Greek "Deal" Sends S&P To Record Highs, Gold Under $1200

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It appears that Grexit fears were all that was left to hold back equity enthusiasm as, based on the latest (non-official) details of a Greek deal, the S&P 500 has broken to new record highs (and Dow ripped 230 points off the lows). Gold has been jettisoned en masse, back below $1200... and crude is sliding.

 

 

S&P at record highs...

 

Dow is soaring...

 

But Small Caps don't care...

 

Gold back under 1200

I still submit it is entirely possible that Greece is trying to keep the bank runs going. More money into the hands of the people prior to exit. Then default, banks go bankrupt, and try to tax some of that wealth back from the people.

It is pretty funny that the clearinghouse, Target 2 system, has allowed the Greeks to run a 50 billion overdraft, even after ELA handouts.  It is almost as if the mob is running Greece, big increase in vendor financing and cash stripping, just before the bankruptcy

"I still submit it is entirely possible that Greece is trying to keep the bank runs going. More money into the hands of the people prior to exit. Then default, banks go bankrupt, and try to tax some of that wealth back from the people."

The Greeks are withdrawing Euros... If the vector of your premise is that the Euro strengthens after Grexit, then it is a sound speculation...

If, however, the Euro suffers followng grexit (due to the possible contagion effect in Spain, Italy, etc.) , then the current Bank runs are really for nothing but dramatic effect, unless the people withdrawing the Euros are immediately exchanging them for Norwegian Krones, or Southern California beach houses...  yes?

Calling Mr. Oswald with the swastika tattoo
There is a vacancy waiting in the English voodoo
Carving "V" for "vandal" on the guilty boy's head
When he's had enough of that, maybe you'll take him to bed
To teach him he's alive before he wishes he was dead

Turn up the TV, no one listening will suspect
Even your mother won't detect it, so your father won't know
They think that I've got no respect but
Everything is less than zero

I'll go into silver when it's $6 an ounce like it was only 10 years ago.  Even going in at $6 is still a crapshoot because the silver market is horrendously rigged, not in the stackers' favor.

If one is going to play rigged games, at least play to win.  I feel bad for all of those stackers that bought in the $40s.  That was an extreme example of greater fools.

Buying silver now is like catching a falling knife. 

"Well the fundamentals are good" claim the stacker prepper types.  Yeah, sure, the fundamentals are a rigged game where silver always loses until the physical dries up decades from now from price suppression.  It might be good for millenials or their progeny to get into silver, but if you're an Xer or Boomer, it will be past your lifetime for you to see that upward correction.

That is the thing,,,I do not think that anyone who owns the real stuff is selling anything.....it seems to me more people are buying....the real stuff..not the paper crap....that is what has to fall apart now....I bet this year it does..now with India back and their economy doing better..they will buy shitloads..so will Russia and China as they distance themselves from the west....

Someone here on ZH wrote right after Syriza was elected that his "pick" for finance minister was a Soros puppet, and to expect no change--"Same as it ever was."

I wish I could remember who, as I'd like to send him the "chicken dinner" he won.

The Greeks are not going to be pleased when they realize that the banksters not only have them bent over and taking it from behind, but that that short feeling of relief was really a bankster ball-grab reach-around.

The banksters need to repay us.

 

Fraudulent-reserve banking is grift.

Did anyone seriously think that Greece would go against the ECB and exit? I never believed that for one second, although I would have loved to have seen it.

I imagine the people of Greece are proud of how fast their "tough talking" finance minister crumbled. These mother-fuckers are all the same!

Oh well, enjoy your slavery!

In prep for a debate class my 15 year old daughter and I were discussing Obama's free community college offer.  I eventually asked her who pays for it all, and she said, "It's only $60 billion dollars, didn't you say that they can simply pull money out of their butts the other day?"  "Not money sweetheart, you can't make money up with a few strokes on a computer.  But currency?  Apparently getting easier and easier every day..."  Sigh....  Real money continues to get monkey hammered.

We are suspended in mid air. For this brief moment in mankind's history, everyone is getting to keep their cakes and eat them too. The debtors as well as the lenders are both coming out whole with an extension. What goes on during this extension period is anyone's guess. The extension may well be indefinitely when a major event takes over center stage and suspends further debt talks in 120 days.

Everyone who pays close attention and has a modicum of common sense MUST REALIZE that this cannot last forever!

Why did Germany not go with a 6 months extension. What difference does it make whether they meet in 4 months or 6 months to discuss exactly the same? Just so that Germany can feel they've accomplised at least this? Just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Macro data in Germany is getting worse too.
