The "Markets" React To FOMC-Minutes-Implied Fed Confusion
No new news whatsoever, aside from perhaps greater emphasis on the fact that now The Fed is 'protector of global wealth creation' given the smorgasbord of risks discussed... left market participants and machines as confused as The Fed appears to be...
What that looks like...
Stocks... dump'n'pump
Commodoties Cluelesss...
And Crude is now puking it back to a $50 handle...
Giving back all the last 2 day's squeezey gains...
Dollar and Bond (yields) roundtripping too

we should worry if the FOMC minutes ever had any conviction.
My 6 year old knew what the reaction was going to be...buy stawks and sell gold. He's heard me shout it out enough that he already knows...It ain't exactly a secret what the Fed is up to or how thin and fragile their egos are requiring market substantiation of every utterance.
Just read Bernanke's blog if you want to better understand just how thin, evil, and childish these Fed officials really are.
A comment I made after a similar press release a few years ago about our white-collar criminal banking syndicate:
Kentucky Derby management owns race track.
Kentucky Derby management owns 1 horse.
Only 1 horse allowed to race.
Judges and timekeepers are paid off.
Track officials are paid off.
Public can only make 1 bet: That the horse will lose.
Track owners short the publics' bet, go double long that it will win.
Gambling public left stunned.
Track owners laughing their asses off.
Mayor of city where track is located holds PR conference, says he may shorten track, or lengthen track, or trim green chutes around edges, or not trim green chutes around edges, or taper corners, or not taper corners, or provide new exit gate, or close exit gate.
Public analyzes Mayors' words and feel comforted in the clarity.
Media prints articles on how smart Mayor is.
good stuff! only i will add that the kentucky track owners sell fiberoptic laserbeam teleporters to a select few of better's that let them see the winner of the race before it happens, and allow them to skim off everyone elses bets.
I used to go to the track and I wouldn't place my bet until I saw the big money being place in the last seconds before the gates opened. Easy pickens, I always won more than I lost. Note: this only works with smaller crowds and purses - the Kentucky Derby has way to much money being bet to see who the heavy betters were picking.
good parenting begins at pointing out the bullshit on financial media outlets. ;-)
Shame on you letting children under age 45 play in the street like that (unless they are top level programmers)!
Thin? I dunno. they all look kinda fat to me.
Serfs just think your kid has lived their entire life with a centrally planned maket.
I'm making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do... www.globe-report.com
A monkey with a dart could do better
he could do better if his aim was impecable and FED officials were the bullseye.
. . . you forgot the recreational drugs.
If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit......
i remember the old days when i used to read those. now they are meaningless.
They don't know. It's another case of going down together.
That, by the way, is on my short list of favourite editorial cartoons of all time. An oldie and a very goodie.
I just HAD to chuckle as I watched bozos bid up gold stocks in the last 2 hours, only to get their asses handed to them in a matter seconds at 2pm.
Don't those guys know that no matter what the fed has to say, Gold WILL get slammed the very second the FOMC minutes are released???
actually I think ther ewas a lot of short covering so many went to sideline--now shorting again.
I bought gdx puts about 1 minute before the top of the hour--sold them already.a double.
I think this time is different. The fed can move the markets with their words!
Seems like 80% of the time on FOMC days both high and low stops of the day are approached or taken out by 2:30, then after a VWAP touch, machines choose a particular direction.
F#cked, completely.
Until we see negative yields and QE4, 5 or 6, it's time to BTFATH or BTFD.
What, no mention of sub $1200 gold?
The FED puts the BS in BS.
Words are the only thing left.
How about all those "Gold surges" we keep reading about?
All's quiet when gold drops ... that or its a WTF! or "insane" or "clueless"... ZH is a mouthpiece for gold shilling.
BOTH OF YOU ARE FUCKING IDIOTS! GOLD HAS DOMINATED THE EURO, YEN, RUBLE, AND COUNTLESS OTHER CURRENCIES! GET THE FUCK OFF ZERO HEDGE!
No. I will not allow you to wallow in your confirmation bias.
Dude, look at a gold vs. euro chart. And stop fucking writing on ZH until you understand the market. We don't need idiots on here just writing for no good reason.
LOL! Nobody understands the "market". Least of all a website that has been telling people to buy a depreciating asset for 4 years now.
See this is what I mean. You are simply TROLLING ZH to bash gold. Get a fucking life.
Right because what a couple of nobodies say in the comment section of a fringe website can move a multi-billion dollar market. Right.
Fielding Not sure about you, but I have this market completely figuered out. You just need to invest in ......... oh wait I wasn't expecting that to happen.
Gold vs the euro!!!!!!!!!!! And you trash gold! Fucking idiot!
Actually, if you live in canada, Gold has done extremely well the past 2 years. I suspect that the same may hold true for pretty much all countries with the exception of u.s.
There is no market.
There is only Central Command (not the Fed)
Rates no longer matter.
You mean centcom, I assume. I'll give you this- you ARE consistent in your opinions. I don't agree, but you get points in my book for sticking by your guns, so to speak.
Centcom is part of it in my view, and fighting for strong dollar and control of the Fed.
I mean Gang of Eight

Now if only he spoke as if they were opinions, rather than his current stance that he knows all.
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME
There you go man, keep as cool as you can
Face piles of trials with smiles
It riles them that you perceive the web they weave
And keep on thinking free
No worries Kevin Henry has got this...
for the love of Mike dumbasses, there is no market!!
Words pump gold under $1200, more words needed to keep it there possibly required. Fed indicates that more words are available and could be used in the next meeting. Commentators are trying to guess next words that will be spoken by Fed although Fed remaining tight lipped about possible words that will be deployed.
Fed member rumoured to mutter "what the f#ck have we got left to deploy other than words" when asked to comment but these words CANNOT be confirmed.
I think it's a little more organisaed that that cartoon. They must make milions when they jointly rip the market 100 Dow points.
How does that go again ...???
Bottoms are quiet and tops are volatile? Or was it the other way around?
Doesn't matter, the Fed will never let the stock markets fall (commodities yes, stocks now) because the people have no more blood to give to keep Goldman Sachs alive.
The vampire squid has drained us dry.
Don't you guys just love "Free Markets". Amerika!
Did you ever notice how much Janet Yellen looks like Captain Kangaroo?
"Let me introduce myself. My name is, uh, Kangaroo... Kangaroo — Captain Kangaroo … I'm the keeper here of the Treasure House."
Replace Yellen with a proven bank regulator (Mr. Black).
Let the chips fall.
No President would have the guts to do it.
I thought Jews were suppose to be so brilliant?
There is one issue that bothers me much lately. If I falsificated 500 EUR notes I would go to prison for many years. They falsificate my personal wealth printing 500 EUR notes for themselves every day. They should be in prison.
Fuck you Bernanke, Draghi and all printing press thieves!
I am printing this whole article and keeping a copy for my library. What a classic. Imagine, who would think that algos could be a silly as the rest of us? . . . Erm, . . .
if the market reacts positively to the first rate increase, you're all gonna jump off a bridge.
Fed confused...WTF?
self serving aholes.
Even some of the Pros don't know what the fuck to do next.
Oh, well I made some money both selling and buying a couple of NASDAQ futures contracts during this roler-coaster ride.
One of the better cartoons!...MY MAIN MAN!!
