metals soften.

foisted hot rolled steel,
faces mettle task, shrinking
demand cools ma'anshan.

the piper of GS

a darting lemming,
shyly offers issuance;
a sly, coaxing fox.

Having a weekend chat with the feds.

underbelly sinks,
snarling lava pit spits, fumes,
c quivers, shudders.

unsettled angers
seek calm; absorption of losses
ain't lozenge enough.

A bite of big Mac

with canny poise, squeaked
leverage wobbles see-saw,
unfairly perhaps

hints of grey cygnets,
cloud sombre market tantrums;
terra calma yearned.

the sting of stingy

mid-east flight stirs buzz,
hornets of investors glare
at diluted hive.

C of job cuts

merry-go-round twists,
jobs are jettisoned, stable
orbit is longed, sought..

squawking over billions in monies.

tarp allocation,
weaves raspy money thread thru'
nation's home fabric

Fund Mangers and restrictions.

broods of reps huddle,
a rookerie of black crows
narrows wary eyes,

struggles brew dark smoke,
claws like scythes, they parry, scratch
o'er regulation.

pundits put pressure on.. err...

unwelcome scorn, digs
trenches of furrowed thought, rock
steady now baby

MS experiences an evolution

MS universe
crunches from bubble; rejig
void furrows concern

We aren't buying that anymore...

retreat from purchase,
signals rook-stumble, as hank
realigns chess board.

nothing wrong with GS-1701

starship enterprise,
speeds through aethered space, despite
quantum time bubble

hunting.. hunting.. hunting..

looking for chow mein,
wach got quite mutilated,
werewolves prowl again

Oil nears recession price?

a twist for black gold;
oil rises & slinks away,
spooked by dark specter

MS' thoughts on GS' thoughts

when you flap mid-flight,
you take your pally cygnet,
with you on the dive.

threading a rate cut thru a needling recession.

unsewing bank purse;
threadneedle snips, untwining
central bank's sinews

Wells Fargo collecting monies.

stock raises haute couture;
parading on catwalks with
balance sheets to match.

UBS money outflows slowing.

swiss gauze helps fix holes,
reversal of withdrawals
becomes a new hope.

uncertainty over goldies..

first past the post posts
first of losses post bailout
perhaps; last we hope.

what a month..

ending uptick-ish
we remember november,
fireworks on fifth.
