US Equities Rediscover Risk As Ukraine Choppers Downed
Broad US equity markets stumbled out of the gate this morning but it's Tuesday so the BTFT traders rescued it. However, when news of 2 downed helicopters in Ukraine hit, stocks tumbled once again with Russell 2000 (small caps) and Dow Transports (the highest hig beta recently) getting slammed... USDJPy ramp efforts continue to save us from terrible Tuesday. Bonds and FX are not reacting so far...

This is bad for gold right?
And ps greetings to our huge new fan base of posters

I'm trying to decide if you are an NSA troll, you've posted a link to that propaganda three times already.
WTF is with the Ukraine military losing more choppers after the loss of 15 crew last week by a "Stinger" type missile!?
3 is a charm. Euthanize, the only way to be sure.
If they're gonna keep spamming the BuzzFeed article, I might as well re-post links about SMISC:

That BuzzFeed article goes to great lengths to paint any critic of American foreign policy as a "troll" working for a foreign government. One wonders if the article itself isn't the work of Uncle Sam's own troll army.
How to get Cointel pro back in the box? Nobody seems to care how much malinvestment goes into these programs because they are black ops with no bugetary oversight. For all we know it's US trolls vs US Trolls because they aren't flying flags.
an aside, you ever wonder why Zerohedge is targeted to a deranged subset of 'Mericans who are clutching guns and gold as the be all end all of human liberty?
Apparently my sarcasm is thicker than the fur in Ayn Rands girdle! Don't you see the influx of rather high level new posters suddenly? The Chinese trollers were easier to spot, they just can't feel the language. These Ruskies however have a better grasp, tell me you guys don't see this too?
"And ps greetings to our huge new fan base of posters"
Said the NSA troll to the Kremlin trolls.
But can you deny this accurate, even if one of Russia's 7 man troll army that posted it:
"Obama did shit his pants while talking about foreign affairs, how you can feel yourself psychologically comfortable with pants full of shit?"
Too bad the US is a giant clusterfuk of foreign policy. Russia does not need trolls to explain it.
When you become a beta mind control patsy, you will learn to disconnect from the uncomfortable reality of what you are programmed to perform. Obama's job is to convincingly read the script he is handed, even I could do that with a pair of breifs full of sticky brown mud, now boxers that's going to cause a containment breach and need a SS agent to run a diversion while I squeeze my pant leg out stage left.
There are a few couple of metaphors floating around there on O's foreign policy.
Russian: Obama 'Leaned Forward' (TM) and grabed his ancles to demonstrate his flexibility so Putin had his way with him.
Chinise: U.S. Foreign Policy Has ‘Erectile Dysfunction’ Problems.
This actually explains a lot.
C'mon Tyler, you guys know enough about SEO to realize what's going on with this guy. Sucks to be manipulated for someone's personal agenda.
Sooooo.... BTFD then.
I don't even see a dip? S&P down 4 points to 1920? 10yr up 17bps from the lows and comfortably back above 2.5%? Time to go throw the ball to the dog or take the kids to the park. The bernakyellen has things all squared away.
It's pretty bad when "risk" is 6pts off the S&P. There sure isn't any fear being expressed in bonds. Enjoy the day old Yeller has your back.
yeah you do the same Doc.
The Russel 2000 and Trannies are the hardest hit. Do you guys even read the articles anymore? This butt buddy gold bug & guns club needs to come to a full stop. Your welcome Tylers.
The Russell and the trannies aren't even down 1% . They are hardly "slammed" as the article states.
Oh and BTW it's, you're (as in you are) welcome Tylers.
He just forgot the apostrophe as in:
You'r,
its the new ebonics/spanglish slang version.
Get with the program.
#itsabigclubfullofstupididiotsandyournotinit
LOL! Exactly... More paranoia and an opportunity to rip shorts. Again. If you keep falling for the same thing over and over you have only yourself to blame. It's not only pathetic but you are willingly allowing yourself to be used by professionals. As to "Gold and guns club"? That doesn't even deserve an answer.
I say we start a Hookers and Blow club to go along with our Gold and Guns club.
A merry band of mercenary we are.
I second that motion.
Well... Treasuries have been in nose bleed territory for over five years now. So depends on the asset class.
The issuance needed for war with Russia...and possibly China...would be staggering.
Contrary to popular opinion I would regard that as bullish...should
it be backed up with some serious boots on the ground.
Putin is not gonna mess around. If he feels Moscow is being threatened in some way he will order attack.
Black cock down!
"US Equities Rediscover Risk As Ukraine Choppers Downed"
Seriously? You jump all over the mainstream media for sensationalism, but don't hold yourself to the same criteria? We're down 5 fucking points, hardly "rediscovering risk." I love ZH, but let's keep it honest.
Hello, look at the trannies and Russel 2000, the chart (albeit a cherry picked one) is pretty clear.
Jesus H Christ are you all looking at the DJIA NASDAQ AND S&P from the front of Kitco's gold spot page or something?
who said anything about gold? If you want to kiss tyler's ass feel free, but no need to go ad hominem about it, fuckface.
Doubt I would have called the chart out as cherry picked if I were here to kiss ass. I mentioned the Kitco gold spot page, not gold. Get your facts straight Fonz and we'll be cool.
this back and forth with you over such trivial shit is only a testament to how wrong the title of the article is. I have let you disturb my walk on this beautiful day. shame on me. keep an eye on those trannies for me.
"Beautiful day", I want some of what your smoking. If you could only stick to the facts there would be no reason to correct you. There is no back and forth here, only setting you straight.
when you woke up this am did you say "I'm going to ruin someone's walk today"? because thats what happened. That's EXACTLY what happened. and you will have to live the rest of your life knowing you can't take that back.
ZH has always sensationalized any slight negative news. Now it's worse than ever. I'm guessing they've lost a shit load of visitors to the site after 5 years of telling everyone how horrible the entire world is only to see markets hit new highs every day. They need visitors to keep the ads to generate revenue. So, when you've been wrong for five years, you have to start to blow up the smallest negatives to keep people reading. I don't think it's working.
Nobody's holding a gun to your head. Your more than welcome to go hang out on Market Watch or the HuffPost.
Plenty of sites for you to troll on; The always asinine Newser, as Pure said - the silly, shitty Huffington Fuckbama suckie dickie Post, the tits-a-poppin cnbc hot babes and not much else shite-site.
Oh, and for you trash lovers - everything Yahoo.
The Huffy and Newser posts are knee-slapping laughable.
You'll get comments like "I think Nancy Pelosi will go down in history as one of the best SOH ever!" and the always popular "Tax The Rich!!" - from guys living at Mom's - in the basement - Mac & Cheese encrusted bowls piled up, lube and porn streaming 24/7, and the old family couch now replete with pecker tracks from "self-love".
....of course, living off the gubbermint teat, over some "disability"
Fucking Nazi animals are killing women and children with indiscriminate air strikes. http://cs618616.vk.me/v618616675/9889/KJejZ_lnG5I.jpg
And its not even August yet.
"Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war".
I guess NATO has run out victims to slaughter in Afghanistan now that the predator drone program is winding down in Pakistan.
Either that or killing brown people is no longer fashionable and killing white people indiscriminately is now the Du jour.
S&P down a tremendous -2 points.
The Ukraine situation is well understood from the first panic sell. Things there quietened down and the risk of US/Europe getting involved receeded. Markets are awaiting tomorrows EU gdp/Beige book, then the big one is thursday with ECB, with NFPs on friday also. Expect volatility into the end of the week.
Funny US markets. When a city center is attacked by a missile firing ground attack jet, and bodies line the streets, no reaction in markets. Because these were enemies killed. But if America's client state, the rump Kiev coup Ukraine, suffers a loss, then markets plunge. We all see why this is the case, the markets know this battle is to capture Ukraine and add it to the US captured markets list. If the East wins, then Ukraine as an US puppet becomes very dubious as a propostion.
