War Is Bullish: Stocks, Oil Surge Off Paris Panic Lows After Dismal Economic Data
Stocks End Green - The Terrorists Lose!!
This just seemed appropriate... (WARNING - Highly NSFW!!)
Because if one thing says Buy Stocks - it's ISIS showing just how ineffective Western governments and intelligence is in the new normal, raising uncertainty, an unprecedented 5th recession in 5 years in Japan and dismal US Empire manufacturing data...
Cash indices perfectly bottom-ticked as Europe closed...
The Dow and S&P recovered all of Friday's losses...
Of course the real reason for the rally is 'Gartman'!
Dow Futures are up over 400 points from the opening lows...
SUNE Sucked...
And Clovis was crapped on...
* * *
"123" was really all that mattered to the machines in charge of the manipulation...
But it was crude that really ran the show...
VIX was clubbed like a baby seal... with all sorts of noisy tails...biggest drop in 4 weeks
VXX dropped over 10% - the biggest single-day drop since October 2013!!!!
Sell Vol when the terrorists strike...
Credit markets continue to get crushed (with loans back at 5 year lows)...
Treasury yields were not as excited as stocks... 10Y ended the day unchanged...
Decoupling from stocks once again...
Perhaps this is why... (near record net spec shorts)
The USDollar rallied notably on EUR weakness... (1.06 handle)
Commodities were very mixed with copper and PMs drifting lower as the dollar strengthened...
Most notably crude again as algos could not help themselves...
As Copper plunged to fresh lows not seen since April 2009 - down 9 days in a row!
Charts: Bloomberg
Bonus Chart: SKEW (tail risk) is once again blowing out but VIX (normal risk) is relatively fearful perhaps signaling another abrupt drop in stocks is due...

Bah. This move is derivative of Fed credibilty, which drops in the face of any material sign of headwinds (war is just like bad data about the real economy), which means party on Wayne, party on Garth in the fake.economy, because more free money.
Economic data is mild distraction, but Boris is long on war, short on peace. This is not end well.
More dope, must have more dope.
Kill a hundred people and the market ramps. Imagine what it would do if you killed 1,000 or more.
They kill lots of innocent people all the time, why do you think the market is doing as well as it is!
See ? ...the machines are programmed to determine which level of murder and mayhem is awesome for stawks.
War? bullshit. They're going to run it back to 18K and a massive dbl-top, and then pull the old Mexican Prez 6 yr. shit-flush. The sheeple will see a GOPer take over, and think, "Oh, the new guy will fix things" ...worked for the PRI in Mexico for 70 yrs. Gringos need a duopoly to give the appearance of "competition".
Boris, as foreigner, is observe Amerikansky politik and is one conclusion. Republikan and Demokrat is same, but only difference is not freedom or conservative principal, but who is more heavy on gas as economy plummet over cliff like 1966 Baby Blue Thunderbird.
That poor clown in the comic strip - he's always hugging the toilet... Does he never have a good day...?
Which Team America character is Simon Potter?
INTELLIGENCE, fuck yeah!
So Empire index miserable....Dow rallies...
Bombing nad mass shootins in Paris which has nothing to do with US economy....Dow rallies....
Escalating hostilities in Syria with France bombing without the permission of the current GOVT. and in violation of international law...Dow rallies....
this countrys economic and financial state is a fucking joke....
DEATH TO THE MONEYCHANGERS.

MURICA!!!!!
All in all, the Dow and S & P negative YTD. Believe it or not, the magic is starting to fade away.
It looks like there was selling into the event. Foreknowledge. Same old thing. Then comes the buyers. In terms of price action, this is a bull market. There is no reason at all to expect the market not to break into new all time highs.
The seller has a downside objective of the old 2007 high. That is a credible objective, but if the indices blow up way past current highs, you can be sitting on that short for a very long time - 12-18 months. There is no getting around it. If you want to buy or sell this action, you must have stops. Once I see a pretty big blast off above the current highs I will build a pretty good short. No stops needed then. Been waiting a long time. If the market crashes from here, well, I miss trade.
Heck, it was that picture of Obama and Putin. World War 3 has been put off for a few months.
The one missing from that picture and probably most unhappy would be the House of Saud. What are the odds the powers that be decide they really are the odd man out and the magic carpet gets pulled?
Im not sure what everyone is worried about. The US spends 1 trillion more a year than it takes in, banks can lend out 10 times the amount they hold (okay maybe 20x) while using your money as collateral and paying you nothing in interest, and when they get in trouble just get free bailout money. Perhaps we shouldn't worry about rising mandatory healthcare, rising housing cost, no default student loans, and stagnant wages. We are obviously in a sweet spot, with zirp and QE taking the world by storm. Just look at that economic juggernaut Japan.
Don't worry about an endless war on common sense, don't worry about 200 trillion in under funded liabilities. Don't worry about companies that make at best 3 products being valued north of 1 trillion dollars.
Its all just bullshit paper chasing paper, that will either be devalued beyond your wildest imagination or defaulted on. At this point there is no way out we should all know this by now. So take advantage of these good times and enjoy the ones you love.
I do not think that Apple owns any factories.
or google or facecrap or twit
crude and s&p, strange bedfellows
I'd love to know how many politicians and bankers scooped up CLVS put options.
Gawd this is embarrassing. How long did the roaring twenties go on? The fat pigs are gorgeing on our carcasses. Man this is going to get ugly.............someday.
This system is so grotesquely corrupted it's just wow.
When you can place markets where you want them to go, nothing else matters.
Look at the eyes of every "stock" analyst on msnbc, none of these vampires sleep. How can you when every fucking day in and out is pure manipulation. You are going lose more than you win at this stage of the game.
Dr. Copper says Dr. Wallstreet is full of shit.
