All Hail the Saviour

Hallelujah! Today is the day the evil short sellers in Asia get their arse kicked and their heads handed to them on a platter. This has already happened in Europe and the US yesterday. Oh! the pleasure, the fun in seeing them getting killed! This ritualistic cleansing of the market of this evil of short sellers is necessary to maintain the balance of the system.

Talking of balance, it is said in Hindu scriptures that God has promised    "Yada Yada hi Dharmasya, glanir Bhavati Bharata, Abhyutthanam adarmasya tadatmanam srijamyaham. Paritranaya sadhunam, vinasaya cha duskritam, Dharma samthapanarthaya, Sambhavami yuge yuge" In case you are one of those who like me do not understand its meaning, I will attempt to copy its meaning from wikipedia!

"Whenever the balance of the Universe is disturbed by the excess of evil, then I reveal myself as the cleansing force. For the protection of the good and destruction of the evil, I incarnate myself millenium after millenium."

For the markets, BIG BEN played the role of the saviour and also the slayer of evil (read short sellers) all the way from 2008 to around the time of QE2. Since then he seems to have given up on that role. This emboldened evil to raise its head once again. Just when one thought that there is no hope left and that evil can run roughshod over all of us, God proved that he has not forsaken us. He incarnated in the form of Draghi and has again played the role of slayer of evil.

The only problem in this is that the promise of God in the Hindu scripture was to incarnate only once every millenium. The way the market is currently, He is being forced to incarnate with increasing regularity! Who knows? If the good (read the govts and the people) continue in their good old ways, we might even actually be able to test the limit of His seemingly unlimited power!

Ok, just to be clear about where I stand, evil is far more interesting than the insipid good! I am short and am remaining short until 5178 is crossed on the futures! At that point I ditch evil and turn into a good boy!
