Forecasting Today's Closing Print

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In a world in which everything is scientific and algorithmic, here is today's calculation-based, and thus 100% accurate, prediction of where the S&P will close.

Got to have a little dip here and there in the carnival ride, or else it's just boring and people get off. 

What better time than 100% complacent market to rip em off a little bit? Gotta generate a bit of yield somehow.

1670-1675 only because I expect Bullard to be a little bit of a turd today.

But who will buy those bonds and keep the sorvereign ponzi-government going? this the 50-80 trillion dollar question.

"but, but, but, you're black??"

 

Never underestimate the ignorance of the sheeple. My baby boomer parents still think Gov't bonds are the safest asset you can own. Unable to comprehend the notion of currency devaluation, and price/yield inverse relationship.

Where is that "investing for dummy's  sheeple" book whne you need it??

Sorry, the fact is that the majority of those baby-boomers who are fortunate to actually have investment capital already have allocated/purchased all the bonds they feel comfortable with.  The other fact is that 52% of the population has no "skin" in this corrupt bullshit game to begin with, they just "swipe that EBT".  The 900 lb gorilla here is the unfunded liabilities, period.  The puppets/criminals in D.C. continue to wage useless wars and enrich themselves, yet the liabilities continues to grow, exponentially.    That which cannot be sustained, won't be.  Hedge accordingly, personally I am long sharecropping...

52% of the population does nothing but "swipe that EBT", they have no fucking idea what a 401k or IRA is.  Good fucking luck with that logic.

here's my close: "mmmmm. Grapes of Wrath. My favorite."...pause...."i hear there in season."....pause, chewing sound...talking with mouth full..."yeah they're pretty good." ideally with slobbering girl vs hoight toighty boy as casting. set: basically a balsa wood table and a couple of rickety chairs...two people who "really don't get each other." sex...let along conversation...not looking good. by all means for those wishing to complete this scene...and movie...

Funny you should mention that.  I just started Grapes last night.  Haven't read it in 35 years or so.  Tom Joad just now talkin' to the preacher under the willow tree.  This following a string of other great novels from our time: Lord of the Flies, The Stranger, Lady Chatterley's Lover....I think my disposition has become more 'escapist' since obimmer took over, because all the hope & change talk had no substance - none - and yet so many seemed to grasp at it like it was messiah time.  Can't freakin' believe it, now, 5 years on and folks are just now starting to get the picture of what an incompetent lout he is and how terrible the Fed can be - all in the name of 'saving' us.  Right.  I'd sooner be saved by a Papua cannibal.  This can not possibly end well - and end it will; on our collective necks.

We need a Black Swan Tuesday, one where the market ends flat, or (gasp) down 0.1%.

Fool me, I thought all the Green Shoots propaganda was  about electric cars and solar panels. Now I realize it's all about closing green on the S&P 500.

Just in time!  A new word - "Taper" - for everyone to pivot off of reality on.

Will Bernanke "Taper"?  Egads!  What does it mean?!  What will happen?!  Will he!?!?

They may as well look at the color and consistency of his stool or observe the level of his bilious humour.

More fucking insanity, more blah-blah, more perception management with a malange of histrionic verbiage and hand-wringing.

When the bears start to trade Tuesday's ramp for a short term profit it's game over for that one. There will be no one to squeeze.
