all right, Jack.
Cashin always gets his pudding.
it’s a mad world.
many people suffer
by the actions of a few
a few people suffer
by the actions of many
all of these organizations,
government institutions, democrats, republicans,
church communities, mosque communities,
corporations, organized criminals,
legal and illegal militants,
are human beings.
we have to approach tense
violent situations
humanely.
humanely
on a personal interactive level,
humanely
on a global political level,
so that we can negotiate
together
towards peace.
of course
there is a natural tendency
to respond with violence.
but when we do that,
we create more violence.
violence has an echo.
it reverberates.
it never ends well
with violence.
Happy New Year ZH.
dow up several thousand
and nary a blink
zirp is working
and if not, theres fresh ink
'Twas the night before New Year's,
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Except for Art Cashin, something something
Do I really need this ginny J-loving POS telling me what to care for?
THanks for the Best Wishes from Above, pissing down my back and telling me it's raining. Oh look, dead comics! Kim K! Don't worry, we got you covered! Head to toe!
HAPPY NEW YEAR ZH NATION
retire please
and so art cashin
in true maggot fashion
glorified the theft
to help steal what was left
good night
at least he put Derek Jeter and gay in the same stanza...
In the spirit of ZH gloom, doom and boom...
Have a depressing New Year, and may all your wishes for The End come true.
Failing that, it's best to do some manual labor or outdoor exercise, to fill those lungs with fresh air and rejuvenate that brain. And don't forget to have sex with someone other than yourself.
Cheers.
Art Cashin talks out of one side of his mouth for CNBC, and the other side for King World and ZH and whomever else will publish him. The guy has been around 50 years, and that deserves applause, of sorts, but I can't think of one thing he's said in the past 15 years that really mattered six months later.
Poetry at year end?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS5ah4r3MvA
I love the rhymes
That Art Cashin sent us
Too bad the old bastard
Is non compos mentis.
ok now that's funny shit
to bad a algobot don't choke the stupid fuck and his gang of con-artist
nary a mention of constant vix smashing,
while 10 million jobless go windows a-smashing,
close your eyes, and sleep tight in your beds,
cuz if you don't, the cops will blow off your heads.
USELESS IDIOT !
fuck 'Cash`en' the maggot POS!
A nice guy, if you like blowhards.
Big buxom bitches with bubblegum booties,
hot horney Harlots and flaxen haire floozies,
Tawt tawney Trollops with twin nipple rings,
These are a few of my favorite things!
Fighting and farting and fishing and fucking...etc..
"The ice bucket challenge
made some hairdos a mess
But it raised lots of money
to help fight ALS"
It was a self promoting event and little more. Less than 27% of those funds go to actual research, bravo.

Similar, when Obuma's husband held up the #bringbackourgirls sign with the pouty face that broke a nations heart. The girls didn't go back and more have been kidnapped. Total result - self promotion.

Anyone else just throw up in their mouth a little bit?
HH ..... I just brushed my teeth so I opted for shart in the shorts.
Haha it'll have to do my friend.
Fuck Art Cashin just another bloodsucking thief on wall street. He'd be on his knees for Dimon in a heartbeat
He lost any credibility when he took offense at the notion that "The Markets" could be manipulated/blatantly fukin rigged... Pass the apple pie.
HFT fits
Market glitches
Dont want to think about it
Gold Bitchez
Well it could have been written something like this, if you plagarised Satires:-
Who knows not to what monstrous rules, my friend
The mad officials of America tend.
CIA, FBI, SEC some enschrine
Some think the Fed alone divine.
Others, where MF Globals vast ruin strews the ground
And shattered Comex yields a magic sound
Set up a glittering brute of uncouth shape
And bow before the image of an ape.
Thousands regard the spectre with Holy fear
No-one decent. And 'tis dangerous here
To read ZH and then to stain
The sanctity of MSM with words profane
They spare the monkey in the jungle and think it ill
The blood of lobbyists or dross to spill
But middle class incomes! Why, that's legal fare
To steal it all. No scandal there
Cashin talks stocks, Hollywood and scant in between,
With content that's plucked from Faux and Sheeple magazine.
