Strap In! China Is Crashing Again

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In the last 2 days, PBOC has thrown everything at the ponzi-fest they call a rational market. An RRR cut, a Benchmark rate cut, a rev repo rate cut, a CNY50 Bn rev repo injection, a stamp duty cut, IPO halts (cut supply), and last but not least permission to speculate with a reassurance that shares on a solid foundation. The outcome of all this policy-panic - CHINEXT (China's Nasdaq) is down another 6% today (down 25% in 3 days) and aside from CSI-300 futures, all other major Chinese indices are in free-fall. 

The message from The PBOC:

  • Don't believe or follow negative rumors against Chinese economic development
  • *LOOSE LIQUIDITY TO SUPPORT CHINA'S STOCK MARKET: SEC. JOURNAL
  • *IMPROVING ECONOMY TO SUPPORT CHINA'S STOCK MARKET: SEC. JOURNAL

The result:

 

Some context...

 

So much for these flows:

  • *CHINA MAJOR BLUE-CHIP ETFS HAVE $1.5B NET PURCHASE MONDAY: NEWS

Add to that the fact that industrial metals are collapsing with steel rebar limit down...

 

...and it appears Central Bank Omnipotence is under threat.

China equity ponzi "markets" down 25% in 3-4 days (another 50% to go, and a real estate bubble of equal proportions, a bond bubble of equal proportions, and 28 trillion in USD denominated leveraged debt, and factories & ships shutting down/idle by the hundreds each day),, Brazil begging for closer relations with the U.S. today thanks to their now near Economic Depression, Russia sinking, yet ZH will come out with a series of articles as to how China-Russia will rule the world soon, with Brazil & India in tow.

This is the problem with China.  When their potemkin real estate economy finally tanks they can't even engineer a proper transition into paper asset mania. 

In the US when our "real" economy tanks we at least have the common decency to pump the shit out of paper assets for 6 years straight.  They can't even manage it for 6 months.

Not many of you are aware.  But the Large Hadron Collider has started up again after a 2 year hiatus. 

The Large Hadron Collider is an improbability drive, which creates 6 sigma or greater events to occur more frequently, culminating in a fat tail probability distribution.  The LHC effects how the wave function collapses.

Consider all the 6 sigma or greater events (environmental, financial, biological) that have occured, when the LHC is operational.

Quant models can't compensate for a non-normal distribution of events.  Grexit is the first of MANY 6 sigma events going forward.

That's right!

The power of massive Hadron Collider has been increased ten times to rip a hole in space itself which will pull the Earth and entire solar system into an pan-dimensional universe where reality is whatever you think it should be.

"correction"

An entire generation of Chinese is getting schooled in how not to lose trillions of RMB the hard way... not playing the markets.

This is the Nikkei in 1990 again, and you won't have "investors" "returning" to the "market" after this "correction" any more than the Nikkei ever came close to its highs again.

I think most people have it backwards.

The Fed must be getting really pissed, as their biggest targets for an on-demand crash to stage a run into the US Dollar when it becomes necessary are dropping off the radar: first Russia survived the Ruble short pretty well and likely has hardened against future attempts, and now China is crashing, which is much better for them it happening now than later.

Remember "Back to the Future III" ?

Doc is aboard an old steam locomotive, pushing Marty in the DeLorean time machine out front, desperately trying to achieve that magical 88 mph needed to transport both the car and Marty back to their right time.

Doc uses specially-made logs to turbocharge the locomotive by superheating the thing's boiler...driving Marty faster and faster.

Global central banks have been tossing their "logs" onto the rackets around the world just like Doc did to the rig he was on. Each "log" (round of QE or other warping stimulus measure the loons come up with) bursts into inflated assets and derivative plays as its tossed onto the exchange fires, in the same way Doc's boiler fire burst into more speed.

And just like the superheated locomotive boiler began popping rivets (EU/Greece debacle, and now more Chinese caving), rackets, banks, and what's passing for capital economies the world over, are now popping their rivets too, under the high pressure of enormous debt, public and private.

And as you'll recall, the old locomotive ultimately blew up...

I remember some 30 years ago, when I first contemplated trading futures, the reaction from my friends, family and the brokers themselves was very negative. 'You will lose everything' they said. To prove them wrong, I delayed my trading debut for 12 months, while I researched the reasons why so many people lost their money. Any way here I am today. All though not insanely rich, I am still here trading my life away, managing to keep my family well fed, housed and living a fairly comfortable lifestyle.

Despite feeling a sense of sympathy towards the ladies in the photographs, there is a lesson to be learned. Speculation is no place for the unprepared. If you want to dabble in something which is a very close cousin of gambling, I cannot stress how important it is to do your homework first.

The doubting Thomas's I encountered initially, gave me the incentive to learn before I took the plunge.

I met a few very smart US farmers some time ago who dealt in corn and soybean futures and they also made good money at it.

Food production was their life anyway and they loved it, and futures were extremely important for their survival, so they got into it very deeply and got very good at it. They said it saved them while their neighbors were going bankrupt. I though t it was gambling until I met these guys. Well, raising a crop is a big gamble each year too.

The true reason for the existence of futures. These days, futures are much better understood than they were more than 2 decades ago. But it still surprises me, that when someone asks what I do for a living, when I tell them, their response is 'ah, so you're a gambler.' It annoys the hell out of me.

This is a lesson on counterintuitive outcomes in the real world: "An RRR cut, a Benchmark rate cut, a rev repo rate cut, a CNY50 Bn rev repo injection, a stamp duty cut, IPO halts (cut supply), and last but not least permission to speculate with a reassurance that shares on a solid foundation."

Love it. Now do nothing about the losses and go after the banksters who will no doubt start whining about bailouts and the economists who implemented the last QE-lite in April. Simple.

What you expect from that bubble, this bubble need to deflate BTW.

Any guys with half-brain saw that it was unsustainable now saying the China is over and dead may be presumptuous.
