’Twas The Night Before The Fed Meeting

12/24/15

Since we now live in an entirely different world in which stock prices are manipulated every minute of every day by central bankers, we should put our efforts into updating our literature to reflect the new ‘nanny-state’ of our existence. I have begun updating nursery rhymes. In keeping with Christmas spirit, I have now updated the poem commonly known as ‘The Night Before Christmas’ to more accurately reflect the true Santa Claus - the Federal Reserve Bank. 

’Twas the hours before the Fed announcement

and throughout the NYSE

Not a trader was trading

Not even the propagandist, shill, cheerleaders on CNBC

With hope in our hearts 

And ‘buy’ orders in hand

Investors waited anxiously

For Janet to announce that the bubble would indeed expand!

With me and my data

So different from government lies

I knew stocks should fall

But I knew Janet felt otherwise

Our hearts beat faster

As the two o’clock hour neared

What would Janet say?

Would there be anything to fear?

And suddenly there she was

Lift off was here

Higher rates were coming

Wall Street let out a cheer!

They knew as I did

Janet would not fail

She has a printing press

And no reluctance to tell a tall tale

At first the Dow staggered

Realizing the end could be near

The bull market rally

Zoomed higher as a wall of money suddenly appeared

Up Amazon, up Google

Up banking, utilities, nothing could fall

Every sector was in the green

The PPT bought it all

With price fixing in

the bubble could grow and grow

The Fed won’t let us down

All stocks are green no matter what we sow

So twenty trillion is debt 

is nothing to fret

Neither is a bubble in stocks

Against the fed we don’t want to bet.

Enjoy the Fed’s bubble and Merry Christmas to all!
