"Costs" - Russia +2.35%; Nasdaq -0.3%

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Spot the nation that just had "major sanctions" handed down to it...

 

 

What is fascinating is the ramp in US equities managed to catch them up to Russia's post-sanctions outperformance... before they collapsed again... almost as if someone wanted to prove that US was not suffering.

The gold has been moved to Asia and India, now the dollar can regain strength.  Taper on.  However, this doesn't mean that gold is going down relative to the dollar.  I am talking about stock market, digital dollar, not physical gold.  I suspect gold is going to take off.

Yes, apparently fonestar has developed quite the following over at https://bitcointalk.org.  Not sure why, as fonestar brings little to the table technically and even less in terms of trading experience.

Insurance on Russian debt rising with these useless sanction and silly finance games

htTp://www.tradingeconomics.com/russia/government-debt-to-gdp

8.4% debt to GDP

The insurance is needed against US debt since they are already defaulting via QE

htTp://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/government-debt-to-gdp

101% debt to GDP

It will be interesting to see if economic sanctions can in reality do much damage to Russia. And if they did the repercussions on Europe and thus the USA could be far greater!!

If that pro-Russian mayor that was shot in the back dies, then it would serve as an "Archduke Ferdinand" excuse for Putin to invade.

Ain't it funny how the timing will correspond nicely with May Day...

For you youngsters out there, May Day was a huge Soviet Union holiday that was big on military parades to intimidate the West.

Update:  Well, it's hard to tell from press reports what the mayor's politics are.  Now they are saying he was against Russian invasion, while others imply he switched sides (?)

Do we now see WTF it means to have a low debt to GDP economy with natural resources? I personally think this is all being done on purpose to kill the dollar and have an event to blame. I suggest everyone learns how to grow food and prpare for lean times.

Apparently Obama plays chess, but infrequently. He favors poker, which he is apparently quite good at. The one thing a chess player would expect of a poker player: bluffing.

All you Russian trolls, go home.  And you Americans who don't know you history, give these trolls your ignorant support.

And, Zerohedge...make up you mind.  One article is about the machines blindly working the market and paying no attention to 'facts', and the next, it it an article like this spam 'sally has red hair' conclusion.

No wonder so many have left this site, the old quality stories is giving way to joe blow blogs and sensationism.

Sad is all I can think of because now I have to question what I read a bit more if at all.

"All you Russian trolls, go home."

Russian trolls my ass. You fall into holes very easily.

Just because many people on ZH slam their own government does not mean they are supporters of the Russian system of government. Far from it.

The best explanation is that people are utterly disgusted and angry at what their own criminal government is doing to their country and what it's dragging their country into.

Those who fail to question and challenge the criminal actions of their government are destined to suffer its consequences. And there will be plenty.

I think DoomJunkie is right that "the problem with posting articles like this is that in 10 minutes things may change." The graph also ignores what had already changed in the recent past - the markets have been pricing in the possibility of war for a few weeks now, so today's bump up in Russia may simply reflect that the sanctions weren't as bad as the markets expected, or a correction to what is now perceived as an earlier over-reaction, or any number of other possible explanations. Let's wait and see what actually happens in the markets and on the ground in the eastern Ukraine for the next few weeks.

I see, so because things are subject to change, we shouldn't pay attention to anything.

You really think that's an answer to what I or DoomJunkie actually said? I didn't say don't pay attention to anything - just the opposite - I'm saying that you shouldn't think you're gaining any real understanding from a snapshot of a moving scene, and ignoring the context. Maybe you missed the part about paying attention to what was already happening before this snapshot was taken.

Greenhorn here, but I doubt the mathematics:

1. If Russia is scaled up to roughly 1100 and shows a delta-y of 40, then the US, being scaled up to 3000+, should be scaled to a delta-y of roughly 120? Looks like the wrong sizing for the comparison.

2. Comparing the breaking news, your intersection of the two graphs should be right at the blue vertical bar.
