Goldman Admits Defeat Following 6.16% Loss In Three Days, Closes Long Nikkei Reco
Suplise! We mocked them earlier for not closing out. Four hours later, they have done the honorable thing, and fallen on their sword. So to speak.
Stopped out of our long Nikkei September futures (NKU3) position
With the JPY trading through 93 at one point overnight, Nikkei September futures traded through our stop of 12,700. Although futures are now trading back above our stop, testament to the enormous volatility in the market there, on the basis of the Tokyo close, we were stopped out with a potential loss of 6.16 percent. Japanese markets continue to roll back gains and unwind inflation expectations, moves that we now think are excessive given the firm commitment to ease. But with the June BOJ meeting now past, it is somewhat less clear what will shift sentiment in the near term.
Translation: Goldman is now buying the Nikkei again.
As for the muppets? You know the picture.

Oops.
But yes, they have to be careful to stop doing *exactly* the opposite of what they recommend to their clients.
They'll need to shake-it-up a little to keep people going.
In other news, Tyler gets self-banned for violating the new "No racists" rule.
Authorities will be contacting him shortly.
I would not buy the Nikkei exactly right now.
I would not buy the Nikkei exactly ever.
I'll take the Nikkie dead cat bounce for $1000 Alex.
2.15% Doc.
We will get to 1.75% and when we do the dow will be 20k.
Crazy isn't it?
2.13% now with the dow up 200.

Watch for the 3 handle resurrection of the Muppet TONIGHT! Afterall, JGB's have stabilized, all is calm......
I doubt they have gone long. They may have simply closed their short positions.
who's "they"...and "who's the other they" (other than oy vey)
And does "going long" mean a duration of seconds, or milliseconds? It's important, you know!
Goldman's.

Actually - Schlitz may be too good for them.

Clowns. Put a tent over this circus.
Hmmm, if it traded through the stop, then the stop isn't actually a stop is it!

It looks like the market just was frontrunning a leaked hilsenrath article.
Or....the Bernank wanted to draw in some shorts to squeeze this thing higher.

Bernank did what they always do (buy the market) but this time it really needed some relief from that 50DMA.

GS didn't lose a dime. Benny cut a check to cover any losses.
GS had cut their longs .... long before this muppet directed "position cut losses" call. They have been short for 2 weeks. They are long now.
The "recommendations" are just toi improve liquidity on the other side of their trades.
+1 for the Muppets.
