The Secular Extinction Of Stock Market Bears

Tyler Durden's picture




 

This week's Investors' Intelligence survey responses highlight the unprecedented reluctance of financial advisors to turn bearish...

 

 

As the secular extinction of stock market bears continues...

 

But - as we hear day after day on financial media - there is still a lot of negativity out there (apparently)?

All the bears are broke. So who is selling - for every trade there has to be a seller and a buyer.

It's just AI algos trading amongst themselves to give the impression of a market.  A few CEOs on the offer with stock options, and the CFOs on the bid with junk debt financed buybacks.  When real sellers show up, there will be no bids.  AI is sadisticallly interacting with humans and it is generating insanity.  Anyone not feeling f*cked with yet?

Unlimited and unaccounted fiat can provide a floor for ANY amount of selling and fuel for endless market gains

ummm the bears would broke in about 2010, as we have been rallying hardcore since then. 

But I listen to these guys in OZ. they are very good with their market calls / predictions => http://bit.ly/1fMcakI

Basically they are saying if you think 2014 was bad for bears....wait till 2015. ...... well worth listening too. 

Bears beware! I guess. Who knows. I just think yellen saved this market today.

Let´s hope there´s at least a handful or even only one perma-bear left. BTFD will continue as long as there still are bears around. When the last one has thrown in the towel we have reached phase III - danger territory.

You go Bear slowly at first, then all at once...

You would be stupid to be bearish. The FED has just spent the last 6 years slowly printing money and giving it to the boyz. The boyz now have enough dry powder and firepower to nuke anything bearish from beyond the orbit of Mars. We need a black swan event to cause something to break in the great machine the FED has built, until then. Be bullish (if you dare), or goto cash, or buy gold.

I have a tendacy to agree with you--but then I ask myself if you cannot be bearish at this moment in time when can you be

SDS... ummmmmmmmmmm super ummmmmmmm

UvXY... ouch my ass ouch my ass fuck my ass fu k my ass hurts(me years ago)

I know it does not make any sense but i think ..

if you dare to be in the market ,,deep in the money covered calls..
Or play with a fucked up bernankeproduct like SVXY or the opposite UVXY,(my ass) but good luck with that . Miners? Biotechs? good luck with those.
I am way deep in Mnkd(daibetes drug) , as i try big try to abandon my bank addiction.

king shit dolar is a way to be short.. good luck
Gold is a way to be short(i know contradicts with the previous). My favorite is cardboard gold like Sprott or cef.good luck here .
Buy property in cash not where you live.
A big dog is a good short :) i get them for free off the streets. Can't ever go wrong there.

whiskey at home so you can get plastered whenever needed.

Darkest before the dawn. The brightest bulb before it burns out. That's what I keep telling myself to keep from doing something stupid(er). The great thing about bubbles is you either look like an idiot before the pop or after.

Secular vs. Cyclical ?

Nah, it's more Secular v. Sacred

With the religious fervor (and associated sacraments, such as POMO) on the side of the permabulls, as anti-Nietzschean a collection of folks ever known (Will to Power-less?, all control ceded to central banks), except for a fondness for the Eternal Recurrence of stimulus-driven, market ramps such that, as in Pavlov's Dog, now the mere suggestion of sugar causes the beast to salivate to new highs, saving rawhide fees.

is it being a bear to just get the fuck out? Leave the bulls to drown in their own shit.

A programmed market can only go on so long. Deflation is raising its head and that's not good. Always been taught to buy low sell high. Oil is telling you were the global demand is at now. Amazing to me that after six Years our economy has not expanded yet. When everyone is bullish and this is the only way to. Make money a red flag goes up for me.Good trading all!

Only an idiot would be short a market in which anyone who has any material influence on the market (governments and central banks) has not only a vested interest in keeping the market going up cause they own most of the stuff but they have the tools to make it so forvever and they have even stated multiple times they will do just that under the guise of helping the little guy.

Seriously, we all know if it collapses that is the end of it all due to derivatives, bad debt, pensions, etc etc. they will not let it happen and if it does the paper money you may gain from being short will do you no good anyway.

There are two choices in our present situation be long or be wrong.

The government has always had an interest in keeping the markets up. It doesn't even need to crash, 20% correction wouldn't be the end of the world. Why not allow that?

Due to the demographic shift in the US and the growing number of seniors moving into the drawing down pensions mode, it's been tough for Wall Street to find large numbers of suckers to sell to.  The market may be going up, but long-term breadth is telling a different story.  Not that breadth always tells the truth, but many times it does.  Until it resolves, enjoy the thrash.
