Comfortable Merry! – The Massive Image

Artwork Cashin is a Wall Avenue treasure, and his annual shares are all the time appreciated. That is his December twenty third commentary.

Comfortable Merry!

‘Tis two days earlier than Christmasand at every brokerage home

The one factor stirringwas the clicking of a mouse

Down on the Exchangethe tape inches alongside

Brokers bargained and tradedas they hummed an outdated music

With provide chain disruptionsfrom iPhones by socks

And new bugs got here to bug uslike that factor, Monkey Pox

The Astros took the Seriesand the Rams took the Bowl

Argentines gained the World Cup with a coronary heart stopping objective

We had a midterm electionbut it introduced no crimson tide

Voters even electedone man who had died

Of Prince Harry and Meghanher criticism by no means ends

Oh, positive they’re making moneybut they aren’t making buddies

A younger man advised reportersI was simply sloppy, I concern

A relatively glib explanationwhen billions disappear

And Hurricane Ianturned paradise into hell

Rising crime and inflationthey have been options as effectively

This yr was simply terrible with little to cheer

However it’s Christmastime Alice and Santa is close to

So, cease wanting backwardshave a cup of fine cheer

And kiss you a beloved oneraise your hopes for subsequent yr
