Money McBags is back after taking a mental health day on Friday because writing 1k-1.5k words a day of fresh material, analysis, and dick jokes about the market is not quite as easy as it sounds, especially as Money McBags takes his work very seriously (see, he could throw up just any picture of Odette…

7/28/10 Midevening Report: Rally comes to an end and unfortunately it’s not Jessica Biel’s
The market sold off today as it couldn’t keep ignoring the data and finally had to come to grips with where the bad macro news had touched it. The biggest negative was the Fed’s Beige Book report which failed to titillate the market like either Money McBags’ book report on the Kama Sutra (which he…

6/24/10 Midnight Report: Market dials up LifeCall as it has fallen and can’t get up
The market tanked at the end of the session like Money McBags’ day which has caused today’s column to be late, short, and in need of one more read through, but it is what it is. You see, Money McBags was cranking away at his terminal, busily breaking down the news, perusing 10Ks for cheap…

The market tried to rally today like a drunken hobo lying in a pool of his own vomit reaching for the discarded fifth of whiskey by his side to try to taste one last drop. Unfortunately the last drop turned out to be another hobo’s urine as Money McBags hasn’t seen a rally less believable…

3/24/10 Midday Report: Port-Ugh-al
The market is down a bit today on news that some country in Europe named Portugal has had their debt rating lowered by a whole minus sign (yikes, imagine if it had been a minus sign and a frowny face) and slightly negative US macro news. New home sales came out today and boy were…

2/25/10 Midfternoon Report: Goldman Sachs seeks nobel prize for literature after (under)writing biggest Greek tragedy since Euripides
Greece’s debt issues are once again scaring the market like the snake ridden visage of the famous gorgon from ancient Greek mythology known more familiarly as Lady GaGa.

The market is down again today thanks to Qualcomm giving a subdued forecast and something again about people not having jobs.

12/24/09 Mid-Morning Report: It’s Christmas Eve, can a jew get a table dance?
Yes Money McBags lights the menorah and it looks like the market wants him to get those table dances tonight as it is up again on positively mixed news.
