SPX Index EBITDA <Go>
Investors are shocked at the current sell-off as hope/hype growth expectations fade rapidly, momentum junkies question their guru-ness, and earnings all of a sudden matter. In the hopes of shining a little light on that "reality" we suspect the the following chart - ahead of Q1 earnings data - will clarify just how much hope is out there.

I thought HFT improves EBITAHHH http://hedge.ly/1h3W6kd
sheesh, anyone can line up a chart to make data look bad (or good). I'm not saying S&P is over-valued or under-valued... just saying. I could probably make a chart that shows Obama is black, that is when he's not acting white.
Obama is black? GTF out!?
zirp + pomo = ebitda
Based on that chart, I would say we have another 12 to 18 months of non-stop, mindless momentum generated ramp-up days in the SP500
Ammo prices are down right now, BTFD.
fill the gap or void or empty shelf...
thousands of possibilties:)
Its about time we see a menaingful correction! We need at least what we had in February PLUS some... They tried to revive the SPX around 3pm but were met with serious selling into the close. Give me another 100 pts on the SPX and maybe Id think about getting back in... maybe...
Is EBITDA a different way of spelling BTFD?
No, it's a different way of spelling E B I T D A B A S B B
Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation Amortization But After Share Buy Backs.
Is that EBITDA an aggregate dollar figure or a per share figure?
The shit needs to drop a good 20 percent or so then my pants will start to feel tight!!
EBITDA has a credibility GAAP
But does it have a Fulda Gap?
Talk about "perfect timing." I really do wonder if Putin gave the order to go into Ukraine. Can't argue with the vote though...only one nay.
"They say the Great Russian General of WWII only survived the purges because he had been banished to Siberia."
If a guy stop paying his mortgage, his car payment, his tax bills, and his credit cards, and he is allowed to state his financial health based upon income versus paid expenses, his balance sheet looks great. Before long, he has no house, no car, no credit, and he's in jail. But just before that....
That's EBITDA in three sentences.
So true.
Everything except the cash flow ex-interest and sector charges is pure speculative bullshit. You can't even trust PP&E anymore given how cornball the DD&A rules are to accomodate all the new "blue chip" app corps.
But, and it's a big one, that doesn't apply to some.
Nope I'm sorry but full retard is still in play here. We will probably see dow by the end of the year @ 17,500 and "unemployment" @ 5.5% They fixed everything didn't you hear???? BTFD is still the game. It will be the game up until the point where president escapes the whitehouse in Marine One and the hoards decend onto the front lawn with molitov cocktails. And then it might even continue after that.
Two things are different now.
Oil stuck above $100. That is not meaningless when it defines all of civilization.
HFT prosecution threats/risks. Those guys are going to be shutting down -- at least until there is some huge market drop, and then the SEC will declare there's no legal problem with HFT.
The White House is only white to hide the last time it was burned.
Happy August 24th! Celebrate the 200 year anniversary in 2014!
Only PINKO COMMIE conformists have thoughts (and dreams) such as yours. Go to N. Korea with your Fascist BULLSHIT
EBITDA....... LOL. Sure companies can't make any money, but if you add interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization back into the revenues then companies are making money hand over fist. BTFD and if you missed that then BTFATH. The way things are going they will be adding back in the cost of labor to make it appear like they are making money. Oops never mind globalization took care of that for them. It's hard to believe people swallow this shit.
Baffle 'em with bullshit.
I'm not sure that one can consider labor a cost any longer.
I am shocked. I thought profits always followed hype: AMZN, FB, Barry, Ben, Yellen.
To infinity...and beyond!
Uh - oh, Dennis Gartman who was incredibly bullish of stocks last week is now all cash. He says he's "scared". That should pretty much mark a short term bottom and quick rise to the stratosphere.
Aren't the markets just numbers and squiggly lines?
What's the value in all this other stuff you speak of?
Scales were adjusted to make it look like there is some longer term uptrend we are oscillating around creating the false impression of a value proposition in this policy tool of a centrally planned and rigged market.
Buzz "EBITDA has a credibility GAAP and non-gaap) Hey learned during CMGI days... Now the Suckerberg shuffle... Heck the whole 20 year old Silicon Alley shuffle..
SHUSH don't talk about carried interest, Cayman and Cook islands, Double Irish with dutch sandwich (not only IP but everything not nailed down), how about paper record and data storage REITS
Don't get me started on FED printing reserves for the TBTF (TBTE) Gets you kinda rooting for anything but IMF.
