S&P Futures Open Down As Friday's "Deal" Hope Fades

Tyler Durden's picture




 

UDPATE: Futures bouncing a little off their opening lows (down 7)

Despite the US equity market's efficient "knowing better" on Friday, the total and utter lack of progress this weekend in any and all fiscal issues in Washington has seen the gains from Friday evaporate as the S&P 500 futures open down 10 points. We are sure the headline-driven ping-pong will continue to drive stocks though as there remains over 15 hours until the US day-session opens. Gold and FX markets are practically unchanged for now.

Fortunately the financial regulators are still on furlough.  Now we can enjoy rigged markets without the pretense of oversight.  Phew.

 

Octaper?  HAH.  Benny is the bond, mbs, and equities market.

Freeze in place.  What if companies could freeze their stock in place for a period of time.  All buys/sells would be at that price.  Would have a 30 day announcement period before execution.  They could concentrate on business instead of market price and unfreeze when they were comfortable with outlook but not longer than x months.  Yes, there a lots of issues but it seems reasonable.  Would take shareholder involvement.  musing

Bernake and the Fed will continue to print and buy up equities.

The Fed knows they can buy up everything until the US dollar crashes and burns. Then it's panic time.

They have, its the US taxpayer.

They don't want to make an announcement just yet.

They want to wait until the US taxpayer really starts to feel the burn from the ass raping they're gonna get.

Don't worry folks, we've seen plenty examples of magic overnight levitation to open the market green. I would not be surprised to see the market ramp up 10 points when Europe opens at 4AM.

"Are you saying that we can't print and borrow another five or ten trillion dollars? Or even another hundred trillion dollars to fund Obama's plan?"

They'll keep borrowing until the market tells them no more. I will probably go close to the 17th and everyone will get scared and buckle in.

Hopefully I'll be awake when it happens.

Does this mean Odumba will be doing a 1hr of blah blah blah or they will shut down the deparments in the fed govt for good. I pray they do for good. Start with Congress and Whore House.

If they shut down the Whore House where will Moochelle-O turn tricks?

If Wall Street doesn't want Congress driving the economy into the ditch, they better get busy with the message-sending.
