Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/08/2014 10:28 -0400

Presented with little comment aside to ask if 4th time is the charm for the 'hoped for' earnings recovery in Europe...

Chart: Citi

And just in case you were gloating over the US... their analysts are just as bad...

Don't worry, CNBS and other "financial media" will help us forget this inconvenient truth as analysts guide earnings down and companies surprise us to the upside.

Programmed Algos with ZIRP and QE equals a RIGGED market by the Grand OZ--The Federal Reserve. And the self-righteous talking heads, pundits and analyst reacted to Michael Lewis' "rigged" statement on 60 minutes with total surprise and "no its not" response to simple HFT systems front running trades. If this is not a comedy as everyone (but ZH) ignores the White Elephant in the room, we are all just FOOLS.

Again, if one had to prove that the market was manipulated, you would only need to submit the chart of the SP500 this morning - every dip is met by an instance of "panic buying".

The term "catch a falling knive" doesn't apply anymore because "someone" is simply not afraid to deploy "capital" in panic buying mode, not afraid of incurring losses or being wiped out.

Who can that be?

God I wish I could play by these rules in my business. I wish I could have no care about making a profit and pay myself millions with stock every year.

If I played by silicon valley rules my company would be worth $20 billion easy.
