It Really Is Different This Time: It's Worse

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Another talking-head myth destroyed: there has never, ever, been a higher percentage of IPOs that are are unprofitable! It really is different this time, it's worse.

The health of the financial system is whatever you believe it to be.

4 charts that explain why the Fed should be very worried...and why now is the last opportunity to raise rates and claim mission accomplished ahead of the next economic downturn

Good post right up until you said this "There is no driver for increased demand and consumption." --

Sorry hambone, with 7+ billion people, and growing, all competing for a higher standard of living there is plenty of demand for the consumption of real resources.

Now that money creation no longer requires any real collateral or real risk (thanks to bailouts), bankers and financiers are in fact nothing but useless overcompensated middlemen between the printer/computer (where money is created) and the producer/consumer in the real economy.

Fuck em, time to execute the fucking middleman.

Economic in terms of goods and services, not paper.

Just like the dotcom bubble where earnings were based on the projection of the mind in total greed state.

This market is a combination of that "exuberance" AND free money. What a fucking disaster this is.

I don't know how to make a profit either ... so maybe I should IPO myself immediately.

Invest in mine, I created an app that harvests ZH downvotes and turns them into bitcoins.  I make supportive comments about Obama, George Soros, and Victoria Nuland on each post here and have made a fortune.

Thanks to "mark to fantasy" accounting you can make your balance sheet look like whatever the fuck you want.  Everything is awesome and as a "limited liability" person/corporation we can all do whatever the fuck we want to do...

When your basis of measurement is screwed up, every decision you make based on that measurement is screwed up.

Accounting is pretty fundamental to financial measurement.

Yes, however, in this case it is being done by design.  fucking treason.

The red button is interest rates. Regardless of the real financial impact, pushing that button will set the dominos in motion.

TPTB will push the button at a time most convenient to their needs.

I don't know much about Rand Paul, but, that everyone seems to hate him - I like that a lot in a person. I still won't vote though.

ZH needs to IPO. Oh thats right they can't, because then they would disclose who actually pays their bills.

it was written during the bubble before the bubble before the current bubble.  shit!  I'm only forty-frakin-five & I seriously just wrote that?!?  well, at least I'm forty-frakin-five w/a paid off house, kids' college funded & enough savings to walk away if need be (mainly b/c I recognized/avoided the previous ones).

Oh yeah, and that latest POS IPO SoulCycle.  What a fing joke that thing is.  The one in Tribeca on the corner of West Street is full of Goldman trophy wives...they all have great bodies but skanky joo faces, every one of them dripping with hate for anything that even remotely rubs them the wrong way.

But if you adjust "earnings" by removing all expenses and reclassify them as one time extraordinary charges - you all of a sudden are showing profits of almost $.01 a share

I know. I lost thousands of dollars on the Amplify IPO today.

Because I thought popcorn in a bag was going to be the next big thing.

Tesla Motors stock is getting it's ass handed to it right now after the earnings report. Everyone is selling off big companies after earnings because they know the end of the party is near.

The correction has already started. Pump and dump city, baby!
