Investors Are "Panic Buying" US Bonds & Stocks
Since the miserable US retail sales data hit, it appears the world's investors have decided that buying US stocks and US bonds is the thing to do...
For context, the S&P and Dow remain below the post-CNBC "Europe is fixed" deal rumor highs last night...

Repeat after me: "There is no such thing as bad news. There is only good news and better news"
This morning, in the first 40 minutes of "trading", AAPL market cap rose by 14 billion USD.
In fact, on the "other side of the balance sheet" of AAPL owners, 14 billion USD were created today out of thin air.
I am having a hard time, wrapping my head around that...
Only one word: ENDGAME!
The correct term is """investors""" ... note the correct use of triple quotation marks to help orient the reader to who and waht is actually doing the buying and selling...it ain't human participants with ordinary profit and loss motivations.
The correct term was actually SELL :)
where's volker? asset inflation is inflation.
Just wait until they figure out the real value of all that paper. "TURN THOSE MACHINES BACK ON!"
"I am having a hard time, wrapping my head around that..."
It helped me to starting thinking of things as "pricing" valuations, and not actual dollars. It's only $14B in "pricing" terms; if those APPL owners all happily try to access their money by selling at the same time, it will prove to be worth well less than $14B....
As with most paper things, "Pricing" wealth is not really as tangible as real wealth.
Never fear obumer is here mor 00000000 behind a number will do just fine for any crooked corrupt cocksucker. For us honest hard working peasants we will stand in line and beg for thier crumbs and call them master. Well you know what there will soon be anarcy and fuck them oops fbi or nsa in 3.2.1
Repeat after me: "The Trend is my Friend"
I am trying to be resolute with my PM buying at these levels. This forward trajectory of the stock market looks tasty, but I'm not buying it.
Some "folks" will get slaughted.
Minitrue prolefeed reports: doubleplusgood...
thoughtcrime leads to joycamp, so crimestop now...
Hey, they're the new 'safe haven', right?
It's OK, we're used to it by now.
The "market", and I use that term loosely, is an unstoppable juggernaut!!!
Doing the old reverse psychology jinx on it won't work. I tried.
<--- VIX will form tripple bottom
<--- VIX will crash right through it
Rats scurrying to and fro as the ship heaves and rolls as it bears down on the iceberg dead ahead. 9 o'clock and all is well...
Investors??? Really????
READ: The Fed, The PDs, and their Algos.
"For context, the S&P and Dow remain below the post-CNBC "Europe is fixed" deal rumor highs last night..."
Not for much longer. They will take out that high soon
Everything is awesome! And, if it happens to not be awesome, then that can only mean it's MOAR awesome!
Peeps and sheeps need to learn that it is better and wiser to win and lose with the herd, than to lose by yourself when others are winning.
This is based on a timeless adage of human nature:
1. Happiness likes Happy company
2. Misery likes Miserable company.
Libertarians haven't figured this out yet, or they refuse to accept it on some ideological grounds that they have internalized.
Central banks buying stocks can make even this dead s bounce.
Even greater fools than we hoped for.
When the Titanic listed to port, and the crowd on deck rushed to starboard, do you think the people initially standing on the starboard side were full of self congratulation for having gotten the call right?
Probably..."Dodged a bullet there...now where did that waiter go off to?
i know for me the worse a company looks, the more money they loose and the more lies they tell, always makes me want to invest.
I suspect the pending Grexit when it is announced will throw some ice cold water on this rally.
If your theory is correct.
Where will the 100's of trillions currently invested go?
The market and bonds have become the last repository.
Unless of course, its all a CB induced illusion.
:)))
I think you meant, suppository?
that's not how it works. we're back to 2011's alternating headlines of "EU/Greece is blowing up" vs "EU/Greece is saved!". on the former, stocks are flat. on the latter, we get nosebleed rips that form a new ratchet plateau. when Greece and the EU finally do blow up, we'll be at 2300 and have a "crash" to 2100.
" investors " ha ha ha ha ha Tyler said a funny.
We're gonna need a bigger rumor.
.
Long is beautiful. This is all the advice of the investment variety you would have needed in March of 2009 until a millisecond ago.
FINALLY they are heeding my advice. *tear btfd
"Investors"..... Lol, that's wha we're calling them these days.
Ponzi participants..
Electrons.
Abenomics mainstream. Just buy moar stocks.
Jobs and retail become meaningless. Stats can be cooked.
Abenomics is really Bernankenomics. Just keep printing and pumping up stocks.
Average PEs might hit 100. Have to beat the DOT COM bubble.
Bad news = buying signal. Has been for what, 6 fuckin years?
Yes. And continues for the foreseeable future.
no rate hikes until 2016, and more QE likely. Just BTFD!
There have been no Selling signals for 7 years.......the lucky number for craps.
"There have been no Selling signals for 7 years
Seven years is the lucky number alright. Have you ever heard of the shimeta?
No, but I'm Giggling it now......
Ah-0HAH!!!
The GREEK SOLUTION!!!! You damned knuckleheads in the EU!!!
“At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release. And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release what he has lent to his neighbour. He shall not exact it of his neighbour, his brother, because the LORD’S RELEASE has been proclaimed….” Deuteronomy 15:1-4 Reading this Scripture further promises… many blessings!
Funny, they never mention that one when they claim the Bible says you should always pay your debts back, every nickel.
Life was much much simpler in those antediluvian days. They never had to contend with absurdities like, "Gay Marriage", Brucie Jenner, the entire Audience that legitimates the Kardashians, the Real Whoreswives of wherever, Bri Wi, Jon Stewart, John Oliver, the IRS, NSA, CIA, OSS, Jimmie Fallon, Carrottop, Charlie Rangel, the "Great" Society, and BTFD.
It is the complexity of modern living that makes it so frustrating to most of us with limited capacity in the Wernicke/Broca areas of our increasingly bedrugged brains.
(Actually a further reading of Shimat yields this little morsel: it only applies debt forgiveness to domestic debt. Foreign Debtors were still on the hook for the principal enough interest to compensate for the forgiven debts). The Jews know a lot, a whole lot about money, and I am regretting that my mom wasn't a Jewess.
onwards and upwards...
I know what a shmatta is. Also a shemozzle.
Tesla is actually down today.
I didn´t know that a company listed on the Nasdaq could go down.
Some algos must be on holiday.
It looks like Gartman just added another wing on his 3 top dome...
They got what they wanted with the nudge above 2073. Buys them some more time for now by jawboning away from yet another legit short setup. let's see what happens at 2085 and 2091-93.
Technicals are just round numbers now.
Move along...
MOAR stock buybacks??
"investors" are also saying "10 on the YO, 10 on the Hard 8".... That's what this article means by investors, if I follow...
Why knock Treasuries? When shit goes down there'll be a flight to "safety"
Bether than All Cash or All PM these days.
Between NIRP and regular PM beatings (not to mention fees on PM buy/sell), Treasuries are as good as anything for Nervous Nellies.
Get some, and add 'em to your stash of Stocks, PM and Cash. Cause you never know what you will need when, or what performs best in the future.
IMO these people buying US stocks & bonds are not 'investors', but speculators. Also, they are not very wise IMO. The day of rekoning is not too far off. Hopefully, everyone will get what they 'deserve'....
Treasuries will go to the moon when stocks crash, where else (other than gold) is the money going to go? It'll take days to monetise the lot and really fuck things up.
There are no "people"
It's all algos now
You have to be BuyingTFD. You don't worry, You don't think about it, You just BTFD. BTFD. Markets are graphs of central bank software and the bankers are there to help you make money. So BTFD.
Yesterday, Greece was fixed...then it wasn't
Today, Ukraine was fixed...then it wasn't
Tomorrow, O'bama wakes up to find 18 trillion under his pillow
Why does all remind me of the ending of Trading Places, with Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy in the role of the Fed?
AH yes, 'the investor'....those mythical people with so much money they don't know what to do other than BTFATH'S with it, yea.
So all possibilities of productive investment have been eliminated .
Banks with negative interest , Bonds with ridicolously low returns ,
Shares going up and down like a yo-yo but the only game in town then becomes punting on the stock exchange hoping for a lucky shot !
A fall in the values of shares will wipe out all remaining desperate punters
There is so much moral hazard in a third-party managing your money. I've never panic bought anything.
I once got panicked in 2009 into buying a short Triple Inverse fund, and have lived to regret it till my dying day, acutally all my living days too, and I don't think god wants me until I have suffered the ignominy of this defeat for many decades. She's a great candidate for ISIS recruitment.
Where's the daily update on the price of oil handle? It is at $50+. I guess it's only a handle when it's under $50, that makes a much better doomngloom narrative.
FED to tighten, NOT, get ready for QE4 in a US shock and awe effort from Gram Yellen.
30yr. ?... BTFD
most likely "capital rotation" from the Eurozone to the US
this financial world of ours is a really small pond...
