Here Are The 5 Words That Sent The Market Soaring

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Earlier today we reported that the primary catalyst for today's surge in stocks was Mario Draghi's speech in NY attempt to cover up the ECB's latest policy error as virtually every sellside analyst called Draghi's 'disappointing" decision to jawbone expectations from the ECB to the stratosphere only to fall woefully short and lead to a 500 point plunge in the DAX and the biggest surge in the EURUSD since the announcement of QE1).

But nothing was a bigger catalyst in setting the market's euphoric mood than the following exchange between Mervyn King, in which the former BOE chief asked "was today's speech deliberately designed to try offset some of the reaction yesterday?" to which Draghi had a response that shocked every central bank watcher in its brutal honesty that all that matters to the ECB at this point is the market:

"Not really... well, of course."

And there it is: at the end of the day, all modern monetary policy devolves to is offsetting a "negative market reaction", not even so much about pushing the EUR lower, which as we showed earlier, barely budged.

 

Bottom line, it was, is, and always will be about manipulating markets higher and the former Goldman Sachs banker no longer even bother not admitting it!

The spectacular exchange takes place 1 minute into the following clip.

Gotta remember that this is the Federal Reserve banking system and that commercial banks vote for all the govenors and board members.

 

There is politics at play here, and Draghi is just listening to his voters concerns. That's just not me and you.

Inflation is really becomming a big problem in europe right now. Some are still confusing it with economic growth but when this dragon starts to spew fire this will be a repeat of the 50's, the 70's, the 80's and the 90's combined.

Supermarkets and business should post a sign saying "why are prices up?  Blame central banks."  Think if most people understood this they would stop the likes of Draghi and Yellen.   If you are a consumer why would you want prices to go up?

They're not even trying to hide the fact that they're taking care of the 1%. It's not like the proles are paying attention anyway.

Actually, a lot of us ARE paying attention. And it is occurring to us that all they are accomplishing is the ultimate collapse of what they're using as money. Though it seems as though they are making a few friends very rich, that wealth is measured in the very money they are rapidly rendering worthless.

All super-rich are wealthy on PAPER only. They are rich because they have many billions of DOLLARS...or EURO's, or whatever. Their wealth will NOT survive the death of the currencies it is measured in.

A man with one small home he can defend actually HAS something of value. A Warren Buffet with hundreds of millions in real estate 'claims' all over the globe will have a tough time making good on those claims if those hundreds of millions should lose their value. He'll be stuck wherever he happens to be at the time.

That is not entirely true. The 1% are quickly converting their filthy soon to be worthless fiat into hard assets. The 99% will be fleeced yet again as their fiat is trapped in the system in the form of savings, fiat denominated debt, and 401(k)/IRAs. Same scam that made the House of Rothschild mightier than the King of England.

 u know what i have  been a member here for over 6 fuckin years listening to this dribble i invested in 2500 ozs. of silver and if i would have taken that money and invested in the stock market i would be a whole lot better off thank you ZH woops i mean fuck you zh

If you lived in Brazil or Argentina or Chile, then you would be very grateful.  This isn't an investment; it is purchasing power protection.  Two ozt's of silver filled an SUV gas tank 10 years ago, 5 years ago, today and 5 years from now.  Get the point; you should be aware that it is a hedge against inflation and a bet against this debt and ZH has made that point in many different ways. 

 

All you have shown is a lack of patience.  BTW - if you made investments in PM's since the depegging of the gold standard in 1974, your return on investment would far exceed all markets.  Patience.

 

Although we are living in unprecedented times and that means we do not know how bad this is going to end, but end it will and ugly it will.

I see that aside from utterly failing to understand the value of owning gold, you also have some real problems with math.

One of these days this is all going to come around and bite them and all of us in the ass. It is clear and has been clear for years that the only goal is to manipulate asset prices higher and create the mother of all asset bubbles. The only policy is to keep printing money and when that doesn't work to print even more money and when that doesn't work to print even more money.

After 2008, their justification was that asset prices were well below normal and were impeding the growth of the economy. Now with asset prices at record levels these policies continue. Yeah, that makes sense.

I've seen a lot of charts the best of which compares now to a host of other times and declares only one other time in history has it been worse than this.

Those make me think that we have a ways to go because THIS is the most manipulated thing in history and I think it'll keep on chugging to awe inspiring heights so that it will be 2nd to none on the collapse scale when the last exhausted bear gives up and it finally tumbles down.

Many of us think the bond market is a bubble and when it pops it will leave a massive path of destruction in its wake. Surprisingly it is clear the general public is totally unaware of the ramifications it will have and how it is a massive game changer.

I'm not talking just about corperate bonds , but government bonds as well. If history has taught us anything it might be nothing stays the same forever. Below is an article that delves into how this would be a watershed event that is not only possible, but likely. These clowns have created a sick mess that will be difficult to clean up.
