Deep Market Thoughts…'We Got a Bleeder' AND Check Out My LAST EVER Television Appearance

I can’t bare to look at myself and yet I am dumb enough to go on television. I hope Cody is making a lot of money because everything about television sucks from the preparation to the lights to the make-up….

What really pisses me off is I spent so much time grooming for my short television visit (plucking nose hairs, shaving, putting on a shirt, wearing shoes) and yet I look like ‘Jabba the Hud’ when I sit down. That shirt just went in the garbage. In fact, I am just going to let my nosehairs grow out and do a combover. Should take a week.

THE STOCK JOCKEY WAS KIND ENOUGH TO TRACK DOWN THE CLIP . BTW – RedLasso bites serious ass with it’s horrid player.

As for the hilarity of what was going on behind me…

You have John Mauldin , Barry Ritholz and a bunch of Danish money managers.

My first line to John Mauldin (I swear and Barry would back me up on this) – ‘I would read you, but my father-in-law does’. The table just busted out laughing. It was awesome. He is a serious guy, but busted out laughing himself. I just ripped into a few Danish guys there with him (he has an entourage) about selling all their oil rights to Norway. I tried to sell them some land in west Phoenix. Nice bottom tick Denmark on oil. As for Barry, he’s just too sweet to rip on (and he would not hear it as he is always talking at you) so I let him just argue about economics and politics with the intense group of newsletterers. He and Mauldin about punched each other about taxes and economic figures. I was doing shots.

I would like to blather about the market, but you know what happened.

Actually, The FLY sums up the market situation better and funnier than me:

The airlines, autos, banks and the retailers are all going under. Ironically, the fucking farmers are doing swell. Remember back in the 80’s, when those fuckers were as poor as cow shit? They even threw concerts (Farm Aid) for those assholes. Farmers were just walking away from their crops and moving to the ‘big city,’ like the fucking rubes they are.

I bet loads of those assholes took up executive positions at Bear Stearns.

Oh the irony.
