"Bad" News Send Stocks Soaring

Tyler Durden's picture




 

We had the good news (ADP beat sends stocks down) and now the bad news (ISM Services) which spikes stocks instantly up 1%. It seems increasingly clear from the last hour of trading that, as we proved here, the bulls are hoping for moar and moar bad news to keep the retirement dream alive... Notably nothing else is reacting in this manner to provide cover for stocks.

 

 

Carry is not supporting this...

 

and nor are Treasuries...

There is only the Fed. A group of corrupt bankers that print dollars out of thin air to increase equity "values", thereby hoping to induce the consumer to borrow and spend.  Now that's an advanced economy!!!!

F'n joke.

I love it when the S&P goes all penny stock like that.  I'm sure moms and pops all over this broad land engaged their desktop algotrons, and are rockin' the spoos, arbing ETFs, and diversifying through CDS...all giddy about how the new normal nonmarket has made all of their dreams come true.

Of course, in real terms, you can just kiss it all goodbye.  Everyone can hear the calliope music...no matter how sociopathic the actions of one Ben Bernanke are.  As always, thanks for the economic wasteland, sir.

My metaphor of the fed...Janet Yellen taking a bath..

There are two taps..
One is ice cold
The other is boiling hot.

The problem she has is they can only be turned on one at a time, they come out of different spouts, and there is no drain plug.

Enjoy your bath Janet.

Stocks don't need no stinkin cover.  They didn't need fundamentals, why would they need historical trading relationships to hold?  They need only one thing: more Fed love and continued global acceptance of the fraudulent USD.

24 JH-7A bombers stationed at PLA air base closest to Japan: Kanwa

24 PLA JH-7A fighter-bombers are currently stationed at Weifang in eastern China's Shandong province, the closest Chinese air base to Japan and the Korean peninsula, says the Kanwa Defense Review operated by Andrei Chang also known as Pinkov, a military analyst in Canada.

The air force unit based in Weifang belongs to the 14th Regiment of 5th Air Division and the fighter-bombers carrying YJ-83 anti-ship missiles would pose a threat to Japanese naval vessels should the conflict between Beijing and Tokyo over disputed islands covered by the newly established Chinese air defense identification zone escalate. The range of the C802AKD, the export and upgraded version of the YJ-83, is estimated to be more than 250 kilometers, according to Kanwa.

And Biden has been a pussy while he's in China...

http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/12/04/21753595-joe-biden-mum-on-...

Emerging from a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that U.S.-China relations depend on trust and a positive notion of each other's motives. Neither leader made public mention of a major clash over disputed airspace that's pitted China against the U.S. and its Asian allies.

And the bad news put a cap on the rising paper gold and paper silver spike we were seeing this morning.  It also stopped the rise in the dollar in its tracks as well. 

odd that gold and silver (paper) were actually following the dollar up today while doing the reverse of the then tanking EUR/USD which is now falling.

up is down, down is up, good is bad, bad is good, 2+2=5

Oh well...the paper metals are still helping us to add to our physical stacks, folks, so just keep on BTFD.  Hopefully, the scumbags will push them further to 1000 and sub-18 eventually.  Man, the poo will hit the rotating blades when that happens...it'll be a feeding frenzy.
