My take on "Twas the Night before Christmas Poem"
....Jurgens Bauer, author of Options Radar a Futures Press Inc. Service
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through land, Many companies sat idle with cash in their hand.
Investors weren't cozy as bulls or as bears, But held fast onto stocks, 401K's in common shares.
Bernanke was comfy as head of the Fed,
While MFG clients wished Jon Corzine were dead.
The Main Street Media prepared a recap,
As chartists kept seeking a breakaway gap.
When over in Europe there arose such a clamor, Investors got neutral to avoid being hammered.
Away to the short side I flew like a flash, Pressed a button and oops, my bad - don't have the cash.
Politicos gathered to put forth a good show Giving new luster to gold on which to bestow.
When, what to my trading screen suddenly appeared, An Option Radar recommendation, now isn't that weird?
With a fat balding trader, so thrifty and hip, I knew in a moment to follow his blip.
More rapid than any contagion attack,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called out watch your back!
"Now Romney! now, Gingrich! now, Perry, not Cain!
To re-elect Obama would be so insane!
To inflate the economy! Oh the shame of it all!
Now buy puts, or buy spreads or even a call!"
Australian crops suffered because its so dry, And in Pakistan floods made all want to cry.
So piling onto dollars investors they flew, With the sleigh full of BS and more promises too.
Take no responsibility, no burden of proof, Just hemming and hawing twas the system went poof.
The banks started turning everything headed down, As back came the dollar, oh what a rebound.
On the hedge fund managers was placed so much blame, As algorithm programs played markets like games.
As I watched in horror the trend line bend, But follow it along as it is your friend.
It took quite a while, but some say the blunder, Wasn't really believed til a major bank went under!
The actions on the part of the Federal Reserve, Seemed proper procedure ahead of the curve.
But loaning the money to those who can't pay, Had already resulted in the housing decay.
So how in the world could different results be expected, As little by little the whole world became infected!
He is chubby and plump, a right jolly old gent, And He laughed when we all saw the Black Swan event!
A rally in metals and a sell off in cattle, But not to worry my friend as your long the straddle.
Seldom joining up with the thundering herd, A contrarian view doesn't seem so absurd.
And laying his fat finger on the wrong trading button, Well what can I lose? Let's go double or nutten!
So he sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like an Iranian missile.
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight, "Merry Christmas to all, buy options outright!"
Happy Holidays,
Jurgens Bauer
