Attempt To Topkill Stock-EUR Correlation Suffers Massive Failure, Resulting Sewage Floods Permabullish Pundits

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The attached chart demonstrates conclusively (and hilariously) just how impotent stocks are, especially on days when even the Liberty 33 crew is in Long Island, in every attempt to break the magnetic EUR correlation. The attempted decoupling that started around 2 hours prior to the close, in which stocks were praying that the EUR correlation desks would follow into the close and just melt up following Atari's cavalry charge into the weekend, broke with 5 minutes to go, as stocks ended exactly where the EURUSD said they would, and very much the opposite of where Michelle Caruso-Cabrera and Bob Pisani were hoping they would (which would be relevant if the pair actually had any credibility still left to be torn down).

Also, on the chart below, note how every time there would be an uptick in the EURJPY, stocks would exagerate the move by a factor of 5. It appears the HFTs are now flatly losing the game. Last but not least, 5 minutes before the close, Goldman's Joseph Cohenites released a hike in their S&P EPS estimates for both 2010 and 2011, from 76 to 78 for the first, and from 90 to 93 for the second. Again - failure.

Ha, "the pair" would be an appropriate handle for MCC all by her lonesomes.

At lunch they had 4 or 5 boxes going and all but MCC were involved in the conversation.  She just sat there and made pouty lip gestures and stuck her chest out once she realized she was on camera.

MCC reads ZH and is bummed ROBO doesn't find her attractive. She is so fucking stupid that all she has left is her tits.

So my contribution at 2:22 am is that MCC STFU permanently. She may have a set of balls but they are used to shut people up with intelligent things to say. She needs to get into a little red car and drive off a cliff into the Hudson and do us all a favor.

"is that MCC STFU permanently. She may have a set of balls but they are used to shut people up with intelligent things to say."

Agreed.

I found myself walking by the TV yesterday...and was suddenly transfixed (mouth agape) by the this bit of nonsense from her;

"I find this word "austerity" so, anticeptic. I mean, what they should say is we are cutting your pay, cutting your pensions, cutting your unemployment..."

She really has no clue as she sits there day after day with her head bobbing up and down like some toy dog in the back window of a car.

They don't get it, do they? The longer they hold the stocks at such ridiculous valuations, the more shorts will pile in and the more money they will make. The tide has turned, everyone stupid enough to buy has bought already and the bears are in control now.

Sounds like the top kill and junk shots have failed.  BP will be required to wait until Barry O'Potus has left the scene before they announce the failure, so as to not stain the President.

The disclosure statement for this Whitehouse should read, "Long blame, short responsibility."

  They wont say anything until after Memorial Day because they do not want people gathering the BBQ & Pool talking about the failure but it has failed. More politics and games as evident by the "We will know in 48 hours". Trust me they know now.

A couple of fuckin clowns were dragged out on Good Morning America (not that I watch the dross, it was just kind of playing in the background when I woke) on Tuesday or Wednesday, encouraging the sheep to "invest in equities for the LONG term, as NO OTHER asset class will EVER give you the return equities will"

They were actually advocating equities over CD's/cash ("no return at the moment", obviously neglecting the fact that "principal" is "return" in our deflation), I couldn't believe these idiots. I wonder how much responsibility they will take for the shearing the sheep will receive in the next 12mths?

The other day someone posted info on another Icelandic volcano: Laki.  When Laki blew in 1783, it became "the year without a summer" and there were crop failures all over the world.  People in the British Isles (Scotland and Ireland perhaps) were killed by poison gas (probably H2S).

You're being too harsh on MCC. I find her better than most on CNBC. She nails a guest using talking points by demanding a yes or no. She is attractive and statuesque, and didn't need that eyelift a year or so ago. On assignment in Latin America, she looks damn good sweating and without studio makeup. She is extremely intelligent and bilingual about So. American foreign affairs, and her reporting down there seems on point. The last Venezuela report case in point.
