To the tune of "My Favorite Things"
Oscillating markets for day trading profits,
Wild trading swings and political temper fits,
Currencies acting as though mounted on springs,
These are a few of my favorite things!
Commodities flowing like there is no tomorrow.
Bankers are bleeding from reluctance to borrow.
The world economy's running on greasy rails,
governments are toppling in middle eastern hells!
U.S.A. elections are coming up in the next year
If the politicians in power lose, then who will shed a tear?
Turmoil the world round might make a new day,
do I care about it? Why ever should I say?
When the bells sounds,
at trading's end,
will you come up short?
We made our bets
in trading today,
and now we don't give
a fig!
