Bad News Is "Bad" News - Stocks Drop, Bonds/Gold Pop

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It appears the sad reality that a consistently tapering Fed won't be able to support this fairy castle with words (forward guidance) alone as - rather unusually -this morning's double whammy of bad news has been taken as "bad news" by the market. Thanks to decisive break below 102 in USDJPY, stocks are dropping and bonds are rallying. Gold and silver are well bid (as copper and oil slide) and the USD is fading fast.

whatever happens "they" will not allow anyone but themsleves to make money on the way down. If you short stocks/indexes "they will know it and even in the midst of a terrible bear "they" will orchestrate wicked rip your face off rallies to take your money. If you use options "they" sell those, "they" set the price, and "they" rig them for MAX PAIN. the only way to win is not to play [/wopr]

It was a really bad winter. Definitely worse than 2008 when every bank was going under and the financial system was being vaporized and everyone lost 35% of their retirement funds and home values. But I remember thinking "hey, it's not so bad, I think I will spend some money". But this past winter we got snow that one week and then the following week we got some snow again and I was all like "wow, this is really bad. I am not going to spend money".

In other shocking news, CNBS is still yelling buy, buy, buy, because stock prices are still low and the Q2 data is trending up.  I hate to give the story away, but when the Q2 numbers come in at -2 they will be shouting don't worry about the number, look at the trend.  

If they still showed the 3 stooges on tv I'd be watching that but CNBS is a good substitute.

Every Aussie I speak to is convinced the next move by the RBA will be up (at 2.5%). I'm sure theres money in shorting AUD against USD or GBP.

I'm more interested in how the Middle East expects to sustain its population in an era of depleted and/or higher priced oil. The desalinisation plants and air conditioning will become too expensive to operate economically and their economies are based almost exclusively around oil extraction. The local population barely recieves a basic level of education, and who else would want to live in an arid shit hole?

Reports such as this highlight the ever increasing infrastructure risks we face.
Dubai and all "Arid shitholes" are way too far down the supply chain - if and when something fails...and the greater the complexity......

(report is prepared for USA - applies equally to other complex infrastructues - especially where ALL food is imported!)

how come no one on here has gotten it through their neanderthal brains that the only thing that will take down the market is actual growth. I may not do it just yet but you can bet your ass I will be btfd. I will grab some bawnds too. SPY yielding 2% plus and some 10yr UST's at 2.5%.....fantastic.

gold doesn't pop, it runs into a wall at $1320 and fails for about the 50th time in the last two months.  It cannot get through there and thus, has only one way to go if it cannot.  If gold cannot get through $1320, it will go down with stocks, that is the plan and anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.

This is all rearview mirror stuff.  We need to look ahead.

In looking ahead we see things are improving.

Remember, the VIX is still low.

It is a stock pickers market.  Liquidity will find its way into risky assets.

There will be a cyclical rotation out of profitability driven stawks ---

Into bankruptcy driven opportunities.

QE will morph into Business Support or BS.

Don’t fight the FED!
