Mid-East Massacre: Qatar Crashes, Saudi Stocks Plunge Most Since Black Monday
Broad middle-east and african stock markets crashed over 5%, erasing any gains back to November 2008 as the carnage from last week continues. From Kuwait (-4.3%) to Qatar (-8%) it was a bloodbath as Saudi Arabia Tadawul Index plunged 5.4% - the most since Black Monday (now down over 50% from their 2014 highs). These losses are far in excess of US 'catch-up' moves and suggest a dark cloud over Asia this evening.
It's been a bloodbath in the Middle-East since the year began...
Africa/Middle-East Stocks crashed 5%...
Saudi Arabia's Tadawul Index is down 5.4% on the day - the worst since August's collapse and has lost over 50% since its exuberant peak in 2014...
Kuwait down over 4% to 2009 lows...
But Qatar was carnaged... (down over 8%)
Makes you wonder where all that hot-money from The Fed flowed eh?

Bullish developments here. Watch the manipulated reversal before tomorrow's opening. Glad I loaded up on ou-of-the-money SP500 calls last Friday.
BTFD
You should read P.T. Barnum
I understand the geopolitics very well.
The question is, what are real assets and which should you hold? For me these are real-estate, precious metals and stocks. You can keep the rest of your paper. If the FED allows the equity market to crash, I will be really surprised. All is manipulation.
Real assets - stocks. Are you serious.
I don't mean FANG stocks. I mean companies with productive hard assets; mills, factories, manufacturing, and even agriculture. The rest are fluff.
And I suppose the fact that there is not 1 ship anywhere in the world that is en-route to a port with a cargo right now just somehow managed to escape your attention? Your shares MAY be worth something in 10 years, but then again, maybe not. Liquidity is gone and the big boyz won't sell their gold. Where do you think the capital is going to come from to support your companies while they wait out the greater depression?
That story was from China.
There is probably a boat with stuff on it from Europe right now.
The policy of Zionist expansion supported by the neocon-controlled United States is greatly facilitated by spreading chaos throughout the Arab (also Persian & Turkik) countries of the Middle East. If the KSA believes that its cooperation in creating this mess will somehow save them from a similar fate, then they are in for a nasty shock. But the Iranians do know better.
As to the US equity markets, do not think for one minute that the FED will capitulate with a "mea culpa" and suddenly begin to act in the best interests of American citizens. We have 100 years of precident upon which to make this prediction. And the strong dollar informs them that there is plenty of room to continue on the present course. Soon we will have more QE in Europe, continuing QE in Japan, more QE in China and QE4 in the US. Canada will cut its prime rate. What happens to the SP500 then?
Scorched earth is bullish.
As is your life.
Good. Best news ever. I hope they go to fucking zero.
Tyler, why do you never report performance of the Tel Aviv stock market? Is Tel Aviv not in the Middle East?
The Tel Aviv 100's performance is well in the range of European stock markets, losing "only" 3 per cent over the past year, better than the DAX (which lost 6 per cent).
Possibly they had help from the Elders of Zion, but the fact Israel isn't an Arab-ridden basket case with no exports but oil and jihad must have been a consideration.
Anyway, Tel Aviv dropped only 0.3 per cent today. For Israel, the western banksters' detente with Iran is an inconvenience, not the catastrophe it threatens to be for the House of Saud.
Me I'll go back to worrying about the TSX and the evisceration of Canada's oil industry---and the high price of cauliflower. At my grocery now CAD8 a head.
Some of those look very much like the Shanghai........or what's to become of it. Eagerly awaiting the Asia massacre (long YANG)
2000 hrs EST, the show will begin!
Beer!
Popcorn!
Hot Dawgs!
You don't think Putin read Sun Tzu?
"...the ultimate achievement is to defeat the enemy without even coming to battle...", Sun Tzu on strategic offense.
Is standard reading at KGB Academy, Comrade.
Which is what Reagan did with the Soviet Union.
Iran is going to win this. Why? Because they have been under sanctions for years and have managed to keep their economy more or less functioning, so any new money, like the 100 Billion that got released yesterday or the 3 Billion a month in oil revenue is a bonus. Saudi Arabia? Well. 80% of the population want to murder them; their cash reserves are dropping by what, 100 Billion a month and the Crowned Prince is trying to 'sell' shares in an oil company that nobody in their right minds would buy.
So long SA. It hasn't been nice knowing ye.
I can see it now, Saudi is trying to figure out how to increase oil prices. Yet everything they think about doing (like cutting production) hurts THEMSELVES more, and benefits their "enemies".
Talk about a no-win situation.
Time for another war. It's the ONLY way for Saudi to get of of this mess of low oil prices.
INDU down 1000 points within hours, or else days.
But DINDUs still doing ok. For now.
The Millennials will save us.
Baby Boomers are done. Gen X doesn't care.
Tuesday is the DOW turn.
I'll be on Wall St Tuesday selling shields to protect passers-by from falling banksters.
Better open a funeral home for banksters.
The DOWn Turn - I like that.
Isis- send moar guns&ammo!
Gulf States: We can't, the markets crashed!
Holy war? Holy shit!
I actually grabbed the real temperature data in early 2014, from 1880. Before they "jiggered" the data. And plotted it. At this link you can even download the whole spreadsheet, the more people who have it the better to preserve the record.
Bottom line....no global warming for 18 years, some wilder weather spikes, but more consistent weather overall (based on standard deviation)
Use facts when forming opinions, not other peoples opinions.

Thanks. That's a lot of work.
Glad you like it, spread the word.
Truth benefits the recipient.
Well, is there any major index that has exposure to those?
I think most of them are not even listed in MSCI Frontier Markets. (At least it is not visible in the MSCI Factsheet, except Kuwait which is in that region)
oops
lifted the Iran sanctions ehh?...........
lol lol...........hope the ragheads are enjoying their gift from their buddy obama
I love the smell of bacon in the morning.
Good to see Qatar crashing. Qatar, along with Saudi Arabia, is one of the major funders of terrorism and extremism in Europe, North America and the M/E.
If they suffer a financial crisis, then hopefully they will have to cut back on terrorism/extremism funding - to the benefit of everyone.
In late December and early Jan, a few news stories were published showing scientists who were puzzled as to why there were so few whales.
Then around Jan 4 and 5th, a bunch of news stories came out to "deny" the missing whales, and throwing out all kinds of excuses.
Almost 2 weeks have passed since the "Whale Deniers" were trooped out to what we refer to as our mass media. I did an extensive internet review today, and found no evidence of whales showing up in Hawaii. You can bet a buck to a dollar that if whales had shown up, it would be plastered all over the news with lots of "I told you so!".
