Profiling Abby Joseph “The Oracle” Cohen’s fall out of the financial cheerleading tree, CNBC’s JeeYeon Park managed to hit (and break) every metaphoric branch on the way down. Between the two of them, no rhetorical equity booster is left unbowed, including:
“…held up during the difficult portion of the recession.” (It being all behind us now, this is clearly a safe observation, right?)
“…new bull market.” (a/k/a “It’s different this time.” a/k/a “A new paradigm.”)
“…stocks should likely perform better than bonds.” (Should likely).
“…not only good, but fabulous by comparison.” (Thanks for asking!)
“…staircase pattern.” (Stairway to heaven, one assumes).
“…job losses were slowing.” (The precious second derivative decline. Thank the maker!)
“…unlikely to turn all at one [sic] or on a dime.” (Bit dangerous to put Titanic references in an otherwise positive pump job, but we digress…)
Being the aesthetics that we know you to be, we’ve decided to give you a chance to hone your literary and poetic skills in the comfort of your own deskchair. Yes, a contest.
Best haiku using as much of Cohen’s unique vocabulary as syllapossible gets to vote on our new fall intern. Scoring will be completely arbitrary, unfair and primarily focused on creative use of words and phrases like “fabulous” and “V-Shaped.”
Go!
Stocks in ‘New Bull Market,’ But Climb Will Be Slow: Cohen [CNBC]
EP, I’ve got a Drake’s coffee cake for you if you can bring back Bess to finish out the week tomorrow.
Being the aesthetics that we known you to be…?
Sorry, but aesthetics is a branch of philosophy. You don’t kn us to be a branch of philosophy. If that is what you think we are, you are mistaken.
You may have meant that you know us to be aesthetes, people who have “or who profess to have refined sensitivity toward the beauties of art or nature.”
Still a tad heavy-handed in the irony department, but at least that would make for a coherent sentence.
I love this (paraphrased):
Last year sucked ass, so when we get to the end of this year, people will be so stupid they’ll say, “wow, upside!”
Way to go.
The title “Take the Plunge” with a picture of the charming, but-less-than-chubby-inducing AbJoCo made me throw up in my mouth.
But just a little.
To EP:
Climb the Upward Steps
Into a New Paradigm
Lost Track of the Facts
— Greenwich Short Seller.
that is one ugly man
that is one handsome woman
I hate that guy.
Wow, EP. Talk about LAZY!
Hope you are not being paid to do this and are doing this as a favor to BL/DB, for getting you through some tough times.
A New Bull Market
A resurgent economy
Stairs to stock heaven
Market climbs worry wall
Stocks should beat bonds in long run
Someone kick record player
Cohen’s bulls are out
Don’t expect to find a V
Those are goldman sachs’
Cohen’s bulls are out
Don’t expect to find a V
Those are goldman sachs’
Cohen’s bulls are out
don’t expect to find a V
those are goldman sachs’
Fabulous Q4
AbJoCo’s V makes me sick

Hey Equity Private
How about a performance update on your Obama/”first analyst” portfolio? It’s been awhile.
Ah, staircase pattern!
All that remains
Of the the difficult portion.
–
Job losses slowing.
Unlikely to turn
but fabulous by comparison.
a new paradigm
should likely perform better

AJC Haiku
*************
I saw it coming
Then it fell eight thousand points
Dow Sixteen thousand!
Caption: Hisss. I will eat your soul!
They want the “V” shape
But they must climb my stair steps
To get the “Fabulous”!
No conspiracy
Our hive is simply V shaped
Futile to resist
What the fuck is this
A haiku for every post
English class is done
Wow, a post about AJC without mentioning Goldman Sachs, impressive EP.
16 here @18, you uncircumcised louse, rules were made for weaker moments.
Duh, @24
Don’t milk a “cow” with one teat!
You did not like school
Let’s not look backwards
This time I know I am right
Stocks will likely rise
did not @24
read the last paragraph well?
Haiku was assigned
Abbey is a bull
Pumping and pimping all day
While Goldman front runs.
Hairy vagina
Untamed, wild beast of Goldman
A queef in the wind
Eighty Percent Off
my oh-eight S&P close
I suck d*ck at this
@27/@29 – was not questioning why there were haikus. was pointing out that this isn’t english class…I would rather a contest for the best not from greg’s mom.
Cluzo….you must have had a rough day. Take off the black leather zippered head mask and spit out the red gag ball. You deserve a break. Take one!

No favors. She needs the money. Plus charity is against her religion. And playing the Obama Portfolio short didn’t help her one bit.
I’d hit that.

“The precious second derivative decline. Thank the maker!”
Don’t you mean first derivative?

Old sweater is gone
New suit, same Bull

16 @ 18/43 Ha!
Seriously, though, forget what your third-grade teacher said. She can’t hurt you any more. Go read some R. H. Blyth.
EP: Are you going to pick a winner?
18 @16-
haiku really scarred you somehow, huh?
did you get nervous and pee your pant in front of the class when you had to read yours or something?
Abby J. Cohen
Is a worthy Strategist
But EP is not.
Seriously, spare us the editorializing. What were those parentheticals supposed to do? Make us laugh at how much smarter you are than Goldman Sachs’ Senior Investment Strategist? At people who aren’t as bearish as you?
This isn’t an investment newsletter. Stick to the gossip and news, spare us your windbaggy opinions.
For the record, I really like your posts when you do that.
The bulls they are a-comin’
So says AbJoCo of Gold
The public takes the load
Why can’t I have some
Regulatory capture
Of my very own?
To the girls in the back office at 18, 43, 47, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all your hard work.
Here’s an olive branch:
Ah, staircase pattern!
Of the the difficult portion,
all that now remains.
Job losses slowing —
Fabulous comparison,
unlikely to turn.
