10/5/10 Midevening Report: Japan says money for nothing and ch(opst)icks for free
Oh shit is it on. Japan decided to cut their rates to 0%, the ISM released a number slightly more than a nut hair above guesses, and the lovely yet vibrator-challenged Christine O’Donnell assured voters that she is not a witch (and Money McBags is 95.6% sure that is a real video). All of those

10/4/10 Midevening Report: Rally comes to an end, always knew it was an ass man
The market fell today ahead of Q3 earnings as a result of downgrades, the usual relatively ok yet absolutely shitty macro news (known as the skinny girl in fat camp or the world’s tallest midget syndrome, speaking of which , Money McBags did find Mr. Reich’s opinion piece surprisingly unfull-of-shit today, but then again, Money

10/1/10 Midafternoon Report: SEC says Waddell and Reed caused the flash crash, also blames them for stuxnet virus, and Jay Leno’s career
The market treaded water again today as all 1,800 (give or take ~1,795) macro reports were vague enough and relatively inline enough (though absolutely out of line, like the phone number on a Chad Ochocinco cereal box or Fed Reserve Bank of Kansas City President Thomas “T Ho” Hoenig after one too many brandy snifters
-
9/30/10 Midevening Report: Stocks end higher for the Q as HFTs continue to be their pusher
The market was relatively flat today as investors were focused on figuring out how to build rocket ships to reach the newly found Goldilocks planet (where the distance from a star, surface area, and moon position are all just right to make it potentially habitable) to start a new economy as the current one is
-
9/29/10 Midnight Report: To QE or not to QE – that is the already determined question
The market was relatively quiet today as QE2 continues to dominate the financial headlines like Pablo Picasso dominated the cubist scene in the early 1900s (and the current disjointed and broken market is perhaps an homage to the long gone cubists) or Eugene Fama dominated the Chicago school of thought in the 1970s with his
-
9/28/10 Midnight Report: Market stimulated by QE2 rumor. Rumor is that unlike that cocktease QE1, QE2 will provide happy ending
The market climbed today as investors all bet on the Fed continuing to manipulate its balance sheet like like RuPaul manipulates his/her junk in a gaff (and the things Money McBags had to look at while searching for that term/pic on the internet shall never be mentioned, so please laugh at that joke for the

9/27/10 Midnight Report: M&A market remains hotter than Sasha Grey in Grand Theft Anal (though with slightly less hair pulling)
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

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
-
9/22/10 Midevening Report: Market down as Bernanke’s mixed signals cause it to question whether he “likes” or “like likes” it
The market was up briefly in the morning before investors could pull themselves away from watching NSFW art films (and Money McBags does not know the plot of that film but believes it is about the unbelievably wonderful place people in heaven go to after they die in heaven) and realize that the emperor has

9/21/10 Midevening Report: Fed pushes stimulus off until later, prefers to get drunk first and find their anal beads
The market was quiet for most of the day in anticipation of a statement from the FOMC where it was thought Bennie B. may let his hair down (pun completely intended) and talk honestly (and yes that was sarcasm) about the stagnant recovery. In the end though, the Fed just gave us more of the
