Pump It Up

So, we previously talked about naked shorts ( See: Eat My Shorts), perhaps had a wild dream about unclothed bankers and decided that that was too disgusting (generally a high carb low protein diet and running to fat). Then we had a look at bug-eyed sheep in a casino; the dealers. If any dealer is insulted by that, I don’t mean you, I mean the other guys next to you on the tv screens and in the papers every morning. For all you bug-eyed sheep out there, how did you manage to type a password in with your hooves? For any casino owners: Well done! You make the stock exchange seem honest! Is till don’t want to play, but at least I know I have little or no chance of winning.

Okay, so the next stage, market aerobics. Pump it up baby. Go to any aerobics class in a major financial centre. Look around, but not too long, they will think you are a stalker. What do you see? Yes, bankers. All doing the same thing. Pedalling together. Aerobiing together (and One and Two and Three, now you know how they get to be so good at maths) or just hanging around having sprayed their faces with mineral water hoping to get noticed. (Hard session that one. Croissant anyone?).

No Risk, No Fun

Yes, all together. Now, they actually in most cases have a low protein high carb high fat diet and have no idea what they are doing. Why should they? Can you predict the future? Of course not silly, so why would you trust someone who believes that they can? Especially if they have a golden parachute. Have you noticed the high correlation between the people who say that, you know, THAT: NO Risk NO Fun, and the frequency of their parachutes, golden ones?

Poor boys and girls, financially secure, so no fun, you think. Wrong, ooh baby, so so wrong. No risk for them, plenty big risk for you. Yessiree, no risk for me plenty risk for you, lots and lots and lots of fun.

Next

So, what we really need now, in the light of the chaos that we have experienced, the rise in oil prices ( By the way, did anyone else notice that the Saudi’ reduced production as soon as the price dropped? Supply down, demand up in comparison with supply….price up. Economix baby.) is a good dose of state intervention; of the right type.
