Tomorrow's Payroll Print Will Be Great For Stocks No Matter What: Goldman Explains

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Remember when data mattered? Well, it doesn't anymore (and hasn't since the advent of central planning in 2009). Just to confirm that here is Goldman's preview of tomorrow's nearly two month delayed, September Non-far payrolls, which will be great no matter what, meaning the Fed remains in charge well into 2014. To wit:

"Any positive number will be discounted because it came before the DC theatrics and if it’s weak it confirms that tapering should be put off longer."

Seriously, since absolutely nothing can possibly be bad news any more, can Bernanke just tell us what the closing print on the S&P for every trading day until the end of 2013 is (when it will usher in the new year at right about 1800) and then for 2014, when assuming 1 SPX tick for every $3.5bn in POMO flows, the S&P should close out that year at 2100. It's not like anyone even pretends there is a discounting mechanism left.

The fact that Tyler has given up hope is pretty much the most bearish sign around. Prechter deciding to go long Netflix would pretty much put a bow on it.

When the last bears throw in the towel and conclude that long and strong is the obvious play because "they" will never let the market go down, that's when they usually pull out the rug.

I have become convinced it's not about bulls, bears or even a market anymore. 90% of the population will live an existence barely above poverty, but with an iphone. 9% of the population will benefit from the market, which will be up every year. The 1% won't even need the market.

Viable theory, but just think how much profit they could make on another wild roller coaster ride that they control.  Another major crash would have the 9% begging for more QE the likes of which TBTF can only dream about today.  It's important to keep in mind that there is never enough for these guys.  Someone always has a bigger yacht.

I could see a 20% scalping just for fun. if they go for another big one I think they lose control and it would be the end of the casino. People would go to hard cash, gold, those pretzel shaped fake dog shit's spencer's used to sell. They don't want that. Or maybe they do....who knows....

They're afraid to lose control of this overinflated and excessively marked up ponzi.

No way. The confidence in the con must be maintained. People have been conditioned to 1% pullbacks, and they get freaked out about a 5% pullback. 20% would send them screaming for the hills.

Like gold hills.  The kind that the TBTF types have been creating for themselves by shorting said gold with taxpayer money and buying their own positions.  And stocks in a few years.     It took a while, but people piled back into stocks after the last big crash and TBTF made mountains of wealth riding that train back up the hills.  TBTF is too big to fail.  They will get bailed out and continue making money on the way down, back up, back down, and so forth.   If they do lose control, they already own massive quantities of hard assets and will rule over the burning rubble.

An equally sound quote, though, probably unpopular in "mixed company":

"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue! - Goldwater

But it is what it is.

Goldwater wanted to use the bomb on Russia to end the cold war.  How would that have worked out?   But everything else he believed in was dead on, right?

this may just be semantics, but i think you need to move the decimal over a couple spaces. 1 % isnt the people who control all this shit. youre talking about a couple thousand people, 1 % emplies there are a ittle over 3 million people in that category in the US, and i dont buy that. I think maybe a couple thousand. my opinion at least. I think this whole 99 vs 1% is a straw man.

I like your thinking, but ...

If you add dotgov employees, you actually have about 10:90. Add the in all but name dotgov employees (nurses, Boeing, Blackwater, Planned Parenthood, PBS, etc.), and it's - what? - 15:85? 20:80? How 'bout the guys providing fire suppression equipment at the NSA's Utah facility? That'll add another few thousand. Or the guys building outhouses (oops, I mean outhouse) in Alaska?

We're heading for a 10-40-50 world.

50% very poor, no hope and very pissed off.

10% very rich, money flowing into their accounts  from a myriad of sources.

So what about the bashed up 40%, the middle classes?

They'll be employed by the 10% to help protect them from the pissed off 50%.

Watched a foreign TV program yesterday. The woman said "whoever is afraid to miss this wave can still jump in. And instead of risking it all in just one market, you can buy our fund that gives you exposure to Asia, Europe and the US."

As if one can go down without the other two crashing.
Hope that "wave" turns into a deadly "muppet-crushing tsunami."

Yep. everyone now believes that More QE = Higher stock prices,this wasn't the case 1-2 years ago.

This probably means the equation is near to breaking, ie more QE = no more stock price rises. And if that happens then there's a lot of money invested on the more QE = Higher belief that will be looking for bids to sell into.

Considering that it is all bull, if the market is near a 52 week high when the feds meet, they may taper a little to avoid "bubble acqussations".  If the market has been knocked down a little with the economy in the crapper, the feds are sure to keep printing.  Therefore, I think we will see a pullback in the market.

Just noticed the part below the quoted points which essentially rendered my comment as utterly pointless in advance, because apparently I can't even make it past the title anymore - Goldman's fault.

Why bother printing the shit?  Just tell people that they can use anything that isn't nailed down as money.  I brought some rocks I found in the parking lot at WalMart and bought a nice GMO chicken with them. It was 4 average sized rocks. For an Ipod you'll have to drag in a boulder or two.

Since when did data matter?  Stocks will be up and gold and sillver will be down.  That has been as regular as clockwork for many months now.  No one even pretends that the US has markets anymore.  Goldman can provide the same comment for the next non-farm payroll and the next.

To top it all, all US data is made up for best helping the markets levitate.  No one pays any attention to the large revisions that they throw in once in a while.  Ponzi is now a euphemism for "US markets."

If the FED is in charge, why can't they taper and raise the FED rate?

If the FED is in charge, why are 46 million on food stamps?

If the FED is in charge, why is real unemployment over 10%?

it means nothing whatsoever,

 

when the fed is printing billions of dollars per month, the only thing that matters is that. if there are 300,000 jobs added or 3 jobs added, as long as the fed can still print, the market will be green.

 

its a fucking joke.

 

today was prob the market crash we thought we were going to get, dow losg a whopping 7 pts, i hope u guys bought that big dip, lol.

Even the most retarded bulls realize the market bubble is about to pop.  Remember, at any moment the pomo manipulators can use their cash as collateral for shorting the market.  Now that everyone including Tyler is convinced that it can only go up, they will start dumping their long shares and keep selling as they enter the short side.  The important thing is that they manipulate the market in both directions to skrew the common investors, albeit they haven't done the dumping side yet this year.  Happy Trading
