If It Wasn't For These 8 Companies The Market Would Be Down In 2015

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While FANG (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google) has become ubiquitous among the retail investing public still 'trading stocks', now it is time to meet NOSH (Nike, O'Reilly, Starbucks, Home Depot). The reason is simple - without these 8 stocks, the S&P 500 would be down year-to-date... "solid foundation" for the next leg in the bull market? Or teetering inverted pyramid scheme?

 

Finally, we couldn't help but notice that this list of 8 stocks is basically all the names that Jim Cramer is jamming down retail investors' throats (and thus hedge fund momo chasers) as the only stocks "that work." Such 'weak' hands do not bode well if this whole ponzi scheme turns down once again.

Looks to me like it's only Amazon and Google.

So... you're saying that this stool still has 8 legs propping it up?

BULLISH!

Not so ironically, these 8 companies also own the US Government

Mostly companies made up of rooms full of computer servers.  Man oh man!  If an EMP weapon ever does go off over the heartland, there's goes all the zeroes and ones and the accompanying imagined value!

Take away the fiat games and the market would be shorted to 0 by the end of the week.

 It would also be the best thing that could happen to main street.

Well, other than all of the false-flag diversionary tactics, of course, as they would be targeting Main St.

They zeroed in on main street a long time ago. Its a tough lot.

So how many of these 8 companies are actually producing stuff? Oh dear, how times have changed...

Interesting the companies that are up are either self-entertainment or do-it-yourself.

Sure sounds like a bunch of somebodies have a lot of time on their hands and are trying to save (or at least not spend as much) money. I wonder why that is... /s

but it's all okay now because obammy-care takes up the majority of our "GDP" now...so we've always got that to rely on, right? ;-)

Here's another way to look at it.

Although there are 500 companies in the S&P 500, the top 50 have a greater Market Cap than the other 450 companies combined.

Nike stocks? Be careful !!

Number of ISIS militants had been reduced.

Militants returning to home countries are avoiding also Nike shoes so as not to be detected at the borders.

Remaining ones are switching to Adidas

I was not aware that any of the FANG of four made money, other than market capitalization, stock options and buybacks for the few.

They make money the old fashioned way, CIA backed venture funds.

The markets will be just fine as long as the PPT can keep their hands on the board of directors of these great8.  You know...year end bonuses and all.

So if the Internet goes down, US stocks are screwed.

WTF happened to America???  We used to make stuff, and at one time "made in the USA" meant the best in the world.
