Concurrent Flight To Risk/Safety Continues

Tyler Durden's picture




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.

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

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.

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.

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.

— President Barack Obama sternly warned Wall Street Monday against returning to the sort of reckless and unchecked behavior that threatened the nation with a second Great Depression.

 

Even as he noted the U.S. economy and financial system were pulling out of a downward spiral, Obama warned financial titans on Monday – the first anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse – they could not count on any more bailouts.

 

His tough message warned the financial community to "hear my words: We will not go back to the days of reckless behavior and unchecked excess at the heart of this crisis, where too many were motivated only by the appetite for quick kills and bloated bonuses."

               ----Barack Obama, Sept. 14, 2009, from Associated Press 

 

"We will embrace this rebellion. You will support it from our lands in the north while I gain English favor by condemning it, and ordering it opposed from our lands in the south. Sit down. Stay a while."

           ---Robert Bruce the Senior, BRAVEHEART
