This channel runs in the background just in case something gets said that piques the Monkey's interest. And causes him to pull up a chart and THEN think of cool shit to do. For example - "VXX now hits high for the year" during one of those market carnage days recently. Now of course the Monkey intuitively knows this is going on but might not have thought of it at the moment.
So there is your value in the financial press. Sometimes they say shit that reminds you to do something. Like get ready to short the VXX, which is as good a banana-making strategy as you are going to find on a day when the market is off 5%. Short it with ITM puts, that is, because crazy VXX spikes will ALWAYS pull back some point relatively soon. Look at the damn charts - it is obvious.
Where the value is NOT.... well, pretty much in listening to any analysis or what that gaping douchebag worthless cocksucker simpleton twat Joe Kernen has to say. How in the fuck can someone this stupid be from the Monkey's home state of Ohio? I mean, dumbshit is from Cincinnasti and all which basically is just Kentucky with less ugly license plates. But still.
Anyway, the other one the Monkey TRULY hates is that repulsive fascist hag drag-queen looking heifer Michelle Caruso-Cabrera. She may be the single ugliest chick on TV not named Anna Gunn.
And what particularly annoyed the Monkey this AM was when fright-mask Cabrera had to slag off on the Monkey's boy Dmitriy Medvedev. "He's short," says Caskankra with a dismissive snort. Hey skank! The President (de jure, anyway) of the Russian Federation thinks that you are a rapidly-aging, atrociously-ugly neo-nazi cow.
(Disclosure: Monkey has Russians in the family and has a framed picture of his boys Putin and Medvedev up on the wall of the cage.)
