Best And Worst Performing Assets In 2013

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/03/2013 07:52 -0400

A rather skewed distribution in asset returns Year to Date (through March 31), with the winners so far i) the Nikkei, in both JPY and USD terms, on endless jawboning out of the Japanese political apparatus that it may do virtually anything - although in a few hours we will see just what the BOJ actually will do, the S&P on the $85 billion in monthly liquidity injections, and finally the FTSE on expectations the arrival of yet another Goldman central planner will unleash yet another epic episode of monetization in July, just as the Japan effect is fading. The losers: pretty much everyone else. (BitCoin was not included in the sample).

What about lumber for Ben's paper needs or perhaps electricity for all those zeroes and ones?

And what about bitcoin, which is about 1000% up ?

I've been charting gold in BTC recently.

It's making me cry.

Not anymore....it's now some crap from Monsanto. Turns out they now have a free pass so not even the cops can arrest them.

Ammo supplies are so tight that cops traded in their Glocks for GMO seeds to toss at bad guys.

+1 Folks are going to find out just how much of an asset SSRIs are when all of the suppressed psychosis is released when the pharmacies are all shut down. "Zombie" is going to be all to real.

Why does this list shun Natty?

A three month timeframe is a trade, not an investment or an asset.

Yay, hip,hip,hooray. Counter-party paper wins again. Take those worthless PMs and stick em (in my pocket).

Off topic, but..

A colleague of mine with good insights into the economy in Portugal reports that worries are increasing due to the decreasing number of “cash for gold” stores. Ordinarily, a decrease would be a good sign and an increase in the number of such stores is a sign that the economy is in trouble.

Now the view is changing. The stores are closing simply because the citizenry has run out of stuff to sell. This suggests that more protests and social unrest are coming as desperation increases.
