POMO Begins As Brian Sack Kindly Asks Primary Dealers To Buy AAPL, AMZN, BIDU And NFLX

Tyler Durden's picture




 

POMO has started and the ramp is now in full force. We expect Brian Sack to give the green light to the PDs to take stocks into the green. About $3-4 billion in TIPS to be put to the Fed, and will be used to buy AAPL, AMZN, NFLX and BIDU. Full results of today's FRBNY market manipulation episode at the usual time and place.

The only arrow left is when things look bad in the market and getting worse, they just flush the toilet and watch the Dollar spin around the bowl long enough to prevent the S&P from tanking.

Yea true and true, however, the global finance and trade PTB's will not tolerate much more of this abusive "bigfoot" known as the US FED Chairwoman especially with a protectionist anti-trade Congress and President to boot. There was an $8 buying opportunity in Gold today, then poof, gone.

@rubearish10 : Uncle Greenspan has left the ship long whil ago. He´s the only one scared to death about the Gold surge. Maybe Deutsche Bank will pay him an extra bonus if he is shouting a bit louder ?

Look, there is no price discovery anymore.  What you are seeing are numbers printed on your terminal courtesy of the Fed.  They change in a heartbeat and no one believes them. The only confidence in this market is presented in the ads in the MSM so they can continue to shovel more shit out the door.

AAPL is down on the day at the time of writing - may have broken the straightline robot-created uptrend that we've seen recently - presumably on news of RIM's launch of an iPad competitor though RIM is also down.

I think they have so many sticks up their ass it takes them a minute to figure out which one to pull -- looks like they got the right one for a minute.  It'll be interesting to see if they can have any effect today (beyond the next 15 minutes of course).

There are some very well spoken people who do not believe the POMO results in increased equity prices; I have read a well reasoned article recently on the Pragmatic Capitalist arguing this point.

But how can anyone look at the market action this morning and have any doubts that POMO influences?  

Again this action seems to hold together the basic thesis of many years; DO NOT FIGHT THE FED!

Many on ZH speak of "kicking the can down the road."  I would agree with that analogy but until someone can define when the road ends, then going against the printers will be a losing game.  As for me, I see the road extending to the horizon with the end most likely at a point on the timeline where my earthly life will have long expired.

Good luck to the shorts and may God have mercy on your souls.

I do not understand why you have this infinite view of they fed being able to kick the can.  Everything is unravelling before our eyes these past couple of years.  Other sovereigns are starting to shun our debt, everyone is racing to devalue their currency to boost exports, and the general public is actually aware about the macro actions implications. 

We have entered the start of a new age that is building its foundation while the destruction of the old age is taking place.  Do not think for a second that the can kicking will last much longer now, especially since the middle class is nearly destroyed with falling/stagnant income and commodities flying off the charts.  So no, this will not last to the horizon.  I give the current MO about 5 years as a 3 standard deviation move, but more realistically I give it 2 to 3 years.  Nothing, not even the universe, lasts forever.  Everything is finite and the fiat system is no different.

actually, what pragcap argues is that QE does not provide any meaningful support to real economy, is counter productive, and that asset prices ultimately reflect value of real assets/economy.  That POMO might caue investors to inflate asset values above fair value would be "temporary" in the view of pragcap.

in that sense he really not saying anything much different than what is said here

And Gold, as gold raises commodity stocks.

What I find interesting is it seems like the days of the POMO are on days were the economic data is weak.  It is as if the FED knows in advance what the data is going to be and schedules a Pomo on that day.

When the news of the kill is fresh, few detect it's presence. Most are in denial. As the stench of the rotting body extends it's tentacles, the attentive start to recoil. When the the counter-action becomes a thriving meme, the idea is no longer referred to as a conspiracy theory.

I am in awe of the work ZH is doing. IMO, the most incisive journalism since Watergate.

Nothing unusual there–AAPL, being the premier consumer go-to, was badly hit by the confidence numbers, as was the market in general.  What shouts manipulation is the sudden change of mind at 10:00 am when AAPL joined everything else being goosed.  If there was no manipulation you wouldn't have seen a 6-point bitumen burning turnaround in AAPL.
