Almost 3 pm. Time for CNBC to jack up the market with some bullshit.

Looks like they got the most mileage out of Bulltard. Baby bumps out of Yeller and the rest.

Since AAPL is about all that's working in the SPX, your selections are redundant

When it comes right down to it, it doesn't matter what is causing the "markets" to rise.  They have been doing so for six years now with no end in site.  I expect the S&P to set a new closing high today and then rally hard on Friday and Monday.

Oh yes.. a rally.. Like in the good old days where shit wasn't rigged..

The only way to win is to not play the game

Four bankers were sent to prison today in the Icelandic Supreme Court for market manipulation.

http://icelandreview.com/news/2015/02/12/icelandic-bankers-sentenced-prison

"Hreiðar Már Sigurðsson, former CEO of the bank, got the longest sentence at five and a half years, unchanged from the Reykjavík District Court’s ruling. Sigurður Einarsson, former chairman of the board, had his sentence reduced from five years to four while investor, and one of the bank’s biggest shareholders, Ólafur Ólafsson, had his sentence lengthened from 3.5 years to 4.5 years and Magnús Guðmundsson, director of Kaupþing Luxembourg, got 4.5 years instead of 3 years."

None of the sentences are suspended.

Iceland is an awesome place.  The scenery is magnificent, the people are amazing and they are very, very aware of the bullshit game being played on the world by the bankers.  I didn't meet one local this summer who didn't know what was up.  The foreigners on the other hand (Brits and Americans especially) were drowning in Kool-Aid.

There are lots of other cases making their way trough the courts, so there is a good reason to expect more bankers being sent to prison and more years to be added to those who have already been sentenced.

Fortunately there is a new prison being built, but if we run out of space there is a place where they would receive a warm welcome.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAnuMD9TYl4

I'm a complete neophyte at this, but I've been observing for years.  After the CNBC rhetoric yesterday before the Greek nondecision I was absolutely sure the S&P500 would respond - I just didn't expect it to be 10 points up in 10 minutes of trading.  Then the jobs numbers and retail sales numbers disappointed and the market marched up.

If there are "fundamentals" I'd really like to see how they're supposed to work, because as long as I've been watching it all looks like witchcraft to me.

This is a completely useless market just for useless idiots anymore.

Complete waste of time for those who have more important things to do than just to get ass fucked by insane clueless brain sick CBers and bought and corrupt politicos enslaved by their banker bosses.

It's a shame if you still waste time here with these parasites.

Nice to see the S&P subdued today being up only .9% instead of the usual 1.5%. I could only imagine what today would have been like without Amex getting the shaft and the Greece problem not weighing it down.
