Your One-Stop Guide To Frontrunning Monday's Double POMO
On Monday, Brian Sack will go for an all-out onslaught of Netflix and Amazon shorts. For the first time ever the New York Fed will hold not one but two monetization procedures. Incidentally both will focus on the part of the curve that in the past two weeks has been performing best: the sides of the belly. The two operations, expected to be about $2 and $7 billion, will focus on bonds in the 10-17 Y and 2.5-4 Y sector. In keeping with the tradition of sharing with our readers the bonds that Sack will almost certainly end up monetizing, we present the 10 cheapest bonds that will likely end up being acquired on Monday. As the Fed is now the largest single holder of Treasurys (since the announcement of the SOMA reinvestment program on August 10, the NY Fed has purchased a total of $124bn Treasuries / TIPS: of the $105bn scheduled for the current month, the Fed has purchased $48bn per MS) expect to see increasingly more detailed analyses of the Fed's SOMA composition as cartoons about how to front run the Fed become increasingly more popular.
It is only fitting that on the near end, the bond most likely to be monetized is the just issued (November 8) PU8 (3Y).
Below is a detailed summary of all QE2 OMOs via Morgan Stanley.

Anybody have a clue what this may mean for US/Japanese bond spreads?
Thanks.

Loved that! But old school like your Uncle (lol)
Today we have NEUTRON-FIAT-Bombs where the Bankstas are untouched, but the taxpayers get the ass ripped out of them. Plus they live to suffer.
Really, loved that (without the video).
Really, really loved SYL, the New RUSH. Thanks. Love your sister BTW.

Who are the beneficial owners of these bonds, and where is the money going?
The market is broken,,,,let CMG and GMCR,NFLX,AMZN all go up 10%....who cares...I have silver,gold and shells..lots of shells
Inquiring minds want to know... ;-)
Snail? Sea? Sea Snail? Pasta? Corporations?
.22? .38/.357? .40? .44? .45? .223? 7.62x39? .308? 12 guage?
egg.
Just wanted to say THANKS!
Right, market opens lower per futures then POMO-juiced Netflix and AMZN lead the charge higher, shorts see what's coming and cash out, markets close up 2%.
exactly
OK I googled it.
POMO is Point of Maximal opportunity?
thanks
Permanent open market ops.
Fed uses them to increase/decrease the amount of capital in the banking system.
Yes, that's the spin.

I'm starting to think more like Jesse Livermore, who made and lost millions by chasing price with leverage (but traded too big to use stops): "The price is never too high to start buying, or too low to start selling"
Many, many categories of stocks are on an up channel (auto parts, retailers, restaurants, ag products, even some reit's). Plenty of dips left to buy.
I think part of the reason the ZH regulars are so pissed is because their shorts keep getting torched. The macro picture is screaming "short everything" but the tape is quietly obeying the waves of bullish sentiment that are still active among the players with the most capital......
Since QE2 commenced I have not seen the obvious correlation with stocks. Is all this freshly minted cash still going into equities? If not where else could it be going ?
"If not where else could it be going ?"
Israel, where else?
Lots of us money goes there. Any is too much.
It's going to continuing to make the payments on the MBS paper backed by mortgages that the owners are no longer paying but the servicers don't want to pull the plug on as they don't have the right paperwork and can't foreclose.
And ecu bailouts and Fannie Freddie and bac jpm c and the rest of the top ten FIRE to prevent them from what looks like the begining of a freefall chart. And REIT and state Munis. Amzn cmg crm appl ect need no help people. As I've said before even with POMO there is not enough money to keep this market up. Internals really suck right now. Even gld is about to roll/drop off the chart. IMO: flash to real crash before Xmas.
The RSI sell divergence is glaring on the daily gold and silver charts no doubt they are both about to take a deep short lived dive along with the whole commodities basket and equities look even worse on both the daily and weekly charts.
With QE2 the target has changed, thus far anyway, but I'm worried they will redirect fire back at the SPY to mitigate the decline. Could they possibly be holding fire while they execute some sort of gold/silver wash out? Or will they be turning the pomo hose back at the stock market starting as soon as Sunday night ?
Black Friday sales were outrageously good. Consumers queuing up days in advance to spend their US dollars on retail goods. Some sleeping in cars, tents, and on the sidewalk.
Everything is lining up for a remarkable Santa Claus rally.
Remember the attention span in play. Like a fruit fly that's reborn within 24 hrs.
Goldbugs; sell now or you're going to miss the apex. The strong dollar is on it's way back.
So you wished you bought gold lower too?
Short GLD , the inverse ETF and buy puts.
Report back the results.
Maybe the people sleeping in cars, tents and on the sidewalks have lost their homes? No signs of the mythical consumer rebound to be seen. Inventory driven GDP growth can be a bitch when the stuff just ends up gathering dust in a warehouse somewhere.
"Nov. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Black Friday sales were little changed, rising 0.3 percent, from last year, as U.S. retailers’ efforts to lure customers by opening early failed, ShopperTrak said."

you know people stand in line to buy limited quantities at low prices, then resell those things on ebay or at the swap meet. those people sleeping in their cars and tents, they are still sleeping there. you know people do that with sports playoff tickets as well.
If the Fed is buying Treasuries doesn't this mean the bond dealers will buy more Treasuries rather than stocks etc, so they can flip them to the Fed?
Mr Durden, any chance of giving us a Fed balance sheet graph going back to say, 1997?
The RBA has been repo-ing 'private securities' since the Asian financial crisis, though not so much buying them outright. This has had the effect of inflating their price (against Treasuries). It would be interesting to see what exactly the Fed has been monetising all these years.
this is interesting, too if you mean "let's stick the Fed with the treasury crapola and go hog wild into equities" since "who wants to own the no risk trade with the infinity P/E?" the ultimate "stick it to the taxpayer." needless to say "it's obvious what ALL CB's have been monetising over these years" which is "their own countries debt." The irony of course is that "the ECB has been the one responsible one." Goes to show you "no good deed goes unpunished" don't it?
"it's obvious what ALL CB's have been monetising over these years" which is "their own countries debt."
Sure, but issued by whom? Treasury bonds, private label MBS, 90 day bank bills? I can't see exactly how the Fed purchasing more Treasury bonds will inflate the price of say, private label MBS, when surely the most profitable trade is to buy whatever the Fed is buying & then sell it to the Fed? After all, they issue the $, which is what the profit is being measured in, you can't lose as long as the $ remains 'money good'.
only the Fed makes the money on the trade--"they become the market." what's that tell you? "it's crap." it's like "sticking with large cap stocks" only "the government version." in effect "the Fed is taking responsibility for ALL of the obligations, too." Well..."ALRIGHTY THEN!" Keep spending "more and more on benefits including even a WAR and..well, I'll buy Netflix and Google and anything else that has no debt and barely any obligation." I'll do this since "with interest rates driven to zero it costs me nothing to short treasuries" and "i can plow into equities that have no dividend yield because they're driving all the responsible companies like IBM, Apple and Microsoft into the ground" by "hiring damn near nobody and making sure to pay them even less." Of course "if the Fed actually turns out to be disastrously wrong" EVEN BETTER because "now the short side of my trade is minting money, too!" So answer me this? Should we hate The Ben Bernank? Or LOVE HIM!

overheard in the hot tub at the NY FED Breakroom:
"Guess what? I got a FEVER! and the only prescription is more POMO!"
Jim Richards on King World News once said that maybe the US will be buying back our debt from China since they're pissed about our dollar inflation tactics. Any thoughts on this from anyone????? Could this be where our newly printed 1's & 0's in Tron-Land be heading????
Hoser
We are "buying our debt", with POMO.
April seems so very long ago.
"We have politely made clear in all our speeches ... that we will not monetize the deficits," Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Richard Fisher said on a panel at the Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies.
The Fed is finished with its job of providing liquidity to markets during the financial crisis and is debating how best to withdraw reserves from the financial system, he said.
"Our balance sheet is way too large. We have assets on our balance sheet which will create problems unless we figure out how to manage them," he said.
Some Fed officials regret the U.S. central bank's decision to purchase $300 billion in longer-term Treasury securities during the crisis because it suggested the Fed was prepared to fund the U.S. fiscal shortfall, Fisher said.
The Dallas Fed chief is not a voter on the Fed's interest-rate setting panel this year.
You know we make fun of this and steep it in humor as a self defense mechanism because what else can we do? But the fact remains that once one dispenses with the propaganda we are monetizing the deficit in order to fund the military effort to maintain the Grand Area of 1945. This can't continue on much longer and deep down everyone knows it. Furthermore neither trading profits nor gold will help you when society disintegrates. I fact it might just buy you the animice of your neighbors which might be deadly. People who are seen as profiting off societal calamities once they come are treated most harshly by those who lament the loss of what once was.
