Another J-Lo Bottom

RobotTrader's picture




Yet another bear shakeout engineered by the GS and MS Prop Desks, as the NYA breaks the 50-day intraday, only to see it curl right back around to blast off again.  Led none other than the common shares of Goldman Sachs.

Sorry, this tape is getting boring.  Same patterns playing out over and over.  Stocks heavily targeted by aggressive shorts were powerballed late in the day:

Sell down stocks, push down interest rates, issue another gigantic load of Treasury Debt, then as soon as the auctions are over, goose stocks again.

And don't forget the gold and oil smashing, lest anyone be slightly concerned with "inflation" or "asset bubbles".

Its all perfectly choreographed, by manipulating the EUR/USD meatball.

Lots of stocks which looked like they were going to crash got J-Lo'd off the lows...

 

 

I'll be back later today and see if I can post some more charts..

LOL, don't forget the private equity J-curve. Goldman loves it once performance fees kick in.

It was slightly different,  AMZN didn't go to 150.

That last video has long written all over it - long, sexy legs! On a serious note, one portfolio manager I know keeps telling me 3M is the best run American company. He's a hardass but really likes this company and its management.
