Just One Chart

Tyler Durden's picture




 

If you ever doubted that bad news is good news... have faith!

 

Don't think, Buy!

 

As we noted previously, Jim Bullard broke the narrative...

Bullard's comments changed all that. Having been conditioned to 'know' that money-printing means rising stocks (over the past few years), his comments provided support for the view that if things get worse economically, then The Fed will be back with moar money-printing and stocks will rise.

 

In other words, the fact that equity valuations and fundamentals are entirely decoupled is not irrational exuberance, it's a rational conditioned reflex to a Fed that will never - ever - as Alan Greenspan noted - be able to remove itself from the equation.

 

"Bad News is Good News" - Thank you Mr. Bullard.

Let's just hope that this week's jobs number is terrible, or this wealth-creating idiocy will come to a rapid end.

Your point is hard to argue against. On second thought, it can't be argued against because its the only thing that actually makes any sense.

The economic version of global warming where if it's too hot, too cold, too wet or too dry it's because of global warming and no matter what the numbers say it's all bullish in the markets.....

Yes!  AWESOME!  I need to go buy me a mocha-frappe-cappu-latte with double shots and flavorings!

It will cost me $5.00 instead of this .05 cent cup of black Folgers I made myself - but it will make me look cool and feel as though I BELONG.

so what? the gold "price" (in FRNs) decoupled from the american debt ceiling, money supply, and general economy some time ago...

tick tock motherfuckers...

with 7+ billion people all competing for a better standard of living you will be surprised how fast "low prices" becomes shortages when the corrupt/fascist central planners start taking everything for themselves...

Apparently we learned nothing from the recent collapse of the Soviet Union...

It’s the only thing that matters anymore… 

They are all crawling back in the markets because they think the FED won’t raise rates. 

Why?

  1. China is in trouble and they are hinting about more money printing.
  2. Economic data reports are bad.
  3. More and more upcoming corporate earnings reports are expected to be bad.

 Well that makes perfect sense, eh?

"“Today’s rally suggests investors still prefer aid from central banks to actual growth in the economy and are willing to bear above-average risks for below-average returns,” said Channing Smith, managing director at Capital Advisors."
