Tyler Durden's picture




 

What more is there to say really... over 1000 points off the Yellen lows in less than 5 days. Dow 18,000 - can't you just feel the wealth being created? Golf clap...

 

The biggest percentage gain in the Dow since Dec 1st 2011...

 

Futures up close and personal...

 

Who are the big winners off the 12/16 closing low?

 

The last this happened...

 

Oh and ignore this...

That's what you get for calling out Hindenburg Omens on ZH.

Shoulda just keep the mouth shut and watch the whole thing implode and go up in flames.

Any correlation between Hindenburg Omens on ZH and The Creature From The Eccles Lagoon stepping in to save the market?

Correlation coefficient: 1.000

they're not even trying to hide it anymore.

they probably even read ZH for signals about when it's on the verge of getting out of hand.

The only show in town now is the Fed and its manipulations.  Its just a matter of how long they can manipulate with their magic wands and digital computers and propaganda media; stack on stack HIGH!

they are more akin to mafiosos than capitalists, but your 'mock the left' comment just makes you look foolish. you really think the left's whispering of sweet nothings in your ear while they pound you from behind isn't led by an agenda? they know it's a long con, tell you what you need to hear.

don't listen to what they say, follow the trail of money that put them where they are.

Yes, just in time for Christmas to have one last consumerist debt orgy.  What pisses me off the most is the radio and tv just have a short blurb - the Dow was up 400 points today.  That's it!  Where was the explanation that the Dow was up 400 points because the Swiss went to negative interest rates?  I bet that would have induced at least some small amount of cognitive dissonance.

if i could print money, turn around and buy futures, I would too.

Venezuela, Argentina, USA, what did these American countries have in common the last few years?

they can prop up their stock markets all they want, they can't hide the reality that their economies are rotting carcases being picked at by vultures.

Sustainability, the Dow haz it.

 

The beauty of it all is how the Dow makup always changes, yet the number is never reset.  Also the most fun one can have when it comes to the magical Dow number is to ask any average person that brings it up what is the definition of the number they're quoting.

1. 2001 got in market at the worst time

2. 2007 bought house right before the market crashed (although there were benefits in that timing)

3. 2011 decide I'm not getting burned again. Real money. Gold and Silver. 

 

How can you always be wrong. Reminds me in a previous life when I bet on sports. When I called in my bets , always a loser. When I decided to be on the other side of the phone, I magically became a Big Winner. 

 

Guess it's time to start working at The Fed.

The F_D (like God, they won't want to write out its name) wins!  Reality is canceled and a vampire squid runs the universe! It can't be scraped off, the siphons are permanent and locked in place.

The FED isn't all that and a bag o chips.  They are the bagholders for a hundred bank's debt, hell, they are deeper in debt than my raggedy ass.

A single black swan (among many circling up there) could be their undoing, and it could happen an hour from now.

I'm not ready to hand them the victory baton just yet. They're conjuring digits and buying their own crap, like Peggy Bundy 'selling' Avon.

Silver, bitchez.  It's real, it's critical to modern life and they can't print it.

You don't understand that a rising stock market does not necessarily mean the economy is healthy.

I'll stick with my PM's for the time being buying at all time highs on a crappy economy I'll leave to the insiders.

The only 18k in my 'portfolio' is yellow and shiny. And the good thing is that it will remain 18k, and in my possession, regardless of what the stock market does.

Yaaaawn.

I don't even pay attention to the point value of the DOW or the S&P anymore. It's completely made up BS.

To people on Main St., who have no dog in this race, it's totally inconsequential. I was talking to my plumber yesterday. He runs his own business, and spends time with his family. I asked him how he's doing for retirement, if he has money in the market, etc. Kind of an older guy. He said he's never had money in the stock market, it was a ponzi scheme to him. He's got his house paid off, his kids are going to take over the business, and he's just going to garden when he retires. Said he doesn't really need money for that at all. He's got some savings in the local credit union. That's his retirement nest egg. His property taxes are low, so the only thing he needs to live on is a few hundred bucks a month, if that.

Fuck the market. Real people don't need it.
