Some people compare the Stock Market to a Gambling Casino.

 

This is an unfair comparison:

 

Most Gambling Casinos aren't rigged...

Ben Bernanke in a panel discussion at the Brookings Instititue. The discussion covered "the American economy and the role that defense industry could play in the nation’s continued recovery and economic health."

The Bernankester is full on for war as a means of restoring the US economy.

okay, so...we're 6,000 DOW bucks ahead of where we were with QE1....as far as I'm concerned, this isn't even a correction while we're still in the "thank God for the Fed" zone.   I wish I understood why we won't have to lose another 3000 dow bucks before people start questioning the Fed's Messianic Status.

While investing in stock market does not fit with my can of dog food budget, if I were to guess, these down days will convince a whole bunch of people to sell (short or otherwise).

The normal Wall Street response to selling is to buy with both hands... with some lame excuse from the Fed.

If that happens, then it is logical that it is a set-up for September.

Anyway the Sucker's Bounce is scheduled for next week.

 

200dMA will be tested, maybe exceeded a little.

 

Then 200dMA will be breached again and, afterwards, LOOK OUT BELOW.

 

There will be a nice rally during the next two weeks. It is a Sucker's Rally.

 

The Dead Cat Bounce is not expected until late October.

At least another 10 % on the downside is due for the Dow before we even begin to whisper "fair valuations".

 

Once we get there, then perhaps we can discuss the lack of earnings growth.  The Dow 30 are still on track to earn 9% fewer dollars in 2015 than 2014.  You hear no one discussing that.  But they will be.

Fri, 08/21/2015 - 16:22 | 6453065 MsCreant
MsCreant's picture

Why 10%? Given how much printing and proping has gone on, 50% or more may not be enough.

The earnings number is bad and it still is engineered as well, so even that, as a reflection of how things "really are" is going to be short of the mark.

It is possible it all happens in a waterfall event, but I would bet on ups and downs, a long emergency, where we get fooled and fooled again.

It can't get right because no one is marking assets to market. 

We stay in fantasy land until real world failures force acknowledgement that all these numbers are as Potemkin as China.

Fri, 08/21/2015 - 16:35 | 6453127 ejmoosa
ejmoosa's picture

I cannot disagree.  Ten % is based on the exagerated ratios of the last five years.

I would suspect we will see a Dow 14XXX, 14,000 will be tested, and it will fail.

Additionally, there is nothing on the horizon that will jump start profits.  Fed Rates cannot be cut, and they are NOT going to address the rules and regulations that are killing business.

I bet they even continue raising minimum wages across the country for the icing on the cake.

It's gonna be worst than 2008 before it is done.

Ms C

You are right.  In my lifetime I have seen it go to lofty highs and it always took some time getting there, but when it decides to get serious about coming down there is no way to tell how far and fast it can go.

The problem is this appears to be a worldwide crash as I do not see any green anywhere and the ppt will have a difficult time getting it back up.

Even people getting out now are still ahead from a year ago.  when they can't get out and the margin calls start coming, who knows?

All they need now is a major like GM or some Bank declaring they are in a cash flow crunch and need coin and the calls for bail out will ensue.  I hope this time they let them die like they should have let them die years ago.
