IT WAS THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS IN MLP LAND,
HOLDINGS WERE WAVING NECK DEEP IN QUICKSAND.
SPENDING A YEAR SINKING DOWN IN THE PIT,
PORTFOLIO VALUES ALL TAKING A HIT,
BUT NOW WE APPROACH THE END OF THE YEAR,
FOR NONE THAT I KNOW SHED BARELY A TEAR.
NAT GAS AND CRUDE CONTINUE TO SINK,
CUTS IN THE PAYOUTS ARE COMING I THINK!
FOR NOW THE FUTURE SEEMS RATHER QUITE BLEAK,
THE MARKETS I FEAR CONTINUE TO LEAK,
SOMEDAY THIS HORROR WILL COME TO AN END
THE PATH INTO HELL WILL COME TO A BEND
AND THE TURN WILL START HIGHER IN TWO THOUSAND NINE
PERHAPS IN A YEAR THINGS WILL FEEL FINE.
SO DON'T BE SO SAD. WE ALL TRY TO COPE,
MAYBE NEXT YEAR WILL GIVE US SOME HOPE!


Okay it ain't Shakespeare but its early in the morning and i'm still wiped out from yesterday. Overeating makes me poetic. I hope everyone's Christmas was one to remember. This morning we have maybe the seeds of a post Christmas rally. Today is the last day you can sell for 2008 cash settlement so we should see some end of year pressure coming off the market later today. And then we have only 3 days left to trade in this miserable year. No corporate developements and no upgrades or downgrades this morning. I'm not expecting too much to happen today. Crude and nat gas are higher this morning which should give energy stocks some support.

Heading to the gym to work off yesterday's calories. I will check in later. A sign off the times. I workout at Ballys which is in chapter 11. You can't watch tv when you workout anymore because the company didn't pay its satellite bill. Oh well. There is always the ipod.
