Consumer Sentiment Decouples From Stocks As Black Americans' Comfort Nears 2015 Lows

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It appears there is a simple solution to regaining animal spirits in America... mandate black Americans to buy Nasdaq stocks...

 

 

The adnministration should call this program "Obam-E-trade"

No such luck.

People with IQ's below 85 are more trouble than they're worth as soldiers. That's why Arab armies are regularly torn to pieces by armed forces of civilized countries like Russia and Israel. Arabs are IDIOTS.

(That's why the ones without oil are still dirt-poor. I digress.)

And so are blacks---though Uncle Sugar will never admit that.

Uncle, when he has a choice, prefers to use white people as cannon fodder. They're easier to train, and if they get killed---well, that's fewer people likely to revolt when they come home to find nobody wants to hire someone smart enough to stand a chance of becoming the competition one day.

Oh, you mean like the 3rd ID Thunder Run:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3rd_Infantry_Division_%28United_States%29

And this is how Russia has fared against "Arabs":

"For many Gulf Arabs, Russia's entry into Syria's war brings echoes of older strains surrounding the Saudi-backed resistance to Soviet occupation troops in Afghanistan in the 1980s."

Black sentiment seems to have greater peaks and troughs than White sentiment.

We were promised handouts of a free nature and all we got were lame college protests over vague charges of racism where nothing actually happened.

I don't like how zerohedge put "animal" spirits and black americans in the same sentence. 

Clearly racism sweeping through the interwebs. I demand for the site to be shut down and the owners be thrown to the gallows.

You're missing the point that only black lives matter.

You're right, it's a clear example of a micro-aggression (EEK).  Something must be done.

You cannot "fix" stupid.  Don't waste your time and resources.  this is a very difficult lesson for some, especially when it comes to idiots in your immediate family.  Based on conversations with some of my employees, this seems to be a bit harder in the black community.

Well, I am not a racist. I hire the person that gets shit done, regardless of anything.  Perhaps you don't. 

But then again, we don't own a politician, so we can't demand a bailout either.

Not saying you are.

If you hire the best person for the job that ipso facto makes you a racist because that person will almost never be black.

Now you're just baiting.

If black population is 10%, I wouldn't call that almost never.

Didn't ZH just have an article saying Blacks were doing awesome?  You're damn straight they're doing great - just don't ask them.

Yaaa, there has never ever ever been a better time to be Black than now.  We should all be so lucky and

seek to find our inner blackness.

"mandate black Americans to buy NAZ stocks"

Not feasible:

1) McDonalds will take a huge hit

2) Probably some donations required for black only 'safe spaces'

3) Need some bucks to pay the orgnizers for scheduled faux walkouts

4) To ridiculous to post anything else on this...

This article would've gotten more hits with one of those Brazillian chick avatars ;)

I laughed too, Tyler, but seriously:

The consumer confidence thing is basically the result of an opinion poll. The sub-sample of blacks is much smaller than the white one, so the results are going to bounce around a lot more.

The only real difference I can see is that black CC is usually below white CC---where it will probably remain till Obama and his successors finally succeed in driving white living standards down to black levels.

They aren't quite there yet, but it's not for lack of trying.

My take away here is that black cc has high volatility.

Blacks just want free money and to be in charge of everything forever - maybe then they will cork their cry holes.

That worked out so well for Zimbabwe.

Doesn’t matter, only undocumented progressive differently-abled transgendered public-assisted nonwhite or Far East Asian multi-racial Islamovictim lives matter.
