I know it feels like a lot more. But the truth of the matter is, the chinese dog eaters and the samurai in Japan have enjoyed 2015 (+23%, +16%) at the expense of western markets, sans France. The froggies are up nearly 12%, with the Nazis a close second at around +10%.
Many of my friends and colleagues alike are texting me right now, from greasy Italian eateries in crime ridden cities, declaring their fervent opposition to US markets. These people, these deluded wastrels, will lose all of their dollars, AND MORE, should they choose to act on these foolish notions.
The United States of America, in conjunction with Dr. Benjamin Bernanke, hailing from Citadels darkest corner office, will lay waste to all of you bearshitters, persons of gross disinterest who found in their black hearts to bet against greatness.
Betting against the S&P 500 here, barely up 3% on the year, is like trading Nolan Ryan before he went on to become one of the greatest pitchers of all time.
You fuckers are the NY Mets!
As you were.
