Art Cashin Unveils 2015 Christmas Poem: "Resist Ye Grinch Feelings"
Having recently opined that "2015 was one of the most difficult markets in 50 years," the venerable Art Cashin has once again unleashed annual holiday poem:
‘Tis two days before Christmas
and at each brokerage house
The only thing stirring
was the click of a mouse
Down on the Exchange
the tape inches along
Brokers bargained and traded
as they hummed an old song
The Fed turned data dependent
or so they would claim
Yet they hiked in December
though the data looked tame
KC took the series
and the Pats grabbed the Bowl
While American Pharoah
had the Crown as his goal
Our girls took the World Cup
they were just over-joyed
And we found us a new star
who was named Carli Lloyd
Letterman, he retired
and he quick grew a beard
And so did Paul Ryan
I'm thinking that's weird
The Pope came to visit
and he drew quite a crowd
And hundreds of selfies
he even allowed
The Broadway play - "Hamilton"
as a show caused a flap
They've a sold out box office
with Founding Fathers who rap
Yet there's still Cosby and Kim K
they still don't bring us cheer
But it's Christmastime, Alice
And Santa is near
So stop looking backwards
have a cup of good cheer
And kiss you a loved one
raise your hopes for next year
And amidst all the trading
Christmas themes we will heed
And share our good fortune
with families in need
And tomorrow they’ll pause
as we wait on the bell
To sing a tradition
a song for old “Nell”
Don’t let this year’s problems
impede Christmas Cheer
Resolve to be happy
throughout the New Year
And resist ye Grinch feelings
let joy never stop
Put the bad at the bottom
keep the good on the top
So count up your blessings
along with your worth
You’re still living here
in the best place on earth
And think ye of wonders
that light children's eyes
And hope Santa will bring you
that Christmas surprise
So play ye a carol
by Mario Lanza
Unless you are waiting
to celebrate Kwanzaa
Hanukkah’s over
And Ramadan’s long gone
Different folks, different holidays
yet each spirit lives on
Whatever your feast is
we hope you all still
Find yourself just surrounded
by folks of goodwill
Thursday, as the bell rings
hark to your heart’s call
And as Santa would shout
Merry Christmas to All!

"2015 was like commuting by rollercoaster. There were heart-stopping drops, there were nearly vertical ascents, and when it was all over you got off just about where you started and it cost you money. And not only was that true of the stock market, it was true of the yield on the 10 Year. The 10 Year is virtually where it began the year."

Who cares
Art is a dinosaur from the times when there was a 'market'.
It's why I hate this guy. He knows about all the bullshit and yet he goes along with the charade to save his job and get on TV. I don't get as angry at the young bucks. They are all used car salesman or autistic math monkeys and don't know any better. This crusty old cunt knows that it's all fake, but doesn't have the balls to say anything. Roll that poem up and shove it right in his dimpled ass!
And resist ye Grinch feelings
let joy never stop
Put the bad at the bottom
keep the good on the top...
that's easy to say when you're sipping blue label in your manhattan penthouse. bitchez.
Bah! Humbug.
Happy Holidays

this market is tougher than a $2 steak
Cashin looks like the "Great Pumpkin", in that Santa hat... That guys blood pressure must off the scale, from feasting at all the bankster Hors d' oeuvre gatherings.
i'm guessing a zestril. zocor, and prilosec cocktail washed down with scotch 2X per day.
Always listen to the old guys, They have seen more and done more than the young knowitalls.....
when out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I shat my depends, but "what does it matter?"
Shart
wet gas
also see Viscous Fart.
Difficult yes, when all that rigging and bullshit 24/7 results in no change... Hope and no change, sounds familiar.
I just had to laugh at such infantile and mean spirited remarks. Don't get me wrong, it's fine to be mean spirited if you're at least CLEVER or witty, but writing 'bitchez' or simply whining just doesn't quite fit that bill.
The comments on Z-Hedge/ Do aught but complain / Like rain forest monkeys / Caught in the rain /You can't make it in markets /Without using your brain / Just read and don't post / Learn something for gain.
take that....bitchez
