“Bozo the MSM Clown”… Sad, Happy… Awe Struck???

I had a little fun in an interlude segment before getting back down to the nuts and bolts in NFTRH 858 last weekend. All photos by way of cnbc.com:

Sad Trader/Happy Trader

As the stock market finds some sentiment relief, let’s take a moment for some unbelievably funny comic relief (at least for me, a guy who really enjoys the psych side of markets). Compliments of cnbc.com, comes this fellow, who you just know is going to live on in the lexicon of NFTRH and its reliance on imagery, nicknames and all sorts of other colorful aspects of this dismal science.

This may be the damn funniest thing I have ever seen. That is because the mainstream financial media is one of the most consistently funny things I have ever seen. But it’s also instructive of what the public is being fed. Reinforced negative on a bad market day and positive on a good one. I love the red numbers looming over Sad Trader and the green ones behind Happy Trader.

LO freaking L, CNBC. Thank you.

As an aside, if you have a funny idea about what I can name him, I’ll consider it. He’s my new pet.

Today a subscriber sent this along. Meet Awe Struck Trader.

Awe struck trader doesn’t have red tickers or green tickers behind him. I guess that signifies the confused state of the markets this week.

So Sad Trader, Happy Trader, Awestruck Trader… it’s all “Bozo the MSM Clown” Trader, according to the subscriber/emailer. Thank you sir for helping me build out the latest imagery for NFTRH and NFTRH.com to use in helping me keep from being bored, while either annoying or entertaining you, or wasting your time.

As a side note, I wonder if this poor guy knowingly provides these money shots for CNBC, or if they’ve got him pegged as “must see” and “must snap” on any given market day because he’ll reliably emote the sentiment profile they want to project on any given day.

Either way, he’s now a “Stock” Trader, as in photo availability.
