World's Largest Stock Exchange Index Takes Out Crucial Support

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With over $16 trillion in market capitalization represented, the NYSE Composite Index is the world's largest.. and today it took out its 200-day moving-average for the first time since late 2012.

 

 

That time it was a false breakdown as soon after Bernanke rescued the world's wealthy by unveiling open-ended QE... this time that's not going to happen...

On Thursday, Turkey’s 550-seat parliament voted 298-98 in favor of the motion that would provide the legal ground for Ankara to deploy forces to Iraq and Syria and launch attacks against ISIL terrorists, members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and even Syrian government forces.

Translation: 1) pay lip service to American GWOT 2) attack uppity Kurds 3) Expand Ottoman empire

I expect they're all going to chop sideways like the RUT has been all year.  When the Fed hikes rates next year, it will stop, drop and roll until the Fed finally relents and throws more gasoline on the fire in another attempt to put it out.

Fed raise rates?

Seriously?

What do you do when ZIRP fails?

Start NIRP

I know.  I catch a little heat for believeing they will raise rates next year.  The problem with believing they WON'T is that assumes those MOTUs at the Fed are omnipotent and choose a path based on data that is accurate and up-to-date (or maybe they have a crystal ball), using rationality and calm, unbiased level-headed decision making based on what's best for major US banks (if that helps the US economy indirectly, it's only by accident).  But that isn't how it works.

They are ACADEMICS.  Elitist PhD ACADEMICS.  With BIG egos.  They don't respond to circumstances, they MAKE the circumstances (in their minds).  They will proceed down a path to raising rates because their models tell them it must be done.  But more importantly, because their egos tell them it must be done.  They will MAKE it happen and everyone will fall in line behind them.  Downward spirals as that process unfolds will be dismissed as "transitory" for a LONG time before they realize they've made a grave error and eventually reverse course RAPIDLY in the other direction.

So, like it Poker, you can either play the cards or play the man.  There are plenty of people who can play the cards better than I can.  My strength, if I have one, is that I'm pretty good at playing the man on the other side of the table.

Precisely right... this time the QE won't be revealed. That whole transparancy thing hasn't worked out well for the Fed lately.

Who cares...markets going up on ponzi for ever central bank intervention hopium...markets love Ebola in the U.S. And WW3 on the horizon with Russia...wait till Ebola confirms it's first case in Europe in the next 2 weeks...
Surely that just means more central bank QE...and remember...the dead can't sell stocks. Let's close this bitch up 125 Dow points today...maybe deescalation of Ebola better than expected it's contained cases??

well there you have it --- its all good & we're ok. coincidence (which i don't believe in) how obama @the very same time is in the midwest talking to "the everyday, regular, ma & pa folks" about how well the stock market economy has performed under his watch.

WWait a minute. I'm confused now. Do you mean to say that stocks do NOT go up in a straight line fashion in perpetuity??

Thu, 10/02/2014 - 15:40 | 5281503 stopthejunk1

Not "in perpetuity."

Only when most people are afraid, and sit on the sidelines.

When it's so "safe" that everybody piles in, *that's* when you get a crash.

This is how you know that gold is going nowhere but down: everybody knows about it, even grandpa and grandma are into it, 13-year old kids have coins.

Don't you kids know a fad when you see one? Haven't you learned the difference between "punk" and "trendy"? Punk makes money. Trendy loses it. And no, this is *not* the same as contrarianism, which is just a bunch of reactionary bullshit. Contrarians are followers just like everyone else, except that they're also misanthropes.

Although not a single soul was around to hear it and I have no documented proof, I called the bottom this morning when the S&P bounced off of 1930.

Yeah it will happen again - it has never truly stopped happening for a long time now. The only thing the FED know how to do is create money and I don't see any reason in the world why they would stop doing that. It's not like money is hard to create out out of thin air. Raise interest rates? Let the stock market tank? Admit Keynes was wrong? Abandon national socialism? Use gold and silver as alternative currencies? Are you fucking nuts? These so called economists would sell their mothers if it got their politician employers re-elected and kept their paychecks coming. Bullish stocks forever.
