White House Reveals Biggest Threat To Russia Yet: "Don't Buy Russian Stocks"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

If there is one line that reveals how the Obama administration is perceiving the world, and specifically that it is all through the lens of the manipulated stock market, here it is...

It appears the market is ignoring their wisdom...

Correct.  Obama hadles Putin like its just another day at the office.  After a call I bet he puts on his spikes, grumbling about how he'll show putin.  Then he hits a round, comes back to the WH for lunch.  Has his maids put him in his suit and tie his tie.  Does a photo op for Obamacare.  Then eats dinner and has some drinks.

I don't think he understands the weight of his actions.  Basically all we can hope for now is that he has a JFK moment - or RFK if you will - and understands that a group of the ruling elite actually want thermonuclear war so they can kill off tens of millions of people and move into their 1984 Plan.

Most of the shady stockbrokers pushing risky foriegn stocks and bonds on to their clients do so under the guise of 'diversification'. The truth is, diversification only applies to the subset of securities that meet your portfolio's minimum standards. As a rule of thumb, it's probably not a bad idea to stick to US equities, bonds and ETFs since these tend to be of a superior quality and are more likely to be regulated by a repuatable governing body.

Since a good portion of the S&P 500's revenues come from overseas, wouldn't pushing American stocks also be considered "shady"? Truth is that any broker who pushed anyone into any baskets of stock probably has some happy customers.

Don't get out much?.....

US market as a percentage of total stock market capitalisation has been declining for the last few decades.....secondly....most banks are on life support in the US and shutting down in countries around the world like Merrill sold its operations to Julius Baer, Lehman closed down, JPM is busy suiciding its staff, Morgan Stanley, GS etc are busy cutting down their staff worldwide, Citi has reduced its staff worldwide by 50% in the last 5 years to name a few.....thirdly, have you ever heard of Samsung or Glaxo or Siemens or Gazprom or ICBC? From 215 out of Top 500 global corporations in 2001, US has shrunk to 132 among Top 500 in 2013. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_Global_500 I guess selling Motorala and IBM to Chinese is a superior 'quality' strategy! Until Jon Corzine and Dick Fuld go to jail, what regulation are you talking about? Cheating the public is a time tested investment strategy in the US and UK while in Ireland ans Spain they have sent some financial people to jail and China arrests any CEO or Cabinet Minister if just guilty of corruption not to mention fraud before they even start asking questions and HK and Singapore are coming down hard on bankers. The fear of prosecution is what keeps things, more or less, straight in foreign countries. India is a major exception on that point which is why extremely few Indian corporations appear in the Top 500 list and most are state owned.

It is in the interest of US investors to invest outside of North America. They keep their eyes closed at their own peril, which is why you advocate what the SEC and other Govt bodies write in their text books to be careful when you invest abroad. Haha!

From new diabetic cures and paraplegic equipment to make people walk to radar tech in Israel, electronics from Samsung, Lenovo, Haeir, Huawei and HTC, buyouts by Chinese firms of AMC, large chunks of IBM, iconic buildings in NY and Chicago, Smithfield Foods, Volvo (EU), Motorala, foreigners keep buying in EU and US. Just today Germany allowed a EUR 5.1bn purchase of an energy company by no less than 5 Russian billionaires, of all the people. Canada sold one of its largest energy company Nexen to the Chinese. The profits of all these firms will now start flowing back to China and Russia. Ownership of a company is very important because the profits flow back to the country of origin. Just follow the money!

While in the free and democratic country called USA, all the Top 100 companies with massive cash assets keep it overseas to evade taxes at the cost of the public taxpayer. You call that regulation and leading by moral standards and a superior strategy? It is a complete con game against the gullible US public which is why they - and you - need to promote buying US stocks and other investments! 

You please keep your money inside US and see it burn when the foreigners stop investing in both the US stocks as well as its treasuries and when only 10 companies are left in the Top 500 global corporations from America!

Taiwan is the prize, there is no doubt of that. But NKorea is the tool. Watch for the Norks situation to heat up big time, bigger then it has ever been in recent years, so China can leverage "helping" contain the Norks in return for the West abandoning Taiwan. It's Chinese Chess not Checkers.

The Russians can connect their software to the stock indexes just like the FED has. With fiat you can easily do that kind of think because basically all that you are doing is temporarily reducing the float. By placing the equities in a temporary state the markets rise . The software then slowly offloads the stocks back into the market.

That is what the US FED does. Russia can do the same if they haven't done so yet.

So the President is guess what? He is fucking lying if you can believe that.

It'll then move to the next phase, which is "buy US equities for a greater US!" then followed by "you're either with us, in which case you buy only US equities, or you're against us"...

the Russians have survived Napolean, two world wars, trotsky, lenin, the lennigrad seige, nazi occupation,  several revolutions, a few currency collapses, a nuclear meltdown, a societal collapse and had a near death moment with the IMF ripping their financial heart and liver out to sell on the open market in the 1990s...

and Jay Carney thinks they are going to give a flying fuck about his financial advise? he was born to hold Obama's dick in his mouth. how is that career choice working for him?

"Is Gold the prize somewhere in this "crisis"? "

Appears, for today anyway, that they're selling...

TSLA up over 2.5% and gold down nearly 1%.  Yeah, makes perfect sense! </sarc>

Carney warns of impact on Russian stock market. "If I were you, I wouldn't invest in Russian equities right now."

Yet more evidence the propaganda is failing.

If you were me, I'd be you, and I'd use YOUR body to invest in Russian equities. You can't stop me no matter WHO you are.....Loser!

Funny, Element above mentions Strangelove.  Some similarities here...

I'd have put gold at $2,597.50/oz, a forecast of $2,000/oz just sounds like something was pulled out of the closet and dusted off...

But, all humor aside, it really is coming down to the recognition that FINITE resources, and ones of the energy kind, are much more precious than the USD-controlled markets suggest.  And, Europe is broke: this is why I figure this is all just part of the pull-back by Russia to then shift their energy export markets toward China.

There's only 1 way to resolve this situation. China needs to drill a large hole under Tokyo then detonate a 5 megton nuclear bomb in that hole.

Anybody notice EGPT, the Egypt ETF has increased 88% (and by proxy the Egyptian stock market) since the military coup that ousted Morsi?  Are things THAT good in Egypt or is there another reason?

Why didn't they use these tactics to stop Hitler?  Because way back then everyone would have found it hillarious and you can imagine what Dr. Goebbles could have done to answer those tacics.

What a dumb recommendation.  A couple weeks ago I bought Gazprom at $6.60 and it's already to $7.13, despite Crimea.  Do the opposite of whatever these "experts" say.

I am right with you Caracalla.  I filled out my position with one more buy today at $7.01.  I think the WH could probably get GS to run their piehole negatively, but with a multi-year low at something like $6.42 and with its assets, I feel pretty good here.

Careful, however, to not overlook the necessary payments to the mob...

When Russia's oil and gas exports taper off I can assure you that those percentages WILL change: life is always better when you've got "excess" resources that folks NEED; look at Saudi Arabia et al..

what would be funny is if someone started a class action lawsuit and sued carney as an individual for offering investment advice. we wait for 30 days, the russian market gains, then 50,000 of us sue him because we missed out on those gains as we took his advice not to invest...i dont think he has a series 7?
