Art Cashin Video Warning About 1987 Similarities Pulled In Favor Of Jarvis Market Commentary

Tyler Durden's picture




In an article on cnbc.com which covers Art Cashin's observations between the "eerie" similarities of the current market and the exponential ramp in the Spring and Summer of 1987 (and we all know how that ended), the video that accompanies it and is supposed to show Art Cashin's real time ruminations was replaced with an overlay of Rebecca Jarvis discussing market headlines. Obviously, this is merely a glaring technical glitch at the GE subsidiary.

The highlights from the article (which one hopes will not be pulled):

“I’m still somewhat skeptical about this [market],” said Cashin. “I’ve
been wrong—got out too early. I took some money off the table a few
weeks ago—didn’t take it all off.”

“There’s just some eerie things about this—it’s reminiscent of spring
and summer of ‘87 when nobody believed the rally and it kept going up
despite skepticism, people shorting into it,” he said. “It ate them
alive until it suddenly turned.”

Always better to keep these things under wraps of course, and not provide some clip that could go viral in a matter of minutes.

We hope CNBC promptly rectifies this error.

The Dept. of Media and Propaganda is the most efficient Gov't entity out there, highly motivated and full of initiative. They should start training the other agencies.

Looks like Art may be in need of some rehabilitation. The old man is talking heresy.

Got to love YRCW.  Probably out of business next year when they have to start paying back into the pension.

But the whole DOW TRANS kills me.  The index makes pumping crap like Fannie and Freddie look like child's play.

Obviously Art will be visiting a Sheinhardt Wig Company sponsored (rehabilitation camp) retreat soon enough.

Just a badly worded piece.  It's actually called "Active Death Help" for terminally ill patients and is not for people who are a tad depressed this week.

"Nostalgia Is Not What It Used To Be – A group of veteran traders watched the market rally yet again and puzzled at the process.  Most of these veterans have felt for some time that the March rally has gotten well ahead of the economy.  The conversation began to drift toward possible parallels to the action.  That’s when the shoe was dropped.

 

One trader asked his fellows to recall the spring and summer of 1987.  Then, too, rising prices were treated to skepticism on the floor and elsewhere.  Senior specialists cautioned their juniors “not to fall in love with the rally.”  Yet as prices moved steadily higher and higher, the juniors speculated that the seniors were out of touch.  The slogan became – you don’t sell strength – you buy strength.  And, so they did.  The trader recalled that two key topics in ’87 were the dollar and Iran.

 

One younger broker passed by an asked what was the topic.  I replied – “We’re recalling ’87.”  He looked me in the eye and said – “Was that 1887 or 1987?”  That’s when the meeting broke up."

Haha. Once they have control of health care they can fix these things. All they gotta do is send someone to a doctor to be misdiagnosed and then treat them to death. Just use the types of doctors that have been running around saying everyone has skin cancer that comes to their office and wants to make $10,000 a day.

Then you can present "reasonable" explanations to a young and impressionable population.

That says it all...

 

I said to my husband today that we will in fact repeat many of the same ridiculously stupid things we are in the process of saving ourselves from now if we even have one penny left over when this finally breaks...he said no way, we couldn't really do the same things again, I mean they wouldn't repeat the same mistakes.  Really, repeat that to yourself slowly and see if you can convince yourself that we aren't doomed to attempt to repeat the same nasty cycle we've been in a long time.

No he hasn't...he clearly expected and participated in the rally.  He's just been cautious that it is too extended since the mid summer.

 

Let me guess, are you under 30?

I think Denis Kneale has been moved to the web programming dept or it was just a honest mistake.  If you go the video page Ms. Jarvis's report is to the left of Art Cashins video which would lead me to believe someone goofed.

So instead of profiting from a crash all at once. They are simply using HFT to eat anyone who nakes shorts it?

Big difference, the TED spread flashed warning signals prior to the crash.  Currently, manipulated or not, it's at a new low.

Anything involving spreads will not give singals since HFT and FLASH massage the spreads to confusion.

already aware of 3 peaks, dome theory.  seems to me that we are right at the top of the dome. 

daneric had an interesting chart on his site recently analyzing action of double tops since autumn 2007 which is notable.

Well, today was probably Art's last day on CNBC -I'll miss him.   Maybe Dylan Ratigan or Jeff Macke can hook Art up with something.  

Mark Haines better watch his back, too.  He hasn't been real positive lately.

Eric Gleacher after the John Mack interview on cnbc (at 5:05):

"John Mack was just on here. He said he was on the brink. It wasn't any different from Lehman. What's different was that someone decided that Lehman was gonna go and Morgan Stanley was gonna stay."

Of course, no follow-up questions on that statement. Gotta go.......
