Shanked, Then Cranked. Another Banner Day for Goldman

RobotTrader's picture




Yet another day where Goldman scored huge once again.  Where is Dick Bove today?  No doubt, he must be luxuriating in an Opium Den and Massage Parlor somewhere in Chinatown, cavorting with 17-year old Asian Exotica, after receiving a hefty payout from the Prop Desk boys at Goldman..

Hilarious how Bove's Wells Fargo massacre was completely and totally reversed, as the KRE staged a dramatic turnaround...

And the weakest sector lately has been the restaurants.  Chipolte coughed up a warning last night and the stock was down hard after hours.  No worries, Goldman seized yet another opportunity to "Shank and Crank" that stock for some quick money.....

All in all, just another opportunity for Goldman to inflict the maximum amount of pain possible in the shortest period of time, directed at its own largest clients.

No doubt, leaving a grenade blast in the trading desks of most of its top Prime Brokerage clients:

 

Where is Dick Bove now???

 

Oh, we found him.....

At least we know for sure now that yesterday's dump was part just the prequel to another boring short squeeze.

With dumb investors and fund managers, the boyz can keep this game going for a few more years.

S&P 2000 DJI 20.000, AU 2000 and 20% U3 here we come.

Go long bullshit and you should be fine.

Hey - easy on the use of the word Shanked. If anyone but you RT I would be pissed (even if some of the actual meanings of the word are pretty dire). Oh, nice work as always.

Just another one of those "junk UP, value DOWN" days that we have been getting used to...but don't worry...it's all so...so...ARTIFICIAL.  Can't keep it up forever.  This feels now like...early October.....1929.

History sure seems destined to repeat itself . We did not learn from the 1929 crash. Next crash x 10 .

After a 500 handle rally, what cards are we playing now? Buy it and hope it's not the top?

Anonymous, we ARE playing the hand we're dealt.  We're playing the probabilities, and the odds now MUST favour an eventual down trend beginning.  However, we do all resent manipulation.  Said manipulation is getting more and more expensive for them to keep up. 

I looked and looked on Wednesday to find something - anything! - to buy LONG.  Nothing.  Precious metals - possibly overpriced & getting to be a longer- and longer-term play.  Banks & REITS?  Need I say more?  One day the next day's bounce up WON'T come.  Tech?  Sky-high NASDAQ.  Base metals?  Absurd prices on next-to-no demand...

Nothing wrong with accumulating cheap shorts and cash now...

lotsa paper chasing this rally.  The paper gets more worthless everyday.  The new norm....triple digit PE Ratio for the S & P.

Bennie's helicopter gonna need an overhaul soon, he's using a tanker to refuel it, thing never lands.
