How Long Will Markets Ignore This Trend This Time?

Did initial jobless claims just flash the biggest 2007 deja-vu warning yet?

Then...

Now...

It's different this time of course since fewer jobs must mean moar buybacks... which is entirely sustainable.

Show it all on one chart please (2004-2015) and show me a correlation study.

[Thirst Mutilator]

The... LOL 'Markets'... will ignore it as long as it takes for the money counterfeitters to PRINT themselves up enough cash & leverage to 'skim' a profit on the otherwise downside & cash out...

Any other STUPID questions?

Miffed ~ Is any of this crap getting you turned on in any way?

[Money Boo Boo]

.....pretty much forever or until it swirls into a giant ball of shit juice

[Thirst Mutilator]

Notwithstanding my predisposition to JUNK YOUR ASS AT ALL COSTS...

& notwithstanding my pledge to refrain from upvoting or downvoting comments...

I give you a +1

[prudent1nvestor]

FOOL! this is zerohedge. thou shalt not have a balanced article. (as much as I love zh)

[Zero Point]

Balanced article? I just searched the entire internet, and such a beast does not exist.

That's the whole point of articles I'm afraid.

[ComplexCat]

I hope you are not implying that Tyler is smart enough to do a correlation study.

Q: How Long Will Markets Ignore This Trend This Time?

A: For as long as they want

[Squid-puppets a...]

because as soon as anyone starts selling, the system declares 'SELF HELP' and all trading ceases, to reopen with a magical bullish bid

[Gambit]

Lol like today... but the end is near

[FieldingMellish]

Is it? How can it not continue for many more years?

[Winston Churchill]

Because the Fedres cannot stop a stampede, just fiddle around the edges in a

low volume market. If you haven't seen humans stampede, its about the scariest thing you

will ever see. What will spook the herd ?

Who knows, but something will.

[new game]

spook the herd - lol. fucking ugly lollipop, i do say.

[Gambit]

 Because the point of creating, then busting bubbles is to acquire real assets at fire-sale prices.  Once they have substantially inflated the financial assets they will let them all go to shit, which will no doubt drag down the prices of real assets with.   So there is no point in dragging this for more years, unless they do not have a black swan ready yet to blame the chaos on.

How long dont make be laugh just BTFD and move on records come tomorrow after bad employment numbers . Why you ask they digitise moar and moar

[FieldingMellish]

Jobless claims will catch up to the market this time. Its just a number on a spreadsheet and can be changed to anything.

[gmak]

Or the next time. Or... the time after that. Or .......

It's deja-vu all over again.

[flacon]

All they have to do is change the definition, like they did with Gross Domestic 'Production' (I mean Government SPENDING). 

[Dr. Engali]

"Markets".... Lol... They are as phony as any number coming out of the BLS. Emphases on the BS.

[Thirst Mutilator]

Tell 'em Doc!! Oh wait you/we already did that today...

[I Write Code]

Markets, sure, I remember markets, but that was before The Yellen.

Who I think is having a little trouble keeping the car between the lines, btw.  Her spreadsheet seems to be having instability oscillations mistaking printing for growth.  Lord knows how many trillions have flooded in fleeing NIRP, wasn't in her plans.  Charts are all looking wack.  Hold on to your wigs and keys, as they said back in market days.

[BullyBearish]

This is not a market, it is an economic policy tool and an asset transfer mechanism.

[WhyWait]

Help me with this:

Why would a financial collapse or recession be preceeded by declining initial claims?

I'm watching the job market starting to deteriorate, but always thought this was a good sign.

[socalbeach]

The Initial Claims axis is inverted.

[JoWazzoo]

Should be clarified for those whose eyesight sucks.  Took me a second look.  heh

[pragmatic hobo]

looks like we still got couple more years ...

Hi All - this is one of my two favorite trend indicators (the other is Margin Debt). Hedgeye has a much prettier graph - that pretty clearly shows that the cycle ain't dead, just sleeping:

And for the definitive set of employment charts see DShort. The charts NAIL the END of recession - but the start of a recession (based on unemployment trends) is pretty squishy:

Good luck out there...

The buybacks will stop (at the latest) when all the insiders have unloaded their portion of shares into the FATHs.
