The difference between Bernanke and a Cocaine Dealer

It was well past midnight, but everyone was still partying.  Although the booze and drugs were running low, the party was still in full swing.  The entire school was there. Real estate alphas, derivative betas, the car club and who could forget about the speculator zetas.  As sunrise approached everyone was starting to get tired. Some people were even talking about calling it a night and going home.

That was until a good lad Ben Bernanke kicked in the door and yelled  “I got it, let’s party”.  As he opened his duffle bag and emptied the contents on the couch, everyone in the house went wild. There it was. Two kilos of pure Columbian coke. More than enough for everyone.  The party was back on.

As the clock hit 9 am, the house was surprisingly silent.  When the campus police opened the door there were bodies everywhere. Some were laying there motionless and not breathing, some were simply passed out, some were twitching while others sat silently staring at the wall.  As the medical examiner took the bodies out, it was not till much later that the cause of the tragedy was revealed.  For most, there was simply too much coke that night. 

If you are wondering, that is exactly what happened in the stock market today.
