10/28/10 Midnight Report: Investors debate size of QE2 and wonder if it will suffer from shrinkage
The market held steady today as headline-y good macro news was mixed with a dose of disappointing earnings news and topped off with a healthy heaping of who gives a shit. That’s because with mid-term elections looming and everyone waiting to see the details of QE2 (which is now the most anticipated market event since

9/23/10 Midevening Report: Housing and employment continue to struggle, but at least we have our healthcare
Ho fucking hum. Another day with more of the same news including bad unemployment numbers, bad housing data, and likely bad promises of a still unreleased Karissa Shannon sex tape (and it’s not even the one Money McBags wants to see). Excuse me while Money McBags yawns as how is he supposed to write dick

9/15/10 Midevening Report: S&P hits 5 week high even as macro data tries to hold an intervention
The market was up again today as Europe remains solvent and investors ignore macro data and instead focus on how they can become race car drivers. In economic news, production in the US slowed as automakers held back on churning out new cars due to a little something called a consumer fucking recession. Not only

8/30/10 Midafternoon Report: Warren Buffett turns 80 as he and the S&P race to 100
The market was fairly quiet today with many investors spending their last summer week basking in the sun, sipping on margaritas, and enjoying the last days of the S&P above 1,000. In fact news was so thin this morning that the NY Times business cover story told you about retargeting as the reason why you

8/24/10 Midday Report: Housing boom now bigger bust than Dolly Parton’s, though a lot more affordable and without the old lady smell
Money McBags tweeted, facebooked, and even semaphored that he will be traveling Monday through Wednesday of this week and thus likely would be absent from When Genius Prevailed for a few days (even God took one fucking day off), but with the market going back to hell (or at least the 666 low), Money McBags

8/10/10 Midevening Report: Fed quantitatively eases on down the road, hopes the road doesn’t lead to deflation
The market dropped in the morning like Ted Stevens’ plane (too soon?) which Money McBags read about on the series of tubes some people call the internets (perhaps if there had been a bridge going somewhere instead of nowhere, the plane wouldn’t have been needed, but Money McBags digresses), until Ben Bernanke got his quantitative

6/10/10 Midevening Report: Market rallies in anticipation of tomorrow’s sell off
Readers, Money McBags apologizes for his absence yesterday, unfortunately he has a life outside of the great When Genius Prevailed and that life required him to spend all day watching Anna Paquin scenes now that she is oh so comfortable with her bisexuality, so you can’t really fault him for that. Anyway, today the market

6/3/10 Midevening Report: BP apologizes for oil spill while investors await market’s apology for recent 12% drop
The market held steady today like the Universe according to Fred Hoyle or the unemployment rate over the past several months. Speaking of unemployment, jobs data came out in advance of tomorrow’s already leaked positive government non farm payrolls report which will no doubt feature a birth/death model plug so large that it will be

6/2/10 Midafternoon Report: Market runs in the late afternoon as it attempts to get home in time for Oprah
It was a relatively quiet day in the market today which is more of a rarity than a downward sloping supply curve, a funny Adam Sandler movie, or a bad picture of Olivia Munn. The market was up though as pending home sales shot through the roof, of course now someone will have to go

4/1/10 Midafternoon Report: A disappointing RIMM job
Before we get to the markets, Money McBags found a picture of the hottest female in the history of history and wanted to share it with his readers as a sign of his gratitude. This is the hottest female ever*, so you’re welcome. Anyway, stocks are up today as macro data was more encouraging than
