The Chart That The Fed Fears The Most

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Inflation, meh! Growth, bleh! Unemployment, whatever! The terrifying news is that it seems, despite the ongoing 'surge' to new all-time highs in stocks, they are losing the confidence of the "rich". With everything hinging on the 'wealth effect' of moar QE and a levitating US stock market, the fact that Bloomberg's Comfort Index for the most affluent earners just collapsed (and stayed at) seven-month lows - in the face a rip-your-face-off rally in stocks - suggests even the wealthy know when the music is beginning to end...

In the short-term, the "belief" of the wealthy is fading...

 

and the overall economic index is diverging badly...

 

The bottom-line is that if even the wealthy ain't buying it, then just who is this farce for?

99k?
Try the uber wealthy, the 1,000,000+ earners.
They think everythingsOK

So do the CongressCritters since they live like the 1,000,000 makers.

Welcome to the New Versailles, peasant.

Anyone making over 1,000,000 in this fucked up world is likely a sociopath.  I anticipate they will devour one another.

Won't happen till the "normalcy bias" is broken(power goes out, food goes out, kardashians go off air, etc etc for example)

 

Otherwise, the placated masses will keep on grinding on...

The Fed an the treasury starts feeling the pain when all the dollars are dumped from overseas and there is a currency crisis. 

Until then the 12 presidents at the Fed play their bankster ponzi with the present reserve currency.

BRICS giving the FU to the IMF is a good start, now with NSA being leaked Obozo n company are pissing off the entire world.  I heard 87% of global transactions are still priced in USD even today - WOW.  Guess the ponzi can go on for a few more years, BRICS is the closest thing to a global reset, and they seem to be years away from being any competition.  Can you imagine the planning going on now between DC, Manhattan and City of London.

I'm old and I've had my ear to the ground a long damn time. It really is different this time is in my gut but my head says bet the house because it usually wins. I'm betting on a pullback, maybe 10%, a taxpayer revolt, President Cruz brings a Reaganesque revival and there are chickens in every pot. But don't sell the 1/2 pints or the silver dimes just yet ;-)

 

My personal barometer of when good times are returning is when I can buy Federal Value Pack .22lr whenever I want and competition and Mr Market sets a fair price.

March 2014: The Fed admits QE to infinity and beyond or it quits.

 It's the final showdown when even the hard of thinking will realise that double digit inflation is real and rising - or massive unstoppable deflation is coming. Depends on the Fed's March madness at their meeting that month.

Indeed, its making higher highs and higher lows.  That's a sentiment uptrend. The author needs to recognize the trend is up and ignore the fluctuations.

We have a very productive farm sector and as long as food continues to be produced and distributed the lid will stay on. The food stamp (EBT scam) does not seem in danger yet. I do not believe the fraud can continue indefinitely ,but i do not know when and how the house of cards will collapse.The few are producing plenty of food and energy, but we are feeding an army of cockroaches with voting rights.

Is there a single person (aside from those who spend their lives those who spend their days watching Dancing with Stars and Tweeting photos of their latest 5000 calorie meal) who, after Bernanke said 'no taper' who still believes there can be a recovery?

I spoke to a couple of hedge fund managers in Singapore the other day and they have capitulated and have both personaly jammed a fair chunk of gold into safe deposit boxes 'as insurance'

Yet still most people I speak to - and I am talking about educated people in white collar jobs - are doing NOTHING. They are like deer caught in the headlights.

Ya they think this is going to get ugly - but they take ZERO ACTION.   They don't hold cash at home and they certainly don't buy gold - the excuse is usually 'don't have any spare cash to buy gold'

Yet they've got cash to go for a long weekend in a 5 star resort with the kids that costs 5000 bucks!

They see that a once in a million year storm is barelling down on them and what do they do about it?  Gather around the pool in sun chairs and watch the sunset.

UN-MOTHER-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE

When hedge fund managers in Singapore are getting scared you know people are gonna get clipped.

The farce is for the international news who believe headlines like "emplyment is down", "debt problem solved" and similar bs. but they think, ok, economy is robust, aok. Mass hypnosis on a global scale, that's what this is about.

So ignore all the BS, MOPE, propaganda, lies, prepare yourself mentally and in any way appropriate for what's coming down the pike, and don't forget to live and enjoy life on an everyday basis. As long as there is some good in this world, it's worth living and fighting for that.

Mass hypnosis is a very good analogy.  Prescription drugs, lots of tv-football, facebook, miley cyrus et al, noise called music/rap, k-12 as daycare, msm-mockingbird.
