A SPX oddity - Fortress style

“2001 - a  SPX Oddity" grew to become the David Bowie song a 'SPX oddity' But it is all the more pertinent with a Mr Mike Novogratz having his fund at Fortress closed down. So this is for him.

Risk Control to Major Mike

Risk Control to Major Mike

Take your pro-plus pills

And put your best trade on.

Risk Control to Major Mike

Commencing countdown,

Euroswiss on

Czech/Brazilian 

Don’t let the markets f*k with you

[spoken]

AUM - Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One… 

This is Risk Control

To Major Mike

You've really bust the trade

The SEC want to know whose shirt to tear

Now it's time to leave the company

If you care

This is Major Mike to Risk Control

I'm stepping on the floor

But the price is floating

In a most peculiar way

And the stocks look very different today

For here

In my really shit position

Far above the bid

Markets have the flu

But I don’t own the skew

nah nanah nanah nah nah

Though I'm passed

Three hundred million bucks

I'm feeling very ill

And I think my hedge fund knows which way I'll go

Tell my broker, I never liked him much

he knows.

Risk Control to Major Mike

The options dead

The expiry's gone 

Can you hear me, Major Mike?

Can you hear me, Major Mike?

Can you hear me, Major Mike?

Can you....

Here am I floating

Round the wine bars

Far away from funds

I don’t know what to do

Maybe guest on Channel 2?
