Volcanic Euroption…………..Evil Plan 53.0 (by BDI)
Well my fellow Slope-a-Dopes, it seems the ominous warnings signs, precisely laid out in EPs 47.0 & 51.0, illustrating the potential for a violent pan European eruption, were indeed on the mark. And this time, it's not just the Greek Gods that are pissed off. The Eurozone volcano is not only spewing gritty ionian volcanic ash clouds, grounding all Airbus a320's on the continent, but much more terrifying, the real thing, hot molten iberian lava which may well cause a complete melt down of the entire grid.
Bull Dung Droppings………………..Evil Plan 51.0 (by BDI)
(Note: I don't make a habit of editing guest contributions, but the photo of a giant bull turd right here was just a bit much! Sorry, BDI!)
Well, my fellow Slope-a-Dopes, looks like I finally found shelter from the storm, and may have gotten my mojo back. As per EP 47.0, it's mainly raining cds cats & dog bonds in Spain, with sustained 55 mph sovereign yield winds, accompanied by severe credit default gusts blowing through the roof. Meanwhile, the barometric pressure on the XRT (retail ETF) is indeed iDroping while I was out iShoping, as per EP 49.0.
Perhaps Batman & Robin, alias Flabby Moolah & his side kick Googley, will now cut me some slack moving forward, somehow I doubt it though. My fair weather friends Clint, COT & Ryans can apologize to me later, and Flybaby can suck on my you know what. Oh, and regarding that hostile banana peel throwing chimp, blow me you deranged baboon! By the way Tyler Durden, feel free to use any past EP's to prop up your waning traffic at ZH, and sorry the current edition is strictly off limits to you, exclusive to SOH for a 24 hour exhibition period. All in good fun dopes.
On a more serious, and most inspiring note, I am pleased to announce that my favorite market condition has finally materialized. It's not often that Macros, Fundamentals, & Technicals all line up impeccably, each pointing in precisely the same ominous direction. The dry bull dung is now perfectly arranged in neat stacks of cow patty piles, just in time for the ferocious shit storm bearing down on us. Heads up, get out of the way! The aging raging bull is about to take another massive dump.
iShop Until iDrop…………..Evil Plan 49.0 (by BDI)
First of all, my fellow Slope-a-Dopes, I want to sincerely apologize to everyone, for my pathetic drama queen melt down display of last week. Let's just say, I obviously snapped after I saw the market perform yet another victory lap dance, as soon as Benny Bigbucks announced that he would be handing out more free viagra laced Benjamins at "The Sniper", a famed Vegas strip joint. As you well know, 2012 has been an absolute debacle for me. I feel much like the desperate, least attractive girl with the smallest tits, sitting alone at a table in the dark smoke filled corner, who gets zero action from even the horniest customers at the club.
Blow Me Ben! (by BDI……not Tim!)
(Gives a whole new meaning to Benny bucks)
See you all in the Fall, when bad ass Ben runs out of gas.
