France Taps 10M Barrels of Diesel Reserves

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWelcome to Bull versus Bear. Benzinga, citing France Info, reports France will release ten million barrels of diesel from its reserves. Vera, you're up.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBullish! France opened the pantry because the economy is hungry, and the S and P is still at seven thousand eight hundred. Calm, Hank. Calm.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSupply is coming, prices cool, and trucks keep rolling. Releasing a reserve is like a bakery giving out free bread. Everybody wins, except gluten.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFree bread, Vera? A government opening the emergency cellar is the bakery admitting the ovens are on fire. Magnificent.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNobody taps ten million barrels of diesel because things are lovely. That's a nation selling the family silver to pay for the heating.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFor the record, DATA doesn't say why France is doing this. Everything from here is opinion. Vera, rebut.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale sees a fire in every oven. Diesel is a gift, Hank. The Russell is down one point one percent and I'm still glowing.

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorGlowing is what radiation does, Vera. The ten-year is at five point two nine two percent. The bond market is whispering and you're humming.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe bond market whispers every day and Dale writes it down like a medium at a séance. Spooky, but wrong.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMy séance predicted nine of the last two recessions, Vera. Yours predicted a whale with allergies. Tell me who the medium is.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorStop. The VIX is fifteen point three, up one point nine percent. Investors are mildly concerned, like a man hearing a noise downstairs.

12. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMildly concerned is a buying mood, Hank. Dale, your doom is just a leaky tire with a British accent.

13. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA leaky tire needs diesel, Vera, and France just ran out of patience. I'm having the best day of my life.

14. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDesk verdict: France has a very large gas can, and both of you are standing too close to it with lit cigars. Nobody wins.

15. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMoving on.
