BTFATH Is The New BTFD

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Emerging in early 2010, when it became quite clear that the stock market will never have a sustained decline under Bernanke's central planning (since validated three years later, when even the tiniest drop in the "market", if not Bernanke's balance sheet, is bought with unprecedented fury and excitement) the term BTFD became the staple mantra of traders 5 year old (or younger, or older) everywhere.

Unfortunately, now that the BOJ has joined in the Fed's liquidity tsunami fray (with rumors that it will expand its monthly monetizations as soon as early 2014, and with the ECB hinting it too will start monetizing debt shortly), the D in the BTFD no longer exists for the simple reason that the S&P is now a straight line exponentially higher (on strong fundamentals according to financial comedy tv no less). Perhaps that is why as the following Google Trends chart shows, we can now wave goodbye to BTFD and replace it with our own humorous creation to explain Bernanke's "market" - BTFATH.

We are confident that the logical question of just what comes after BTFATH will be answered promptly.

That is what will happen after BTFATH runs its course.

With the insidious creep of direct and indirect taxation (the latter category including the carefully - managed "inflation" statistics), how long before we all have "nothing" (from a disposable income perspective) to buy "anything"?

How long before those of us without the "right connections" formally become "chattels of the State"?? EBT Nation meet EBT Global Population.

Great.  Now P/E ratios have also become barbarous metrics/relics.

Exactly.  If the Fed has elimintated risk, what P/E multiple would be too high?

But of course!

How else do you get people who were absolutely scorched in 2008-2009 to buy back into bubble equity markets?

You punish them, pummel them, with 0.25% rates on savings and crappy Treasury rates for four or five years!

They watch the markets go up and up and up; then they get frustrated and throw in the towel and buy into equities.

This, of course, is just what the big banks and investment houses are waiting for and why the FED is pumping the markets.

Bring in retail money after blowing taxpayer money on banks to float the markets and blow another bubble; then, when the retail/household money is back in - you pop the bubble all over again!!!

Wait for it!  It's coming! 

Then more bailouts, more .gov to the rescue of their banking masters, more misery in households.

"No one saw this coming" and "We must pass reforms so this doesn't happen again" and "The FED had to step in to prevent economic disaster". 

Will Hank Paulson make a re-appearance for crash/bailouts part deux?

I remember when I was in high school, the math teacher would launch a blackboard eraser at you with incredible precision, and miss your head by only 2 inches if you were screwing around.

Lesson learned was that there were very real consequences when you fuck with math.  Bernanke? Hello?  Mr. Bernanke...?

Does this fall under the rubric of ChartPorn?

 

Copy/paste into Google search:

exp((-(((x-4)^2+(y-4)^2)^2))/1000)+exp((-(((x+4)^2+(y+4)^2)^2))/1000)+0.15*exp(-(((x+4)^2+(y+4)^2)^2))+0.15*exp(-(((x-4)^2+(y-4)^2)^2))

Then our Kenyan Usurper News Teleprompter (KUNT) can say, "You didn't make that all time high (BTFATH)" or "If you like your current all time high, you can keep it."

Actually, he wouldn't say the first one, since it wouldn't be a lie.
