Dennis Gartman Compare And Contrast
It would be funny if someone wasn't actually spending money on the newsletters.
Gartman from November 19 on CNBC "Dennis Gartman doesn't see froth in stock market":
"... the simple things of economic growth, I don't think there's froth whatsoever."
So... long of froth in economic growth terms? Got it.
* * *
And contrast to Gartman from just ten days earlier, November 8:
"Now with the S&P forging a massive reversal to the downside, we not only must abandon being bullish we must become bearish... and very so.... Our bearish friends, having been wrong for so long, are now right; it is time to be bearish of stocks, while the time for having been bullish is now past... We trust we are clear. The game’s changed and when the game changes, we change.... We had heretofore consistently erred bullishly of simple things… of coal; of steel; of railroads; of ships and shipping… but we are not now."
But "are" 10 days later?
Oh well. There's one born every minute.

he looks like Mary Jo White .. if you squint -> http://hedge.ly/19hEvMq
It's sad this man makes a living spouting his horseshit
Even more sad people believe him and give him their money.
gartman is a jerk with his pairs and units, i doubt he trades anything, just like the najarian bozos.
During hurricanes even turkey's can fly!
We'll see who the true investors are when Ben's drugs wear off!
You gotta love how smug and confident he is when he talks on CNBC.
I'm gonna miss Maria Gottablowya
I have no problem with Gartman. He's a putz just like 1/2 the population, but 1/2 the population doesn't get invited back to CNBC every week and given a microphone & doesn't have articles quoting him nearly everyday. No, it's not Gartman that's the problem. All of this is a reflection CNBC (ie the establishment) trying to give as much misdirection/misinformation as possible. He's just a pawn in the larger game.
Gartman's money clients fled long ago- his main source of income now is the per-diem check for showing up on CNBC......
Who says he doesn't get a check directly from the Fed?
Yeah, Dennis lost a wackton of cred in 2008. Then his failed line of Gartman alpha ETF & investor seminars sort of ruined what he had left. The newsletter is pretty dead, compelling when not everyone had a custom built google scraper trawling at 4000 pages a second, but now it's just a relic.
If he had stuck with core contrarian calls, then he would have been good as a Black Swan guy, but he decided to wander into technicals and commods that proved more complex than folksy idionims. He then dropped the folksy attitude and in turn started trying to do deeper 'value' calls which is what and where many lost it.
Fartman's full of more shit than a Christmas goose. Rivals Stopler in making wrong calls.
What you stated is circular reasoning, but correct circular reasoning, but you arrived at the wrong conclusion.
> He's a putz just like 1/2 the population
Half the population are putz'z'z'z
> trying to give as much misdirection/misinformation as possible
They aren't "trying to give". They are giving the putz what they NEED; which is bullshit. CNBC exists for the same reason the Red and Blue Team exist and religion exists and splatter-art exists: because putz'z'z need bullshit to survive. If SOMETHING doesn't deliver the bullshit there would be bullshit vacuum, and putz’z’z’ abhors a bullshit-vacuum.
But... I like splatter art.
Najarian bozos (and the group of traders and hedge funds they're associated with) front run their recommendations on CNBC, mark up equities and dump options into the spikes.
Up vote for avatar...
what?
He's a trader and he's been wrong a lot. However, nobody has been more wrong the trade than Zerohedge.
And i've been wrong every step of the way along with you but if you're going to be so quick to sling mud then step up and just admit you've been more wrong than most.
Everything is a trade. Damn few "investments" out there.
+10
A perm-bear is as incorrect as a perm-bull. The "markets" have always gone up-n-up-n-up slowly and then crashed suddenly based on (not much more than) male pathological optimism and panic.
I don't think a complete reversal in 10 days qualifies as a "perma" anything except perma fucktard
Yep. I've left plenty of money on the table thinking this sucker's gonna go down, and it never does.
If you aren't making money in this print fest, then that's your own damn fault.
How has Zero Hedge been wrong the trade? They just point out the bullshit. The Hedge hasn't made a broad market call beyond BTFD and BTFATH. As a matter of fact the few trade recommendations the Tyler's have made were profitable. If you have the balls to put them on.
And actually most all of the 'trades' I've ZH put out have turned out to be big winners.
I don't think some readers understand that an article submitted by a contributor is not necessarily the position of the Tylers.
Agreed.
Tyler isn't a freaking money manager, and this ain't Morningstar- he just points shit out, in the most unbiased way I've seen in ANY market.
If anyone has lost money trading by what Zerohedge says about anything, then they need to work on their reading comprehension skills.
Personally, I made a pile shorting JCP on Tyler's analysis a couple months ago, and passed it along to my clients- WAY better info than any of the traditional "newsletter" bullshit scams out there.....
Fucktard. But typical CNBC type. Spews bullshit and looks like a turd. You could substitute any number of CNBC sack swingers and get same advice
What is he "long of" and "short of"?
Long of wind
Short of grey matter.
PT Barnum without the class.
Total fucking blowhard moron, only slightly less dumb than his followers.
Change WILL happen when the bullets start flying!
There is a bitcoin price on Bernanke's head - bid up the price here to hire a hitman

You should take this post down.
I second that BOP although I think Tyler needs to do it because replying may have locked his comment in.
Fonz, I know for a fact that these kinds of posts are screened and following by the FBI. I was told that by a member of the ZH crew last year.
I believe you.
meh.
I hate you all.
good luck!
Your words and thoughts will be used against you.
pretty flowers.
I agree w/ BOP and Fonz. This post needs to come down Tyler.
Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds
Speaking of stocks, who in their right mind would buy shares in Yahoo!?
I have a long-standing email account with them, and have recently had to delete a couple of SPAM emails from my inbox. The subject line of each included "Jennifer Aniston".
A multi-billion dollar company that incorporates a spam filter which fails to discern that crap as spam? Please.
If you're only getting a couple, count your blessings. I hate yahoo, the email and the site.
One day we will find out just how many of these fools have either been blackmailed or bribed by the NSA to spout a given line.
Well, a broken clock is right twice a day, unless it's a 24 hour clock or a digital clock.
Like all prognosticators they sling as much bullshit as possible and then cherry pick their winners to later say "As I said on....". The Sheeple eat it up because they're too stupid to recall the other 80% of the time that they're wrong.
Re; The Sheeple eat it up because they're too stupid to recall the other 80% of the time that they're wrong.
When I was young, I Found that most grown-ups were made uncomfortable if I reminded them of their previous words. I could not understand how they could forget what they had said. In growing up I learned that the average person is a dolt.
Suffering succotash, another Goldman Sachs / CNBC video on ZeroHedge.
They are now producing clips directly for the Tylers.
It almost seams... too easy.
These are good clowns cause they are funny. And predictable. They begin gradually talking a market theme, and then gradually build on it until they are all screaming at the top of their lungs (keyboards) simultaneously. That is the time to take the opposite side of their bet, just when they have squeezed the suckers out.
Re: That is the time to take the opposite side of their bet, just when they have squeezed the suckers out.
The suckers aren't all-in yet. You can't talk-down a bubble. If you do talk-it-down then it wasn't a bubble to begin with. A bubble is pure male pathological optimism. And in a situation like that no amount of talking will convince the other males not to follow the rest of the dumbasses to their destruction.
If the market goes down as a result of talk it's a correction, which will result in a BTFD by the pathological optimists. If there are enough pathological optimists the "bubble" will continue upwards until a male panic results in a crash.
Logic has nothing to do with male pathological optimism.
They are talking up interest rates now, if we - please - get a spike at 2:00 take advantage and begin to pick up TLT. Free lunch for you.
Sounds about right, but corrections are hard to come by and we muscled thru Sept better than usual, so somebody needs to conjure up a 5/10% correction one of these days
does not compute. Most trades are set & executed by machines with little or no human guidance.
Give the man a break! 10 whole days passed after his bearish statement!
I agree. It must the problem of climate warming which does not allow him to hibernate longer.
One must change of their opinion as one sees fit of it.
Gartman went on Peter Schiff's show and said that Abenomics is the "right thing for the Japanese to do" what an idiot.
The guy is an idiot. Any great salesman knows you put out two different picks under two different names, that you control. VEGAS 101.
This Thursday Seasmoke lock of year. For $500 we guarantee the Falcons cover. Or your get rest of seasons picks free....
This Thursday is Seefires game of year. For just $300 we guarantee the Saints will cover or your money back !!
What is it with the royal "We" with this guy?
It's only in a "news media" as badly devolved as ours where a goofy asshat like Dennis Gartman would enjoy any exposure at all.
We is long of bullcrap ?
There's a huge difference between trading and economic/political/moral philosophy.
Advocating for QE or Abenomics is political/moral philosophy.
Buying Toyota as a result of Abenomics is a trade.
I attended the New Orleans Investment conference where Gartman spoke. He was invited as a contrarian to the decidedly gold-bug flavor of the audience. However, his talk was so patronizing and insulting it embarassed everyone. In a room where the average IQ and real-world knowdge was MUCH higher than Dennis will ever aspire to, he treated us like kindergartners, like idiots who had no business making decisions on our own behalf.
The guy is an idiot, fit for mainstream TV, but not much more. Charles Krauthammer was a breath of fresh air by comparison.
Re: Charles Krauthammer
New Orleans Investment conference ?
He's a political bullshit spewer. What was he doing at an "investment" conference?
Spewing bullshit, getting paid.
This fucker had better blow harder. He does'nt have Maria's T&A. This is the last stop for dennis.
When will we be finished of Dennis Gartman?
Most folks already are. cnbc ratings continue to tumble.
Must be why Maria jumped ship to Fox.
Gartman plays magic 8-ball, or is it a dreidel; whatever it is, he is quite long of it.
So... do the opposite of what he recommends. If that works, his newsletter is still a bargain.
<- Dennis Gartman calls
<- shitcoinz USD valuations
Can't tell what's more absurd moment to moment.
Gartman has made millions for thousands over the years.
Parse that.
