"Winter Is Coming" - Wall Street Economists At Work

It's that time of year again...

When angry mobs of Americans trample one another for the very last Victoria's Secret thong, when the world over-indulges, over-consumes, and over-stimulates... And of course...

It's the time of year when Wall Street's best paid and brightest are forced to admit their utter cluelessness...

As Reuters shows, the last two years have been extremely embarrassing for the so-called professionals...

Of course, blame-mongery will be rife:

• Weather was so 2014 (although El Nino is bound to crop up in more than a few memes this year)
• Port Strikes were "the new black" in 2015

So, what will the excuse be this year - since there is no way anyone could blame The Fed?

We ran out of gas! We got a flat tire! We didn’t have change for cab fare! We lost our tuxes at the cleaners! We locked our keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole our cars! It was too hot. It was too cold. There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN’T OUR FAULT, WE SHOPPED!! I SWEAR TO GOD!

When shit will hit the fan and paper money won't make for a lot of heat, my guess it that Yellen will have to get warm like every other social secured foodstamped tribes. 

He ...he..he, the old ways never die:

Tow the line, ride the QE and whatever you do make sure the GDP is positive. Job well done, here's the bonus check

You are here.  Nothing a triple seasonal adjustment can't handle.

does buying a Slim Jim at 1:30am from the local convenience store count?

Nothing good happens outside after 11PM.

"Terrorism" is the excuse de jour this year.

Poor Mr Yellen.
So much poorly directed scorn.

STANLEY FISCHER, there's the turd in this punch bowl.

Yellen is the glove puppet and STAN has his arm buried elbow deep in that corn fed Tookhes.

Oi Vei! What an image! Go for it WB7.

Won't last long either.

What difference does it make?  - lol

Just keep printing and since no one can provide a viable option, then keep on printing and "everything is awesome". No worries, be happy and hope that one medical crisis doesn't bankrupt you.
