S&P 500 - Cover Your Ears

I was taking a walk in the forest this morning, enjoying the pleasant tweeting of birds and musing at the occasional squirrel that would flitter by, when my eyes caught a glimpse of men, far off in the distance, wearing red flannel shirts and heavy blue overalls. The more I strained to see them I began to hear the faint sound of a chain saw......and saw some gray smoke kinda floating in the air beside them. Hummm.... I guess they are loggers - earning a day's wage cutting down the beautiful tall evergreen trees in the forest.
*
But as I neared closer to them, I began to make out their faces. Gee, they looked familiar.
*
I've see these guys before. Somewhere. I just know it. But I am just not sure where.
*
They kinda remind me of this bunch of institutional money managers I once watched at the floor of the NYSE. Nah.  Could not possibly be the same guys. Impossible.
*
The sound of the chain saws grows louder as I continue nearer.  Then, all of the sudden, the sound just stops. Curious.
*
Incredible - the men are covering their ears with their hands. I see several crouching down, others scurrying to take cover behind their huge truck. Heck, what is going on?
*
Maybe a tree is about to fall?
*
Yes, I'll betcha that's it!
*
Then I hear a loud cry from the man with the shiny gold hard hat - he obviously does not do any work as his hands are too clean, his clothes too perfectly pressed.

Timberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
