Do you believe in miracles?

That's one hell of a "whatever it takes" gap to fill.

Looks like the jaws of an animal.
a crock maybe...
new European regulations requiring all crocks to be vegan. No danger for investors. Buy all dips.
This will end well.
Computer game in chart form. Scary question, in light of the obvious facade the "markets" have become, is can stocks ever go down? It's all rigged anyway, so what makes us all believe that stocks can go down?
ZH again proving they don't know anything. Long term bond yields have declined substantially in the last 2 years. This is why stocks can rise despite flat earnings.
.gov owns the bond market and, along with other central banks, are working in concert to hide inflation and the massive printing going on just to exist. Forget growth or earnings.... we're talking about unprecedented monetary actions just to remain solvent.
In that regard, and when you own the bond market, yields don't mean anything.
Let me chime in here, just to take a closer look at especially "the massive printing": Most of us know that there ain't much real printing. Hey, even if we would use a printer that could reach 350 square feet per second, it still would take years to really print such amounts of money. As we mostly know, also, that's not the way "money" is created, anyways. It takes someone to ask for credit to create money, nowadays. And who or what in the world should that be, if not todays rigged market, like nope-1004 describes it?! What for should anyone else ask for sooo much credit? ;)
All it takes is a bank asking another bank...
At least that way it will come out in the economy through hookers and blow when their employees get their bonuses.
Thank god the bankstercalculators didnt miss out on that GDP boost!
It looks to me as though the Fed and the other CBs are trying to find the inflation; the problem is that the deflation is so pervasive in everything except stocks they simply cannot make it happen.
The only reason bonds are remaining at such low rates is that the Fed is buying them (in the name of, maybe, Belgium?). Otherwise, who would want to hold instruments that have little yield in an environment that is screaming, "Inflate, damnit, inflate!!!"?

I have some ocean-front property in Oklahoma. Please msg me
They can rise without earnings...or with huge losses....(fill in your reason here)
You know it....I know it. Could you tell me when?
I'll take a slot in the pool.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.
It is good that it will end.
And it will.
And, it will not end well.

Nope.
It's the Star Trek Doomsday Machine:

Awesome!
No clearly a Yellen, with a minor in Mooch.
A croc-a-gator...
The meanest reptile on the planet.
What makes him so mean you ask?
With a croc head on one end and gator head on the other, he's so impacted that there is no relief.
You'd be mean too...
When will the recipients of the Central Bankers shenanigans turn into croc-a-gators and retaliate?
DaddyO
red line will turn up soon
yep, these are estimates... another graph to be fixed.
Whack-a-Graph
Yes, when the ECB starts pumping 60 billion EUR/month into the economy.
Ya know when that shark bites, with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's nevah, nevah a trace of red.
About to bite someone on the ass.
NOT TO WORRY! Draghi will do whatever it takes..... etc.
I'm curious as to what the amount of money that the difference amounts to. Like, closing those jaws means XXX trillions.
No amount of fiat will save the house of cards.
The only miracle I believe in is the day our alien God comes to Earth and elimates all the scumbag "leaders" of this world.
Other than that..the answer to your question is, NO !
No biggie. Earnings will catch up when QE starts in March.
Free gyros for everyone!
come to the back door get your 0 int loans, and report earnings ..simple really ..large corps are being given funds from c banks for buy backs and stuffing the earnings along with outright buying of equity ..or not, who knows but this qe went someware beside mega yachts and NYC apartments..
you mean if I'm a blue chip corp I can borrow at .38 and use the funds to buy back my stock with a dividend yield 2.38 and I pretty much capture that 2% vig for free? My next question is how much of my own stock can I buy back over time.. all of it ? Is the fed privatizing America with money out of thin air? At some point it MUST blow up no? This means you either begin today to find alternative means to save your hard earned labor or ride their coat tails and blow up with them... when ever that day comes.
Silver is getting flowers this valinetines day.
Welcome to the new normal. Earnings don't matter anymore...until they do!
Talk about creepy, this belongs on a horror flick cover.
Wall Street Through the Looking Glass haha
lol -- banzai, that's my all-time favorite of your stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like a lack of trust in the currency to me.
Skittle pooping unicorns do exist. Financial fantasyland is real. Brought to you by the central banks.
Wait until the US Federal Reserve announces the much larger QE. QE on sterroids.
Just print until your currency dies.
Then it's off to SDRs.
"Then it's off to SDRs."
and the CB's off to the gallows...
It seems central bankers created this correlation, then the quants' computers artificial(ly) intelligent models pick it up in their calcs and trade on it, and we get markets that are essentially like a circular reference in Excel -- keeps getting larger, but you don't know why.
I think we know why....

To understand this chart you really have to understand capital flows, and where capital is parked. Is it going to end in tears? Of course it will, eventually, but right now (over)valuations are set to go higher before they go lower.
The scary part is what happens when all of the financial capital starts to transition into the real economy.
Capital? What capital?
If I remember correctly isn't capital earnings from work etc, not spent,,, like savings?
So with ZIRP where's the Capital?
Unless your referring to that fake capital the Central Banks push which is really counterfeit and dilutes and destroys the real capital in the same manner as it does the currency.
Sorry, but this new Common Core Economics puzzles me....
IMO the new definition of Capital should be "Central Bank Loot" stolen from the people when the currency goes to zero.
"all of the financial capital starts to transition into the real economy"
Please tell me 'how' this will happen. What will drive this capital into the system when the 'system' is contracting...What, in the 'real' economy will drive this capital demand?
IMO the only way to lay a foundation for that to happen would be for 'most' debt to be 'poof/gone'. Otherwise the debt overhang is way too large to permit what you suggest/imply.
I'm listening. Lets hear it.
DAX at all time highs, what's not to love!
Please add total margin debt to chart
I'm sure the Zimbabwe chart looked just like this one before the SHTF.
That's what happens when the D in DCF is >1. You thank NIRP for that.
This moment of insanity will be the basis for generations of future thesis papers.
Pay no atention to that chart it's totaly meaningless. We will just make it better with a stroke of the keyboard.
If you are invested in equities this chart looks frightful under the old rule book. The rules have changed so this could be a great chart. No one really knows but the rule makers.
Silly Rabbit, charts are for kids. Bad news, stocks go up. Good news, stocks go up. Why bother with analysis. Stocks will continue to climb until they don't. All rationale is useless.
HAVE NO FEAR! THE FED IS HERE!
What the index shows is not over-valuation or price inflation, it's VALUE ADDED! It's part of the New Economic Mindset. It's all a matter of putting the right label on it.
Now all repeat after me: "It's All Good".
