They Are BTFATH, Are You?

Because when Elmo sees the economic fundamentals taking the Dow to at least 36,000, how can you possibly stay out of the market?

Is this a fuckin joke?

When Wall Street and Sesame Street collides. CNBS

I guess taking stock advice from Elmo or the Cookie Monster is probably better than clowns like Gartman and Cramer.

To me it can only be a refreshing change from the usual shit show (not that I watch on the east shores of the Atlantic). At least the Muppets do not purport to be anything else than a comedy entertainment and they certainly do not take themselves too seriously.

 In addition to manipulation by the government-financial complex other forces are converging to further distort and disconnect Wall Street from the American economy. Why American equities continue to rise is very important, more is at force here than the usual causes which might include a pre-election and post-election rally. This is more than the continuation of a double down and let it ride mentality that has been ratcheting the market higher while reenforced by media hype.

Most analysts agree that money from countries with weakening currencies is flowing out of the troubled areas and the U.S. is receiving most of the benefit. The Japanese as well as many Chinese and Europeans know with so much money floating around and few safe harbors America is becoming the most comfortable option for temporary investing their money. More on why this should be viewed as a sign of instability rather than a reason to celebrate in the article below.

The Federal Reserve will not let the economy go down. They'll print at all costs destroy the currency if need be. The Fed is the only one keeping the economy afloat.

Next step is QE4. It's inevitable.

Look at Japan and you see the future of the US.

Japan is at QE9.

And much to the chagrin of ZH, the DOW likely will hit 36k in the next couple of years.  Shit is going to detonate in flight - only the debris is going to crash back to the earth (ergo: no survivors).  Just a massive public default (bonds) followed by a private "up yours" (equities) which is the moment where everyone finds out that physical possesion is all that matters.

So, until then - drive it like you stole it bitchez.  Blow off fucking top into the event horizon.

It's looking likely that we'll see gold and silver shorts get squeezed over the next couple weeks.  There should be a low risk long side trade on a breakout thru $1180, but this will be a bull trap.  The real trade will be on the short side.  I'm thinking $1220-ish might be the spot.  We'll see if this develops.  The target would be $1040.  

I'm waiting for an equity pullback before doing anything more than a day trade.  We're bound to get a 20-40 point ES snap at some point.  But if Elmo is juicing the highs, maybe I'm waiting in vain.  

I'm also looking to reload on the Euro short in the 1.2650 area.  The alternative to this is to short the breakdowns in the Euro, gold, and silver under their recent lows.  They are all going much lower.  I'm not interested in the middle.

i can see why you say 1220.   this is the death match, right now.  BOJ has some doubters, sp500 earnings are about to get massively stymied due to strong dollar.    they are looking to defeat gold now.   1000 is a good target, imo to begin accumulating even if we go 10% lower to 900.   outside chance of seeing 600/700 though.

 

i mean, its really 'on' this time.   13% gain in spx in less than 4 weeks....can you say blowoff?  they have to get it to stick so the muppets will shop, and hope they spend enough.  there are so few participants, it wont take but a few end of year sellers who say  ive got mine   gimme some bonds at 4% for life.

mkt is so devious it will take more than 10% decline to indicate a 'sell signal' all will agree upon.  who'll give me odds on trading between here and 10/15 lows for the next 3 months?

How appropriate. Red and blue puppets to help promote the new heights in the false financial reality. Maybe if they try hard enough the market will become limitless

And speaking of red and blue puppets let's not forget the pillars of your community the Republican and Democrats

And using the wicked witch of the east Legarde math 45 & 36000 both add up to 9

You can figure out the rest
