REVIEW: Fat Weasel Ale - A Day Trader’s Dream
By General German on Oct 29, 2007 in Brew Reviews
My friends - wishing you plenty of hoppiness (haha) on this, the anniversary of the Stock Market crash of 1929. While last week seemed like we were heading for another one, this week may prove better with an easing of interest rates by the Fed. You may wonder what in God’s name this has to do with beer? Well, not a lot, but I am interested in the history of the stock market, and I like to drink beer. Fat Weasel Ale was going for $5.99 on the shelves of Trader Joe’s and I simpered over the corpulent rodent trotting across the bottle. More after the jump.
Yes, indeed, Fat Weasel Ale has seen a heck of a day. It admonished the General’s buy of those calls…whoops, there goes 25% in about 60 minutes. Ah, but it did smile on the January options he bought last week, and evened him out. I guess that’s how to describe the beer — it all balances out in the end; no one gets hurt. She’s rough on you with the bitter hops, but the clear, almost lager-like texture reminds me of bubbly Sierra Nevada. The 7.1% also keeps you warm during this autumn weather.
Disclaimer: Do not trade like the General, or you will almost certainly lose money.
simpered? SIMPERED???
Well done, Sir. I actually had to look that one up. Simper Fi.

Soy! SOY! BUY SOY! NOWNOWNOW! Spend it all on soy while the Nikkei is down! NO, MAN, BUY IT ALL! YES! Good. Well spent, lads.
Well done… well done… now we shall sit back and smoke these corona-sized cigars with the tips dipped deftly in a snifter of port. That’s fine fino, old boy. Chuckles all around, yes? Good, good. Do try the foie gras. Not the best I’ve ever had but, at this time of year, still succulent. So say there, Hershel, I was reading a volume on Scipio Africanus t’other evening and… just a moment… what’s that you say Faber? The stocks have what? THE MARKET HAS WHAT!?!? Good lord… good lord… I… I must to the window to… think… fresh air… yes… fresh air… rushing past… soy? SOY!? What the f!ck was I thinking!?

Something seems fishy here… very fishy… if you’re really the Billie Joe Armstrong from the popular band Green Day, send me a picture of yourself with today’s newspaper, HallofBeers.com in the background, a guitar in hand and some sort of sandwich in the foreground. In fact, everyone who sees this, please send that to HallofBeers@hotmail.com and I’ll totally send you back coupons I clip out of the paper.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article s Dream, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

How insightful! First it’s spamming bastards hiding behind the auspices of Green Day, now they’ve taken the name of Daniel! BLAST!

Right…did Daniel really think I was drinking while trading MSFT’s calls last month? Not to mention, I only held on to this call for like 16 hours, then dumped it.
