Helicopter Ben Cuts By 50 bps -- Woo Hoo!!!!


Thanks for that, Ben!  To honor your spirit of generosity, we thought we'd highlight a few other recent examples of someone/something really "making a difference in the world":

  • Greenland's parliament has increased subsidies for domestic ice production.  Al Gore praised the move as "essential to my plan to fight global warming despite the fact that we are on track for the coldest winter in 50 years."
  • Alan Greenspan admits that he "may have been wrong" about a few things.  Naaaaaahhhhhh...
  • Planned Parenthood sends a complimentary box of condoms to Jamie Lynn Spears.  That should help going forward, don't you think?
  • Barack Obama plans targeted tax cuts for hookers.  Hookers must (a) be over the age of 50,  (b) make less than $1000 a year because they are so fugly or (c) have been registered by ACORN in at least 10 of the 57 states to be eligible.
  • Oprah endorses Amazon's Kindle.  Scary to think that Amazon might not have hit its Q4 guidance without an endorsement from this gravity-challenged windbag.
  • Sell-side analysts downgrade everything 6 months too late.  The market couldn't have bottomed until this happened, so next time you see a Model Monkey give him a big hug!
  • Margin clerks take the price of oil below $70 per barrel. We're actually serious about this one.  Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should have bullets in their head by year's end, and that is clearly a good thing.  On the other hand, Vladimir Putin will now almost certainly invade one of the Baltic nations.  Short Latvia, Long Finland!!!
