Flashing Red Warning: Q1 Earnings Growth Plunges To Lowest Since 2012
While the so-called "experts" were adamant in repeating that one must ignore all Q1 economic data (because of harsh weather you know), one thing the same "experts" pounded the table on was the earnings growth in 2014 which confirmed that the Fed was correct in tapering and that the corporate sector was well on its way to achieving "escape velocity" and a stable recovery. And then this happened...
Oh, and this too.

Love the way these crappy phrases like 'green shoots' and 'escape velocity' come and go. Haven't heard 'escape velocity' now for a few weeks.
The MSM look like they need a new one.
Glorious rebirth from the never closing womb
Gushing sarcasm
Festering pustule.
This economy needs a triple shot of Viagra to keep it up.
i like Horny Goat Weed myself..
Baby boomers have quit spending - retirement's gonna be a bitch, broke.
It is a very mattering thing.

GAAP or NON GAAP ;)
CRAP.
Let's just see NON-CRAP earnings.
Max--its ez to forget NON GAAP reporting and how recurring those non recurring expenses are. GOOG had somehitng like 4 billion of non recurring expenses the last 6 qtrs. When does non recurring becoem recurring?
Its also ez to forget mark to fantasy accounting by the banks.Who the heck knows what real earnings are now anyway?
Same as who really knows what the real cost of Obamacare is going to be although we know taxes are implemented and they pretty much have delayed implementation.
Next President gets to deal wth that.
What, like the last 5 persidents have dealt with it? Nothing will change until confidence is lost in the monetary system.
I'm watching level two flows - Its hilarious! This market is trying to sell off BUT the invisible hand keeps banging a surge on every sell volume move. The extreme desperation is palpable.
Yes they forget that the market is not the economy. The economy is fucked, and the market will at some point get fucked
No one to sell to except another comter, and they probably can't build those fast enough.
The PINKO COMMIE Fascist BASTARDS are doing all they can to deceive the masses. When the masses 'wake up' there will be HELL to pay (not that I have much faith in the masses awakening)...STARVE the BEAST!
Job slashing and productivity improvements must have completely stalled out. Not many more options to massage better numbers out of the existing workforce. I expect the buybacks to stop since a lot of that was the company buying stock as the execs cashed out.
Markets fading.
Looks like its SLR sell the ramp from now on.
I need it to hold on for just a little longer until my RSU vest for the year....Come on all you motherfuckers, BTFD!!
During the last 2 years, adhering to the old adage "Never sell a quiet market after a rise" kept you in right to the Jan top.
We no longer have a quiet market after a rise.
Up up & away! Bullish!
It is amazing, I know, but it seems CNBC has actually, finally figured out that there is an alternative media out there.
Unbelievably, they are ACKNOWLEDGING - on TV - that earnings expectations have been FALLING/revised down every quarter.
And then they go back to the "well, now corps should beat" meme.
Its a start, I guess.
Then you get this crap from Morgan Stanley:
Morgan Stanley: Why earning will be better than you thinkhttp://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/talking-numbers/morgan-stanley--why-earning-will-be-better-than-you-think-133658911.html
Imagine if markets traded on fundamentals and reality where this graph matters. Smooth sailing until electons, then its plunge time.
Unless the bankers have had enough Socialism and decide to bury Obama and his friends to kiss up to the next administration.
yeah they need a new fall guy, Barry is wearing thin
I imagine a fundamentally valued market at 50% of its current MOMO valued level....but then, I am an optimist.
More "growth" horeshit? Growth in what, real products of real value?
or
Growth in financial "products" of mass destruction? No thanks.
Growth in manipulation to pump up the phony stocks market because its all thats left.
When Family Dollar Stores closes 370 locations you know the consumer is just buying bare necessities--and if they buy a car they default on their subprime loan but have a new car to drive for a few months
QE infinity, WAHOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Seriously, at some point there has to be a reversal in the markets response to seemingly unlimited bond buying, in that, the market will note the lack of response, ie, futility of that practice and decide to discipline itself. Theres a general consciousness about moral hazard; even though no clear line is drawn, everyone will sense when weve gone to far and that will be that. We are close. When our deficit reaches 19 trillionish, there will be a most uncomfortable and unsettling buzz about the populace, and coupled with a plethora of other disconcerting developments, it could be the trigger for massive unrest - exactly the kind that our authorities and federal govt are planning for
The unexpected snowfall in winter is going to be the end of us all!
Hats off to Hatzius.
You need to turn to Bob Pissonme for positivie news.....hes a happy guy..
Juice your morning.

Joe LaFornicatya has the numbers !
When companies like HPQ factor $5 Bil of receivables in order to brag of $9 Bil of free cash flow, hiding it in the footnotes, and the street buys it, earnings and accounting trouble are just a click away.
Early in the week, they start by sucking in a few more shorts after a gap up open, then pound the market up through Tuesday. Then reality sets in and down she goes. Textbook "stairstepping" down. As controlled as it can be.
Wrong as always. Nothing new to see here, move along.
red flashing warning....BTFD! another momo higher-all-day rally with a 3:30 ramp.
no worries; machines doing their thing.
trading with machines is fun..
Retail sales up, but profits down? So the margins are getting strangulation tight again.
With the ability to do almost instant price comparisons on the internet, the lowest price gets the biz.
I thought that the internet would bring massive margin compression.....as usual I was a few years early, but better late than never.
It will be interesting to see the Q2 predictions. Many expect a March to April snap back and then drop again. Q2 may be the real disappointment.
Earnings smearnings! Cash flow is over-rated!
GAAP That Ass, starring Katja Kassin
The FED isn't 'tapering'. It SAYS it's tapering, it publishes figures that try to convince you of that, but the real story is that they have never tapered and are quietly with no fanfare, (in other words lying thru their Monte Cristo stained dentures) supporting the 12 primary dealers' executives, and managers.
If you buy the FED's inscrutable iterations each month, then you really at this time of the year be searching feverishly for the Easter Bunny or checking out that tomb in Iran that supposedly was the crypt for Jesus.
The globalists do not need US growth. The West which is Canada, the US, Mexico and Western Europe are all one financial system. The US can pay Ukraine's bills and money printing can be re-imbursed by taxes on the French. Inflation can be buried in derivatives sold to China and the US military takes its orders from the UN--so does Obama.
The NWO has taken over all nations equally.
Plain to see. If you have money (millionaires, billionaires) they'll be coming for it soon.
..."If you have money (millionaires, billionaires) they'll be coming for it soon."
Who was it that said, "There's a SUCKER born every minute?" GREED is BLIND.....and then they weeped
They've hit "escape velocity" alright. They've escaped all accountability and are now off the rails.
it is different this time. this is the new america, the detroit america. as niall furgeson famously commented, "it is not fun growing up in a declining empire."
it Sucks Growing up and Now Growing Old in Michigan.. my dad thought Ronald Reagan was going to save us. LOL..
ronny raygun saved me. the chrysler bailout was my first huge market score.

I don't know if there is "A" Tyler Durden, or if it's a bunch of guys ghost writing, but 'your' writiing cracks me up!
I just love those digs at the end of an intro!
