Because nothing says buy the dip like almost the worst retail sales print since Lehman...

Cash rallied out of the gate...

 

as the initial dip was bought aggressively...

... meanwhile, riddle me timbers ... (I was tempted to put WTFF) ... the American taxpaying sheeple got fleeced again ...

   ... "NYC settles Eric Garner chokehold case for $5.9 million" ... >>> http://rt.com/usa/273472-nyc-eric-garner-settlement/

... but, who says the gub-"mint" has no mo money? ... they still have mint-money-printers ... and only $18.3T in debt, and counting ... so, what's another $4M/hour to give to Afghan tribal leaders ...

   ... "Afghan war costs American taxpayers $4 million per hour – study" ... >>> http://rt.com/usa/273457-afghanistan-war-costs-usa/ ...

       ... however, with all the sourdough-spreading-around-the-middle-east, they couldn't even support the very people who sacrificed their lives for "freedom" ... make that freedumb ...

Expect the tyranny from the US .gov to correlate @ an r2 of >0.9 with the (QE + deficit spending).  When there is no fiscal accountability, there is no check on .gov power, and therefore tyranny will occur.

No prob, we haven't had teevee of any kind for a year. Cable was gone two years ago, and we don't miss it at all.

Nuance.  The Constitution, meant to limit government powers, now does mean "anything"

True, rates are going nowhere despite what they may be saying in the MSM. But surely at some point this fantasy economy is going to collide with the real underlying economy.Then blam! Will be interesting to see if people buy the dip then, not realising its actually the Mariana trench until its too late.

I guess if you have more Old Navy tops than you need, you buy your own stock.

 

 

It's for the shareholders (ignore executive compensation behind the curtain).

The central planners make it too easy. BTFD when they put out the scare stories and STFR when everything is "fixed".

yes,  zh, we both are talking about the same thing.  doom and gloom but in slightly different way. you think the doom and gloom will play out exactly your way. I think before we run out of options there will always be at least two ways .... your way of the way of The Plan B.

if you see closely, which ever way it happens,  the end result is not good.  My concern is that what if they pull if off.  If they pull it off and kick the can any further then whatever options we have will not be available to the next generations ...

you are lambasting evil as if you know it. trust me, if you knew you would not be anonymous.

Thanks to you zh, over 100 countries now know about The Plan B. whether they agree or not is their choice.
