Tyler Durden's picture




 

Having tested the almighty 10,000 level, Germany's DAX is plunging back to pre-FOMC earth levels following the weak CPI print this morning...

Just enough to get me in trouble.

 

Seriously though....this shouldn't affect the US markets....right?

What is the strike price for a call on reality?

Reality left the building years ago.  I think it's hanging out in the parking lot somewhere with a bottle of cheap booze in a brown paper bag.

Reality for now appears to be 4000 DAX, but the monthly is showing a parallel universe down around 3000:

Plunge!

That's like what the water did in my kitchen sink yesterday after I plunged the drain.  Unfortunatly, it didn't flow down the drain.  A coupling slipped off the drain pipe and it all just dumped out into the cabinet below.  I closed the cabinet door, walked away and declared it "fixed".

Can I have a job at the Feral Reserve now?

You'll fit in nicely, they'll probably give you the desk next to mine. The guy who sat there visited the wrong websites a bit too often. I told him time and again: porn is no problem, but ZH is definitely off limits during working hours. But would he listen?

Oh, and another thing: Feral reserve? They don't take kindly to those jokes over here, you know. Better get your act together before you move in. Pay is good, though, but don't forget to leave your conscience at the reception desk each morning.

If you can get me in, I'll call it whatever you want me to.  Should I refer to Janet as "The Great and Powerful Oz" or did that nickname only work for Ben Bernanke?

You will damn well start the way I started over here: by kissing the ass of the guy sitting at the desk next to yours. And it'll take at least one QE before you're even allowed to mention the name of the Anointed One.

Russia should suspend payments on their foreign debt. Once German banks start creaking some Lehman Bros. moments shouldn´t be far off in neighbouring countries.

They won't do it.

I don't know if you've noticed, but Putin hasn't done squat in response to the sanctions against Russia.

The only thing he did was to implement a one year ban on food products from the E.U.

Oh and don't get your hopes up on the Grexit. Syriza have said they don't want to leave the euro.

Syriza is the latest scheme from the PTB to manipulate the steeple into thinking they have an alternative; hence the massive pulpit Syriza has been given in the media.

A truly rebellious party would be blacklisted.

makes me wonder if it's all just a game played by the Rothchilds. The number of countries not controlled by a Rothchild central bank can be counted on one hand and Russia is not one of them.

Shouldn't that low CPI print be bullish? even more not yet priced in QE (talk)?

Or did "bad news" become bad news all of the sudden?

Also letting the ruble tank further, use their dollar reserves to buy up foreign holdings,  and then start demanding payment in rubles for energy exports to Europe would be a good move for the Russians.

All indices erasing that ridiculous one day gain of Dec 18 and filling the resultant chart gaps

 

DAX gap is 9589.2, so almost there now

Weidmann just got his ass handed to him....so this means QE is in the cards, a little foresight would suggest Euro stocks should be going up to preposition for that eventuality...or in this case inevitability with these cpi numbers

In all seriousness, I had a dream last night...  My dad bought a bird with rainbow colored frizzy hair (sort of like a clown wig) that had the knowledge+skills to make various mixed drinks (booze).  It was a doomsday sort of thing that intelligent prepper-type folks were talking about on Zerohedge was a wise investment to have in case of a global collapse.  LOL

Long booze.

Long birds.

Dare to dream.

Check out the 1 and 5 year charts for the DAX & FTSE.

FTSE

DAX

DAX plateau'd a year ago and the FTSE is already on it's way back down.

Checkout the difference between them since October - DAX gained  almost 1000 points over the FTSE in just 8 weeks !!!
Bubble territory ?

People forget that the DAX includes all (pre- tax) dividends. .

Very good, I was just about to point out that DAX is including didvidends (that's why it's called "performance index"), then I saw that you already did. And rightly so!

Yes, there is no argument here, but it isn't really relevant and does not justify the near 1000 point gain in eight weeks or so...

Similarly, if / when this market does plunge (hoping) we'll see just how fast those performance points are shed.... Back in 2008, the DAX was falling between 300 and 500 points a day
