Ode to Trichet

Now with the markets completely paralysed after the interest rate announcements, I can only sing this Ode to this man, on whom my shorts depend:


Trichet! Trichet! Trichet, my love
Trichet the hawk, Trichet the dove
Will you tame, Trichet, the Euro for me?
Will you kill, with your words, the insanity?

Trichet! Trichet! Please listen to me
Tomorrow the dollar will win verily
for bernanke has gone where you dared not tread
And the world no more fears the USD

But trichet, if you listen, the market will know
that you care for exporters, and care for the growth
And the euro, oh dearest trichet, must fall
Or the day it shall fall, it will shatter the earth

Trichet! Trichet! Will you listen to me?
Can you listen to reason 'fore calamity?

And not 30 seconds later, Euro falls 40 pips.

Thank you, Trichet! Trichet: merci

Ahem. Spoke too soon? It was the damn US data though, not lovely Trichet.

No poems for the reversal? Maybe a limmerick?

brilliant!

Patience. The day has not ended. I'm expecting the reaction to US data to be very short lived.

Plutonite that was actually a good poem LOL did you write that?

i will be sure to say this prayer, er, i mean poem, whenever i am in need of the old man's help.

Yes, delusional as I was at the time, I actually made it up on the spot. I think it was a combination of not sleeping or eating for a lnog time. Another one coming soon to describe the disgraceful retrace.

im impressed!! seriously! looking forward to the next

i sometimes wish there were a "Daily Show" about the financial markets, this may be the closest we come

Thats a BRILLIANT idea, a daily show for the markets. Just like the political spectre they would have no shortage of jokes and asses.

Meantime he is scribbling ..

the euro
but a fibre
a fragment of our existance
in exchange for fortunes every day

thought reaping rewards for shorters
then jacko came
and long he went
and took their profits all away

and somewhere in this thing we say "Trichet"

limerick hm not sure about the structure, but..

how bout:

--
there was a pair called fibre
which was completely hyper
it fell to the floor
then ran to the door
bit pluto's butt just like a viper

And the traders, they thought all was swell
for Trichet the Magnificent did well
and a good NFP,
all was fine as can be
but the charts had to fscking rebel
