Concurrent Flight To Risk/Safety Continues
With stocks trying desperately to close green again on no volume, bond yields are plunging, as investors have no clue what asset class to put money in, so they buy everything, knowing all too well that Bernanke is hell bent on using his brand new M61 Vulcan on every single dollar bill he sees from now until America is officially bankrupt.

Low volume?
Cores or people? Some guy taking down a few robot servers for maintenace or traders taking a nap?
This HTF crap makes the market an enigma wrapped in a mystery, the least they could do is start qualifying this stuff somehow, robot activity should be flagged, identified and reported for what it is.
"now until America is officially bankrupt."
NO, America CURRENTLY is officially BKed, the question is how many future generation IS officially BKed... I'd say we are in the 3rd, maybe Bermonkey will do 10th inning before DXY goes to ZERO...
When will this madness end....?
WILL IT EVER END?
no, it won't. The federal government is so intertwined with the FED that america itself will default on it's soveriegn debt before the larger banking institutions go bankrupt. It's simply built into the system.
wonder if the robots will spur a sequel to 1987 soon. All that legendary sideline cash might just be waiting to sell the market. Not buy it
Inadvertent junk click there Sardonicus, sorry about that. But I would really like to know what robots are doing vs. what the peeps are doing.
You should be able to click again and de-junk the post

THE QUICKEST WAY TO FORCE BANKS TO LIQUIDATE THEIR SHAOW INVENTORY IS TO HAVE A RUN ON THEIR DEPOSITS! iN SUCH SECENARIO, BANKS WILL HAVE TO LIQUIDATE WHATEVER ASSETS ON THEIR BALANCE SHEETS & PAY THE DEPOSITORS!!!
& I SUSPECT THE ENTIRE BANKING SYSTEM CAN'T EVEN MEET 50% OF THE DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL OBLIGATION COZ THOSE TOXIC ASSETS & INVENTORIES ARE WORTHLESS!!!
NOW WHO SAY MTM IS NOT IMPT???
CURSE TO THE BANKSTERS!
Below is the reply from the chick who made the debtors revolt video that went viral last week. She basically says the same in it. I hope this one goes viral too.

Is there a correlation between the Money Market Guarantee program coming to an end on Friday and the short end of the yield curve? That is, slowing backing out of Money Markets, saying, "don't make any sudden moves, shhh, don't wake any of the others, almost there..."?
What the heck should I invest in? My US cash is losing value daily, gold is too expensive, oil is due for another crash IMHO, stocks are too expensive. Canadian dollar fund? Some other metal besides gold?
McDonalds (MCD).
too much debt for my comfort
You should be able to mark up Chinese tires by 35% soon.
buy'em whilst ya can find'em!
Why is your US cash losing value? My observation is that the prices of almost everything have been falling, with the recent addition of food, and soon to be joined by gas.
Of course, I'm not fond of inflation by any means, but at least for the last two years inflation has been a largely accounting artifact. A massive decline in house _prices_ is not a part of CPI. To help alleviate that rents began falling, too.
Long term, inflation is indeed an issue, but not today, or even the next year. Each day my dollars become more valuable. That should be the case for you too, unless you hold some other dollars..
Gold and/or Silver. They are cheap, not expensive.
Just watched Christina Romer interviewed on Bloomberg - from questions on too big to fail to the China/protectionism issue; she responded (as she always does) to every question in her cheerfully pleasant way "everything will be just fine"
I have to imagine that behind that "Raggedy-Ann" like countenance, Christina Romer is one hard ass piece of work.
Aaaaand, S&P is positive.
On a related note, I thought this might be of interest - it may portend of things to come. It is the history and consequences of the German hyperinflationary depression in the 1920's. I believe this was penned almost 10 years ago, but seems to have updated economic data thru GW's tenure. It is a long read, but in my opinion well worth the time spent.

" WE WILL NOT GO BACK TO THE DAYS OF WRECKLESS BEHAVIOR AND UNCHECKED EXCESS....."
Yeah.......like all the bad boy behavior is in the rear view mirror for good.
How can you return to a place you never left, anyway ??

If the finance industry isn't careful Obama's going to give them a hard glare. And if they're really, really bad he may wag a finger at them.
Did anyone just see that vertical takeoff which took the Dow into the green?? I trust TD may have a new post coming!
How could you miss it? SPY is the same deal. Check out EURJPY intraday today - R-sq back in play, at least today.
