"It's Nervous Time" For Holders Of These "90-Day Breakdowns"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Since stock "market" fundamentals haven't mattered in about 6 years, maybe it is the technicals that do (not really: only the Fed's $4.455 trillion in "assets" matters but that's a different story). In which case, here is a chart of the SPX with the key 50 and 200 DMA support levels: keep an eye on the red line - if the 1904 support is broken, it's a long way down.

 

That's the macro. What about the micro?

For the answer we go to the list of 90-day breakouts and breakdowns.

As a reminder, a 90-day breakdown is a sign of technical weakness. Stocks with 90-day breakdowns are those that reach a 90-day low with volume greater than +1 standard deviation from the 90-day average of volume. And the opposite, or bullish, for breakouts.

Here is the latest list of breakouts: BDX, CB, COST, D, DRIV, DTE, DUK, ED, HAWK, HAWKB, INN, KO, KR, PJC/A CN, SO, STE and WMT

As for breakdowns, well...

AAL, ABB, ABX, ACI, ADI, AES, AG, AGCO, AIG, ALGT, ALK, ALU, AMID, ANR, ANV, ANV, AON, APA, APC, ARMH, ARP, ATEN, ATH CN, ATVI, AUY, AVP, BBEP, BHI, BHP, BMS, BTE, BTE CN, CAJ, CAM, CAT, CCE, CFX, CHK, CLF, CLR, CMC, CMRE, CNQ, CNQ CN, CNW, CNX, COG, COP, COS CN, COSWF, CPG, CPG CN, CR, CTCM,  CVE, CVE CN, CVX, CX, CXO, CYOU, DAL, DDS, DE, DOV, DRQ, DVN, EC, ECA, EMES, EOG, EPE, ERF, ERF CN, ESL, ESV, EVEP, F, FLR, FLS, FM CN, FMC, FR CN, FST, FTI, FWM, GG, GM, GOLD, GSK, GSS, GT, GWR, HAL, HAYN, HBM, HCLP, HES, HP, HSE CN, HSIC, HUN, IAG, IGM CN , IMG CN, INT, ITT, JCP, KEX, KGC, LGCY, LIF, LLTC, LOPE, LPI, LPX, LRE, MAN, MCEP, MDCO, MG, MGA, MMLP, MON, MT, NBR, NE, NEM, NGD, NGD CN, NLSN, NOV, NWSA, OAS, OXY, PAAS, PBCT, PCLN, PD CN, PGF CN, PGH, PPG, PTEN, PWE, PXD, QRE, RDS/A, ROK, ROSE, RPM, RPT, RTI, SAP, SAVE, SCCO, SCHN, SDRL, SLB, SLCA, SLW, SSW, STO, SU, SU CN, TAL, TCK, TCK/B CN, TCS, TEN, TGI, TLM CN, TLP, TMK, TOO, TXT, UBS, UNM, URI, UTX, VET, VET CN, VIP, VNO, VNR, VSH, WDR, WFT, WLK, WLL, WLT, WMMVY and ZNGA.

I get a kick out of ZH and these articles, ZH predicts market will go down for 6 years and justifies its bad calls with "Since stock "market" fundamentals haven't mattered in about 6 years".   Thanks for the laughs ZH, now go collect your half penny for all the ads on this site for me visiting.  Even a broken clock is right twice a day.   Eventually ZH will be right because why, well percentages.   The reason they were kicked out of the industry is quite apparent now.

Markets down ~5% from all-time highs.  Because reasons.

Everyone freak out (or cheer, depending on your point of view) because reasons.

Lather, rinse, repeat.  I believe that's the basic formula.

What I want to see is a credible threat of global banking contagion.  That's when the wheels really come off and I'm not seeing it yet.  Next thing that happens is the CNBC tele-jockeys come out and start talking about how low oil prices are a real boost to the economy.  Fed will make some "statement" that will be interpreted (correctly) as an eternal backstop.  And we're off.

Please form a single file and remain calm as you form a line and carefully head for the exit door.

Also, there is no bubble in equities, no bubble in bonds (including Liberian bonds), there is every reason to believe that historic corporate record debt levels are a healthy development, the unemployment rate is really 6%, the banking system is solvent, that China really has an economic growth rate of 7.4%, the EU has turned the corner, and record levels of consumer and household debt combined with record low savings won't be problematic issues.

P.S. - Did you see our fancy, scary Ebola Gumby Hazmat suits on an airplane lately? You may want to hurry and complete registering for ObamaCare or you may be bitten by a Liberian Fruitbat while shopping for bananas at the grocery store and have no recourse.

Now, sit back, relax and wait for Janet Yellen or Charles Evans to blather something about low interest rates, yada, yada, and thank you for flying with Banana Republic Central Bank Airlines. We may have a 4.4 trillion balance sheet, but "we got this."

We've reached the stage of diminishing marginal returns. The FED is beyond insolvent and a dollar of QE produces no GDP growth anymore. Just asset inflation, which will ultimately become hyperinflation

The FED knows this. Hyperinflating wipes out banks' assets of mortgages and loans, so don't assume we'll go there. Thinking anything can go on indefinitely reveals a profound stupidity found only in those who desperately WANT it to go on forever.

The list of breakouts is more informative than the breakdowns. "Companies that will do well (short term) when ebola breaks out". Don't expect Costco Krogers and Walmart to do well AFTER if breaks out fully. I just did the major Costco run yesterday but I won't be shopping in warehouse stores after pestilence breaks out.

Here's the deal.  I work in the construction industry fabricating and erecting steel (insert erection joke here).  If every central bank and government in the world was propping up my industry by buying buildings and structures that either sit vacant or get bulldozed just to be done again, I would look like a genius with my sports cars, multiple homes, lavish office, etc.  I would borrow money to expand my shop, buy all the latest CNC fabricating equipment,  and buy up competitors.  But if the central banks and governments ever stopped supporting my industry, it would not be long before I learned there was not enough organic demand to fill my millions of square feet of shop space and keep my thousands of shop guys employed.  The problem with the poster above (I forget his name and it's not even worth it to check) is that he's too arrogant to think that he's not smarter or more savvy than your typical Joe Sixpack, and too dumb to realize that the entire financial industry is Weekend at Bernie's with the Fed and EBC in the rolls of Andrew McCarthy and what's-his-face.  In fact, in retrospect, the smartest person in the world when it comes to investing turns out to be Obama, who said (paraphrasing) "now is a good time to buy."  No charts, no analysis, no logic, no reason, no newsletters, no clickbait, and no daily/weekly appearances on CNBC.  Just "buy."

I have said nothing that is not the Truth or in context.   What I don't understand they keep promoting the "helicopters are coming" and then they predict the market to instantly crater for years and years.  Its Peter Schiff mentality.   He wrong a book "Crash Proof", yet all his clients lost 50-70% just like everyone else, I guess his definition of "crash proof" is not losing 100%. (I don't know).

It clearly is right on the mark, as you felt the need to challenge the Truth with a non-discussion remark.  ZH just puts out 10-20 articles a day, most of the articles actually don't make sense as a group, as many of the articles say the exact opposite of other articles.   When it doesn't work out, of course, it's the market fault.... good luck with all that... pretty obvious why they are not in the industry.

Truth:  Read ZH and you will be convinced that the world will end tomorrow.  And then it doesn't.  Any of us who have been here more than a month or two know that.

But the numbers are still there.  And no-one tells us what piece of information is missing that allows us to ignore the numbers.  You have the opportunity but you don't do it.

If someone is wrong then tell us why it is wrong.  We're listening.
But if all you can do is call ZH a bunch of losers then you're an even bigger loser for not having anything better to do than hang around a loser website hurling insults at a bunch of losers.  Grow up and get on with your life.  Or can't you?

Fundamentals havent mattered. Numerous examples of stocks with zero net worth and we see stocks soar. If it wasnt for Fed injections, govt back loans and forced low interest rates what do you think the markets would look like? All that is happening is the rest of the world is catching up to Japan. Corporations are now instituting self QE with massive buybacks trying to hold the line for as long as possible.
Debt ( pers+corp+gov) to GDP is 340%. You tell me where the sound economics is in that?

You TOO can be a broker, in 4 easy steps: 

1. Buy "stock" in things you use every day - food, toilet paper, water, PM's (gold, silver, brass, lead, and steel). 

2. Sell "stock" in things you don't need - Sell all the random, dumb, unnecessary crap you've accumulated over the years. 

3. Don't waste your time in paper markets, that value toy companies like AAPL more than they value companies that produce goods and services essential to maintaining life itself. 

4. Buy some popcorn and a comfy chair for the Big Show - it might take a while, but when the bubble finally does pop, the results will be spectacular.

Now they've tanked and are at all time lows.  Which I'm thinking is great.  Just like the silver and gold paper prices are so nastily and criminally undervalued, I'm thinkin' JNUG and NUGT are pretty damn well bottomed out right now or very close to it.

Thinking of adding more to lower my cost average per share and see what happens.  Like silver and gold, the downside risk from here in miners and phyzz is very minimal compared to the upside potential once the SHTF and the stampede of sheeple, hedgies, and pension funds starts flooding into PM's and miners. 

Oh well, either way it was my "play" money to see how I'd do and use any profits for more phyzz.  So I'm patient and can wait this shit out for years if that's what it takes. 

Like they say, it's all just paper and you haven't lost or gained anything until you actually sell.  But the goal at this point in the casino game of crooks for us minor leaguers should be to scrape any profits we can from the paper game and use it for stackin' more phyzz.

Have a great weekend al....and keep on stackin'!!!

Technical analysis has been completely irrelevant since 2008 and possibly since 1987 or earlier,  Stop talking about whether stock markets are "efficient" or "inefficient".  They are neither.  They don't tell us anything about value or the intentions of participants.  It is a rigged game where those "in the know"  make money on the way up and on the way down.  Volatility is welcome, that's how money is really made.

Okay...so shove your technical analysis up yer ass.

When you're dealing with the biggest energy boom in world history "it takes a lot of energy to make a lot of energy." In a country with a nuclear fleet in excess of 100 it's not hard to imagine massive economies can be created here.

One simple change for the Oblunger would be to require an entity...and I mean ANY...getting a SINGLE Federal dollar to create on site power.

Simply put "the taxpayer ain't gonna pay for that."

"(not really: only the Fed's $4.455 trillion in "assets" matters but that's a different story)"

ah, pure Tyler poetry. Well done. only...It's a different story, except that perhaps it isn't, or at least it's strongly related...

now, why is it that we used to enjoy all those comparisons between the FED's balance sheet and the ECB's balance sheet?

fonz, for example, had just recently a small discussion with me about that, here and in particular here (the background is Ilene's old article "(The) Great Euro Bailout by the U.S. FED", which I find hard to disprove yet even harder to be convinced of, considering the below and other aspects

so I made for him a small timeline of balance sheets

- the ECB balance sheet was T in July 2011, it increased to T in July 2012, and then the LTROs started to be repaid, and now the ECB's balance sheet is 1 trillion lower, at the trillion mark in September 2014, which is the same mark as in October 2008

- the FED's balance sheet: in October 1st 2008, at 1.5 trillion. In November 1st, 2008, at 2.0 T. In July 2011, at 2.8 T. In July 2012, 2.8 T. Now, in September 2014... 4.4 T

here the sources http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/WALCL & http://fredblog.stlouisfed.org/2014/05/the-ecbs-balance-sheet-continues-...

enjoy. and don't forget: as long as we tolerate megabusinesses and in particularly megabanks, we have to expect this kind of stuff. no, my argument is imho neither statist nor socialist. I believe in markets with competition and failure, and neither trusts nor oligopolies nor monopolies nor TBTF can be allowed without compromising them

fonz, come back or sent your friend in, I'd really love to hear his answer. I'm starting to believe you just threw in the towel, you don't want that, do you?

Interesting Ghordy.  For me the sudden ability for banks to meet LTRO repayments so easily, considering the misgivings over being able to meet the targets directly prior to this, was pretty interesting.  Shortly after we saw the red faced outrage from US citizens when it transpired uncle Benny had been pumping liquidity into Euro banks based in the US.  Without looking at balance and money supply figures I think one can suspect that this was slightly more than coincidence.

The problem with the balances that you are looking at are that they are the official figures.  If you think that these are trustworthy and accurate, you have a lot more faith than I do at this stage.

Maybe the US can ask Dov for their $2T back?

medium giraffe, the original and recurring cry of the megabanks, as visible in all the articles from them that ZH publishes, was always QE. From the FED and the ECB

but QE as such is forbidden for the ECB, except in emergencies, which opens a huge can of worms because politicians don't even comprehend the word, while funnily the european national banking traditions have a much clearer, and tested idea of such things

so the Great Swap was made, in order to "fix" a problem in the dollarzone. which shouln't be an issue for the ECB, but hey, TBTF megabanks are solidly straddled in the eurozone, dollarzone and the hyperhypothecating-zone aka the City. Yes, this includes Deutsche Bank, that monstrosity managed by non-Germans from London offices

so the ECB gave LTROs, which are loans backed by collateral from the banks... and that's it. eventually, they came back. after long grumbling of "the eurozone having problems"... which were in part created by the very same derivative scams that The Squid et al created

this is not the whole story by far, including the national banking systems being stuffed with sovereign bonds, "or else", but, well...

meanwhile, the ECB is audited. hard to believe, since the EU org still has problems with audits.. but there it is. the EU budget is nearly "small fry" for the member countries, and they control the money they send to Brussels, so there is not much need to make strong audits

the members of the ECB, on the other side, are national banks. very, very cautious with each other. they insist on audits. if the EuroSystem is ever caught doing "funny business", my bet it would be a national bank doing it, not the ECB

the FED, on the other side, has been in the business of a monetization of USD 2'400'000'000'000 (aka 2.4 T), in the last years. they did buy roughly that amount of USTs, then after all the USG did spend them above budget (including on interest), and China wasn't buying them up, as they did with 2T

as I was telling fonz, when someone borrows, someone else must lend... or monetize
