US Financial Stocks Tumble Most In 2 Years, Catch Down To Credit, Red In 2014

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Despite manufactured earnings reports that apparently 'beat' US financial stocks are the worst performer today and down 9% from its highs in mid-September. Today's drop in XLF - the Financials ETF - is the biggest since Nov 2012, and is red for 2014 now. Of course, this should not be a total surprise since US financial credit spreads have been flashing a much less exuberant tone for a few weeks...

US Financials drop negative yearo-to-date, down 9% from the highs...

 

as they catch down to credit....

Markets are rigged UP and DOWN. This seems entirely planned.

I wonder how too big to fail is going to work if it all fails at once. Those margin calls are gonna hurt.

On a quite serious note, regardless as to what any particular person believes about the state/status/motives/machinations/statistics/etc. regarding Ebola, there will be rapid fire new developments in the from of "breaking news" all day today.

Just sit back and take in a massive infusion of (IMO) total, unmitigated, poorly scripted bullshit.

And, although this is a total SWAG, I would bet many Yellens that really bad news hits after 4 pm est.

Shocked I am!!!

Those of u around for the '08 madness saw the same thing so far...

Plunging oil as market waffling off all time highs.
Then a plunging market.
Metals catch their bid.

We'll see.

Look at it this way:  If the scripting is poor, the script writers suck.

They  only kept things alive long enough to get the right Ebola strain, hatched, Putin and Assad surrounded....now comes the fun. Honestly I have no clue whether Ebola is engineered, but the timing sure is interesting.

I'm up to my eyeballs in all of the above, including land. However these assholes still keep sending me bills that they want me to pay in cash with each month.

One would have to have been truly blind not to have seen this one coming. That gaping maw between stocks and high-yield was beyond belief. The rotation out of stocks has certainly begun, but "out of stocks and into what?" is the question. It certainly isn't commodities, and the bond bubble has yet to burst. Real estate is starting to catch a cold, foreign markets are tanking hard...

Cash perhaps?

seems too early to call an end. this is a shot across the bow for Yellen and friends to do something, like restart QE immediately. that the FOMC will conduct an unscheduled meeting tomorrow only confirms on Oct 30th they will announce a continuation of QE for another quarter. recall that QE is 'open ended'

I may be a gambler, but I'm thinking of BTFD around Oct 30th for the epic rally that will follow.

it will be interesting to see just how far they will go with the next round of QE. if 1.4 trillion is the total for this round, they might just have to go up to 2 trillion on the next. do they have the balls to go that far? i don't think so, too many consequences will have to be paid. but they've surprised me with their recklessness this far, so it wouldn't be unprecedented.

Dont worry folks!  The Fed will beat this mule back into green by the end of the day.  The NY Fed and Chicago Fed will pump this bitch up.  It will look bad if they keep letting the market fall.

The central bank cant let the dow slip under 16,000 for any long period of time now, it would be in bad taste.

no one trusts the markets

no one trusts the financial institutions anymore

This bubble popping would destroy what little faith is left in the system completely.

 

By 2016 Dow 5000 S&P 500 will actually be "500", just because. . .
