Prepare For POMO Monday... POMO Wednesday.... And POMO Friday

Tyler Durden's picture




 

This week the Fed goes into overdrive mode, making sure September hedge fund redemption requests are minimum. Starting today, Brian Sack will buy a few billion bonds dated 2016-2020, followed up by a new batch of bonds maturity 2013-2014, and will complete the week's trifecta on Friday by monetizing a fresh $2-3 billion of 2014-2016 bonds. Look for stocks to open lower and surge higher in the tried and true fashion of completely expected Fed market manipulation, once PDs convert their marginal bond holdings into stocks as the September short-covering frenzy goes to an all new level.

I had a dream that BB was forced to abandon pomo SPY buying and switch to shorting gold paper

yeah, shorting gold. snort.....every time we have these POMO days, its like gold snorts coke.

anyone interested in a small silver/gold company? MNEAF -- buck a share. guy who took GG from 9 bucks to forty five, Rob McEwen just unloaded some of his other stuff to "concentrate" on making the most of MNEAF.....

i mean, hell, if Ben is going to destroy the stock market, we might as well take advantage and buy up the stuff he really, really, really doesn't want to go up........and that he's spending serious cash to keep down and quiet....

cause you know....they can't keep this up forever.

There are so many juniors and most will do well as all boats rise with the tide.  If McEwen is focusing his efforts on MNEAF, it's surely a good buy.  I've been steadily buying a group of them, especially the silver juniors, i.e. GPRLF, SLVXF, ECUXF, and YRLLF.  I also like OPWEF which Clive Maund and Bob Moriarty like as well.  Lastly, one that is ready to explode is LODE.  Moelis is helping them restructure and we are within weeks of that being final.  U.S. based explorer with lots of minerals at the historical Comstock in Nevada.

Remember when every deflationist blogger said the Fed would never monetize bonds? Of course they also said the Fed would never pollute its balance sheet with worthless collateral. 0-2.

I'm holding you to that Tyler (I even think it's already started)! Only joking, but I wouldn't be surprised at all, particularly as the FTSE has had a good bump up today with the BP news (does it warrant a 40-50 point move up? Erm, no)

They can do it forever, of course.  The real question is this:  how long will it work?

The answer is that it isn't working now.  People are fleeing the markets like Jews fleeing Nazi Germany.  No other port of call save one will take them, though.  The smart guys already got there and opened up a deli.

You know, it just warms my heart that my kid is going to spend her entire life working off these debts being incurred now to ensure that the hedge managers and the bankers preserve their multi-generational wealth.

i mean, come on guys, we should acknowledge that we now have a society run on the basis that there is royalty (bankers and hedgies) and peasantry.

And we should each play our roles to the very best of our abilities. Which means we should probably just end this entire charade of a market and hand all our money and gold over to the bankers.

What do we think? 35

My Epic Short

 

Let’s say that you do not believe todays stock market is a smoothly functioning system free exchange whereby valuations are determined organically by all buyers and sellers in the market based on reasonable expectations of future earnings, debt to equity ratios, market share, etc.  Instead, lets assume that you believe the current iteration of the stock market is being heavily manipulated to the upside as a tool of Keynsian policy prescription. How might we take advantage of this? 

Assume you are a certain Keynsian statist central banker.  You have been printing and pumping to little avail, but you believe to your core that your course is right and simply needs more time to work.  Now, however, you are looking at the very real possibility that come November, the electorate may leave you with a considerably less pliable group of dupes in the House-  and they will have subpoena powers to look into some of those “tools” you like to use.  What do you do?  Using game theory, here is what I would do if I were him…

When Republicans win in November some money may actually flow into stocks organically, as people see divided government as a check on the Dems.  Give it a few days, then engineer a short, hard drop to roil things a bit.  At the same time, use your statist allies in the media to start hammering the theme “The Republicans don’t have any answers- what do they propose to do” and hit this theme good and hard until it takes root in the general consciousness.  Then, let ‘er rip.  Big crash, multiple days, a true “crisis” that needs to be solved because it threatens Ma and Pa’s retirement.  When people are scared silly, convene the lame-duck congress (with plenty of pay for play for the outgoing members) and pass the “Retirement Protection Act” whereby you take over every 401K in the country, and possibly some other things as well.  It’s a crisis, for Gods sake.  Something must be done.  End result-  another huge swath of formerly private wealth now in the “public” i.e.- government- hands, and a whole bunch more assets to “back” the printing press and keep the game alive.

 

SPXU here I come.  All in, Nov. 6.
