12/27/10 Mini Update: Twitter Me This
With nothing happening today in the market, Money McBags decided to use the Twitter to get his market on in 140 characters or fewer (and none of the characters were Humbert Humbert, Gloria Delgado-Pritchett, or Mr. Horton). Below is what you may have missed: — 1. MMB back tomorrow. spent today shoveling, wondering who keeps…

Small Company Update: KIRK Off So Much That Market May Go Blind
Oh KIRK, you schlock-teasing little minx. Money McBags has defended you over the past few quarters as an undervalued gem (like the delightful, and yet soon to be overvalued Hayley Atwell thanks to her role in the upcoming Captain America movie) as you seduced him with your expanding margins, your bouncing back sales, and your…

11/20/10 Midday After Report: Bernanke Lets His Hair Down
Kind of a drab hum drum day in the market yesterday as no new countries were close to defaulting, no new IPOs of shitty companies were being sold (and yeah Harrah’s, Money McBags is looking at you), and no new news on whether Milla Jovovich will be joining her country’s burgeoning Femen movement. — With…

9/16/10 Midevening Report: Americans flash foodstamps in Poverty Gone Wild!
The market was remarkably flat today despite a flurry of economic news including new claims for unemployment, the producer price index, census data on poverty, and Craigslist officially shutting down its section for sex ads (thereby forcing wealthy scumbags to seek other arrangements). The most important, and frankly confusing, of the economic reports was the…

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…

8/24/10 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…

8/20/10 Midevening Report: Market keeps going down, investors worry it may develop lockjaw
The market continued to stumble today as if it were Heather Mills on an inclined treadmill. With a dearth of macro news, the sell off was still a result of yesterday’s craptacular economic data where new claims for unemployment jumped, productivity in Philly shrank, and as always, Hannah Hilton remained retired (and please Hannah, come…

8/2/10 Midevening Report: Market hits ten week high as meth lab in the basement finally pays off
The market ran faster today than Roman Polanski going to get his keys to pick the baby sitter up because the manufacturing sector grew at its slowest pace since December, private construction spend dipped for the second month in a row, and Ben Bernanke said shit still sucks out there. So rally fucking on like…

7/6/10 Midafternoon Report: Heat wave melts market rally, or maybe it was common sense
Holy crap is it hot out today. It’s so hot that the only difference between the East Coast and hell is that Jim Cramer isn’t in hell, yet. Anyway, the market was rebounding a bit after downing several vials of muscle relaxant to help cure the severe case of lockjaw it developed from going down…

6/29/10 Midevening Report: Market searches for a bottom, hopefully it’s Brooklyn Decker’s
It was ugly out there today, real ugly, like a Lady Gaga– Alan Greenspan love child with a bad case of facial neurofibromatosis. Investors are worried that China is slowing down (they are), that Europe won’t be able to roll their debt (eventually they won’t), and that US consumer spend will shrivel up like Khagendra…
