Spot The Odd "Market" Out
One of these things is not like the other; one of these things just doesn't belong; can you tell which thing is not like the others, by the time you finish this song?
Wondering where all the exuberance is? Transports of course!!!!!

I can almost guarantee that everything will catch up to equities. Don't stop BTFATH!
Yep, it is a rigged market. So participate. Come get ya some.
Hey, wadda ya know! It's the same odd market out for the last 5 years. I could take this test in my sleep.
These slow motion melt ups are killing me
Every day I ask myself - who is buying this market?
Me. I bought some ALDW this am. BTFD BTFD BTFD.
ZIRP 4eva. Buy stawks. Buy bawnds.
I have a confession to make. This entire bubble in equities is my fault.
I did not realize it at first, but someone had planted a bug in my room and inserted a key-stroke grabber on my computer that enabled them to see every bid & offer I've made in the last few years.
Every time I tried to place a bid, THEY watched the camera and saw my bid. Next THEY would improve my bid by a 0.001. I would get frustrated, so I would raise my bid. Once again, THEY would move in front of me. This went on for many months.
Then when I thought the market was overbought, I started to short, which was very easy to do - too easy. When the market went against me, I tried to buy back on the bid, and again, THEY kept stepping in front of me.
But I've found the camera hidden inside a laptop, which was sitting on the side of my desk, and I've re-installed my OS, so everything is clean now. I've removed all phones from my office as well, because I know they had tapped into the phone. I keep all the shades closed, so no one can use long-range cameras to see what I'm doing on my computer.
The market should go back to normal now.
Please accept my apologies.
here's what happened. two sock puppets were talking to each other and you tried to join the conversation.
Apologies accepted. Can you please send me and the other 100k+ traders globally an instruction manual on how to debug our workspace?
Its really easy.
When one of those guys from India calls you and requests remote access to your computer, follow his instructions exactly as described.
If you are an experienced computer user, try using the FDISK command
ZH'ers sure do spell funnie
We inherited it through osmosis from Tyler.
Government forced education system. Don't believe me, just ax em.
O.J Simpson's son: "Dad. can I borrow the white Bronco tonight?"
O.J: "Go axe your mother."
"this market" is just a few algos playing pong. i have a better question. can someone name me one entity which will sell in size through the exchange?
guys like @conorsen who today proposed that the GDP figure made no sense because "earnings" from 1st Q gave no warning whatsoever. Go figure that...MANAGED earnings gave no signal! What was the next part of the thought process? Perhaps we change the calculation process! FTW. This is why you can only buy... nobody wants to go back to real market signals anymore.
There is your first mistake....you think this is a market and not a policy tool. As far as who is BTFD....I have been taking advantage free currency and BTFD then taking profits and plowing them into PMs.
Ditto. Well, and expensive booze.
Me 3
Every now and again I ask myself if it is wise to be so heavily weighted in PM's, especially silver. But then I walk into my local dealer and hold an American Eagle in my hand and think, " so the market is telling us that they can mine this silver, refine it, and process it for $20???"
And I walk out with another pocket full of silver. Pricing fundamentals are just too skewed to disregard.
When that trend dies, it is going to die hard. When you think about it, the trend is established to get the lowly masses to believe the trend will always continue and BTFD is an easy way to make easy money. I suspect the trend was established to begin the unwind and then when real valuations begin to take hold again, TPTB are unwound or hedged and ones again Ma and Pa have been suckered into being the bagholder (again).
The $64k question is, when it happens this time, what tools does the Fed have left?
Bad news...stocks up...good news stocks up...no news stocks up...how can you go wrong...?
IRS Employees Union Is 'Very Concerned' About Being Required To Enroll In Obamacare's Health Insurance Exchanges - Forbes
FUCKING HYPOCRITES!
Interesting, you would think that they would be more "concerned" with their IT support. How many organizations run e-mail through the employee's personal computer? what a bunch of hacks...
Fuck'em sideways with the Titanic!
If Americans had any balls the IRS employees would be more concerned abou burial plots.
Edit: look there are two of them now junking you.
The IRS employees, like "da troops", are just doing their job. If people questioned the bullshit of their society where would we be?
In about 999 years the People will wake up and put these mother fuckers against a wall. 999 years without a minute....
Reagan should have busted up all the fucking federal government unions back when he demolished the Air Traffic Contollers.
and the Russell futures up 20 handles from the days low...sigh
That'd be all of them.
Joe Lavorna must be expecting 7% 3rd qtr growth because the economy can't be bad and 1st qtr must be the weather
Does this mean we're going back to $85 Billion/month of QE, negative interest rate policy (NIRP), or both?
Bert? Ernie? Big Bird?
Nope, still can't see it...
Alan Greenspan
ship shipping ships ?
Which one is tracking winter?
Just remember folks.
1. The poor Q1 GDP was caused by bad weather.
2. The bad weather was caused by climate change.
3. Do not put two and two together and realize to have climate change, were going to have lots of bad GDP numbers.
Yep, I noticed the climate is warmer in the summer and colder in the winter. 6 months ago it was cold. Now it is warm. There you go....climate change...
If the GNP print was negative 4. Would the market be up 200
Nothing says "Buy Buy Buy!!!" like a major contraction in GDP.
Buying the dip is ALWAYS going to work. Going to take something extreme to get investors to stop doing that.
errr... "investors?"
You mean Fed's chosen few who are ordered to keep this thing aloft come hell or high water?
Just buy!!! They are getting ready to eliminate 'dips'...just too dangerous for freedom. All up from here so just buy, don't worry...be happy.
How many times in the last 5.5 years have we looked at these charts and all said what the heck is going on here.....to many to count....it just keeps going up and up....on nothing
Ben told us exactly what to do. But, some of us didn't listen.
The bullshit print still included the intangibles added last year. Drop at leadt 1.25% for that.
Not like it matters. We're in a depression, all statistics are noise to try and hide that fact.
Prior to 2008-09 Retailers loaded aisles with new merchandise. Target put out amazing back to school stuff. There was actual inventory of patio sets, grills, etc. Now there is no inventory and the college collection is pillows and $10 desk lamps. Retail is a channel stuffing vehicle forbwhatever company is going public next. You saw it once again with GoPro. Sure Best Buy had them, and other retailers. But starting a few months ago they just started showing up everywhere. GoPro got to book the sales to support the IPO, but the demand isn't there for the inventory stocked.
Everything is mirage. On the surface it looks great, but once you get a good look the amazing visual disappears. Every real company I knowbis barely hanging on.
The Fed has created a Hollywood set. We're living in a fabricated reality created to enrich the few who have manipulated thier way to total control.
People say to just join in and invest. For what? Give more cash to worthless corporations so they can continue to destroy the real economy. The average person doesn't have enough cash to matter if they lose thier job. Even turning $15k into $100k isn't going to matter without employment. That $100k might last two years, but then what?
The solution as it has always been is to see if bankers can fly when dropped off tall buildings.
I watched the documentary of the 1929 stock market crash on youtube the other night. This exact same exuberance was happening as it is today.
Then they all woke up on a Thursday (i think) with futures jaw dropping in the red.
This is going to happen once again people!!
No, this is the terminal melt up.
Just like Zimbabwe, the stawks will carry on rising until they are worthless.
This market will just close one Friday forever,don't be in it when it does.
well clearly some central bank buying today ...
"Central banks around the world, including China’s, have shifted decisively into investing in equities. Every source we have has been reporting this trend. As low-interest rates have hit their revenues and countries like Switzerland have suffering with the Euro and the collapse in gold, equities is rapidly becoming the new reserve."
Martin Armstrong - June 16th, 2014
Can someone tell me What-The-Fuck? How can we have a -2.9% GDP print AND a -1.0 May durable good orders.... And this fuckin S&P up .48% today?
Can somebody tell me what the fuck???
Because more badness means the expectation of more free money from the Fed which will allow the gamblers to leverage their bets even more. It's all based on expectations of the future.
With inflation running up? The market has to realize the FED can't do any more to heal an economy. When is the public going to realize that their last QE experiment went horribly wrong. The FED provided over 1.4 Trillion in liquidity and we just printed -2.9% on GDP growth. Common people wake up! B
Re: The market has to realize the FED can't do any more to heal an economy
The Fed's job isn't to heal the economy. It's to enrich the bank owners. They are successeding beyond their wildest dreams.
Re: When is the public going to realize that their last QE experiment went horribly wrong
The public will realise something is wrong (but they won't know exactly what) when their cable is cut off.
Because they already knew what the GDP print was going to be, and manufactured another short squeeze. I'm going to short the open tomorrow into any strength. You guys are wrong if you think they can keep doing this.
wtf...is today Tuesday?
thought I had seen it all, but this move on those figures was just pue utter manipulation, CB's buying Indexes all afternoon, after everything was selling off bigtime, just utter bollox
There is no crony capitalism, only crony communism.
This new economy is wonderfully stable. I have heard it can't really go down much.
true, the e-mini/USDJPY correlation was a little weak today, but the e-mini/Nikkei futures link was spot on.
