Goldman 'Explains' The 'Market': "Best Not To Look A Gift-Horse In The Mouth"
Good news, bad news, no news, dips, no dips, who cares. As Goldman sales/trading desk says, never look a gift-Bernanke in the mouth (especially if he ends up in a frozen lasagna at a store near you).
From GS:
A solid rally today and new cycle highs for US equities – but that’s where the story stops. No obvious catalyst. No bullish data. European stocks traded well, with most people pointing to a better German ZEW print, but it’s not clear why that would translate into such a strong US trading session. Maybe it’s best though not to look a gift-horse in the mouth.
One can't help but laugh at this "market."

Don't put gifted horse meat in your mouth.
Is there a "market" out there?
A gift-horse, a gift-horse ! My kingdom for a gift-horse !
All that paper's getting a little hot to hold...who will buy my paper? ;-)
Around here you can tell a horses age by looking at his teeth, if you look in there, and the horse has no teeth, that's an old horse.
I rushed into this thread dearly hoping it was heavily laden with horsemeat jokes and I didn't have to go farther than the first comment. I love ZH.
What do I fear ? Myself ? There’s none else by.
Lloyd loves Lloyd; that is, I and I.
It doesn't matter, Bernanke and the Fed will make a market with their infinite fiat.

i don't want to cry so i laugh at my put positions
Tyler, is it possible that the "great rotation" out of bonds and into stocks is taking place in an unexpected form, namely out of JGBs and into US stock market?
Martin Armstrong's take is that with the fall of Europe and Japan, the USA are currently the only game in town which might explain why we could see new highs in US equities.

What do you think?
Interesting. Thanks for the link.
If we're going to crash hard into a full on depression expect a hell of a wild bender ride first
okay, ONE MORE FUCKING TIME, TAXPAYER/INVISIBLE FIAT DIGITS ARE GIVEN TO SLIME BALL BANKERS, SAID BANKERS DON'T LOAN THIS FREE FUCKING "MONEY" OUT, THEY DUMP IT INTO THE MARKET WHERE THEY CAN GO UP, OR DOWN IN A NANO SECOND AND FUCK EVERYBODY ELSE THATS IN THE WAY. THEY CAN'T LOSE WHEN PLAYING WITH THE HOUSES MONEY! IT'S CALLED THE WEALTH EFFECT, CONJURED UP BY NONE OTHER THAN WALL STREET BOUGHT AND PAID FOR GOVERNMENT OFICIALS. NO VOLUME, NO PROBLEM, WHO CARES.
Damn man, you are going to run zerohedge out of black ink...
don't worry about the INK, READ THE MESSAGE.......................................
REFUSE to PLAY. Pull your damn cash. Damn people. It's simple. The house is stacked against you. Pay off your debt if you have any and sit back, enjoy the show, and sleep soundly knowing they have nothing of yours to steal. The MARKETS ARE DEAD. YOU ARE OUT GUNNED, OUT MANNED, OUT HFT'ed, SIMPLY PUT, YOU ARE BEING OUT MANIPULATED. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. SCREW EM'!
Gold and Silver are being crushed by paper games. When they push it low enough and you are afraid of inflation then go buy some. Other than that stop whining. It will never cease untill we pull our willingness to play the fucking dream (nightmare) with placed bets they can steal.
EXIT THIS ABORTION UNTILL THESE ASSHOLES GET THE MESSAGE. Stop fucking around and correct this bull shit mess once and for all. Untill then fuck em'. ABORT!
Sounds like a passive aggressive dig at Moe and the SEC. Fuck with us we wipe out everyone's savings in a rigged stock market crash. I say bring it mother fuckers and so we can hang your asses on it.
Like the owners of the SEC have any need to scare the hired help!
You need to stop following the script (especially the scene where you get even with them after the crash).
I see this as nothing more than GS having to say something, yet having absolutley nothing to say that wouldn't be incriminating.
The idea that GS has an adversarial position with the SEC is juvenile. They own it, and they've always owned it.
I tend to believe that also but I'm willing to give Moe at least one shot to prove she isn't more of the same. I still say the statement is a passive aggressive pot shot reminding everyone who calls the shots with this market.
There is absolutely no way on Earth that she'd ever gotten the job if that were the case.
Remember, ALL of these people, including O'bummer, are thoroughly vetted (read: black-mailed) to ensure loyalty.
If anything, the pot shot you see is merely manufactured to give you another glimmer of hope.
Even if Moe is on the payroll, the fact they even feel the need to put up a fake good cop in the name of appearances is telling that they are concerned about the negative sentiment being voiced in comments in places like here and individual blogs. The open information revolution is rattling them....
Okay explain to me how it is a glimmer of hope? Serious question not being sarcastic.
Have you worked in the corporate world and swam a bit with the sharks? Even in those swarmy pools, they only promote their own... So in those deep waters there is no chance anyone doesn't play along for fear of being drowned instantly
When they retire and write a book they can be honest about things from 30 years ago
Though what are the chances ther's going to be a global economy - methinks GS, for all it's balls, might've hitched to the wrong wagon
As I've been saying over and over and over and over.
This casino can only and only and only go higher. It has been like that since Dow at 10k.
No news needed, no events required.
A 1987 repeat is at hand, very soon. A collapse with no news, no events.
A collapse out of silence, as soon as Obama gives the HALTING order to Benny B.
People (lots of them, including all the so-called "experts", like Bernanke) said the same thing about the real estate market. It can ONLY go higher. That worked out well for a lot of people, now didn't it?
Our favorite casino managers got big raises today...Moynihan grabs a 71% raise for selling assets and firing people.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-19/bofa-grants-chief-moynihan-11-million-in-stock-bonus-for-2012.html
Value is dead , Cost is king
Obummer will never give Benny the halting order - Obummer works for the banksters not the other way around. This market will keep going higher until there are sufficient sheep funds to be stolen. That may take awhile.
buy the pink-slime dip!

Interpolating from this, I can only assume that war is but weeks away.
That gifthorse meat is just being used to bail out the ECB banking system anyways...
It's a freaking European delicacy.
it's just the same 500 shares trading back and forth all day long
Its not a gift horse if it can be taken back from you.
Best sell it and realize the gift for what it is I suspect.
You also have to take the "Goldman loves to fuck its client over" factor into effect. There is no telling what Goldman is doing investment wise..
Bernake is a horses ass and this is criminal fraud rather than a market.
"Maybe it’s best though not to look a gift-horse in the mouth."
Close your eyes and keep breathing, it will all be over soon.
That's what I say to my wife. Well, not the whole sentence. Ok, one time. One time I got to say the whole sentence. What a night that was.
There must be two Goldman Sachs? A good one that gives good investment advice, and a bad one that fucks people over every chance they get............. No??
There is a ..... good..... GS?
sorry I think you have overdosed on something that has severely affected your mind
Well, he is A Lunatic, after all.
That was Not Applicable.
Bernank's $ 85B/mo payoff key must have been fat fingered today. That's a lot of fiat moving things. The squid already knows this.
Straight from the horse's mouth.
GS, the first one to sell whenever they find a scapegoat event good enough ...
It's a laugh riot for sure
Even funnier is the people that say.."look at the stock market, everything's fine"
Blind in one eye, can't see out of the other
Is this the same gift horse the Europeans have been eating?
"This is not the beef you're looking for..."
It is groundhog.
