It's Bizarro Headline "Explanation" Day

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Ah, the wonderful life of a mainstream media journalist where everything is linear, where everything is perfectly explainable to an overeager public using "as" linkers, and where in the name of propaganda and keeping your editor happy, logic and objectivity is also known as "collateral" damage.

For example, take stocks, which can rise due to improving economic data...

 

But also, at the same time, stocks rise due to deteriorating economic data, and bets on more Fed stimulus...

 

But things are even clearer when it comes to gold, which in turn drops on good news as it "supports" the Fed's scaling back...

 

... and also drops on bad news, because in this case, deteriorating economic data (GDP miss) implies less inflation.

 

Sigh.

And now you know how "media" is done.

All I want for Xmas is for Benny to stay on for another 8 years and keep on giving us QE so that the markets will go straight up and everything will be OK.

I think the appropriate adage is: "the house always wins."  We just play the games in the Fed's casino.

I hope silver goes down to 1$, so I can buy 20,000 ounces.

It's almost as if someone is trying to push gold lower and stocks higher.

The Media is scard of the whitehouse because they know the NSA has been spying on them and they have the goods on them so they are playing ball on the LIES.

Kept my physical, reversed my paper when it broke 1500.  I give no fucks anymore.  Short paper profits means more physical for free.

Hey! How about we as a group root out the false news turd shooters. I'm sure the submitters are on par with the fake reviewers of books you typically find inside dust jackets. "Outstanding spoof puffery of a wildatious ride!" Star Post Newszette, Tampon Florida. Lets find the fuckers, expose them, root them out. Back trace the "authors" either to the fuckwad who produces them under various names, the government office, autobot robot IP address. At lease we can make it harder to feed us shit balls. You know most is coming from a Fortune 500 company.

i suggest you start with how sell in mMay was a myth..up unti the 22nd...then radio silence...then a renewal of "sellin may is a myth". pick any MSM for any of the drivel to say that market going up 20% year to date is good, but a 5% pull back is a cause for gloom...just imagine how many changes of underpants will be required in a bear market.

rememberin a market of 2,000 stocks, MSM will discuss only winners in depth and none of the guests will have a demostrable long term track record in anything other than breathing and taking fat fees

Praising strong economic data is like praising our cooling climate and cleaner oceans and how nutritious caesium 137 is from Fukushima.
