Tyler Durden's picture




When one sees a chart such as the one below, what can one say but... Bull Market! And "Fed-generated Price Stability" of course. For the first time in history, the Dow has moved up and down by over 400 points. And in the last 5 minutes we see a 20 point drop in ES. All in a day's work for schizophrenics. And now, we are all reminded yet again that Europe still exists, as do its markets, and tomorrow should be a truly fantastic day for "The Price Stability."

Oh, and look where volume picked up. Shocker, we know.

Matt Miller, (Bloomberg), argued with Ira Epstein that the market is cheap and he's a buyer at this level.

Ira told him he's wrong. Nothing has changed and we are in a BEAR market.  Hello...... Nobody's home in Matt's head. 

He also co-anchored a report saying how insiders are buying at record levels.  I emailed him and told him to read Barron's page M13.

I should have told him to read Zero Hedge, my bad.  When the market trades at a PE of 8 or 9 it will be worth a look to me.

We are not being paid for risk. Unless we add to PM's. 

On another note, Shorts not allowed in France. Hmmmm. Goldman Sachs upgrades ALL banks on the same day. Hmmmm.

Is it fair to say this is a short covering rally and the trading desk of GS made money today burning them.

TA won't matter tomorrow. If the HF redemptions are massive, every rally will be sold into, commodities liquidated, and the equity market will move within a +/- 200 point range. Just a guess at this point in time because fundamentals still play a role.

Robos are in charge and doing their job. 70% of trading is done by robos.

 

I'm sure that there are people reading this that recall the days when the market use to only trade within single digits then it went to double digits.

 

Now the robos can handle triple digits moves as a normal intra day movements.

 

Will we soon see triple digits as the "good old days"?

 

 

Who is that peon that is feeding the ROBO information?

 

That peon is making all the traders look like idiots.

It's going to be down tomorrow, it has to.  Because nobody and I mean nobody wants to go long with all the rumors running abour BAC, Societ General and other banks needing backstopping and maybe going into bankruptcy.  Remember Lehman Brothers CEO was on CNBC saying everything was fine and less than 24 hours it decided to file for bankruptcy and such.  They will say it's all good up to the last minute, that is why you will never see the CEO of Lehman Brothers ever going back on CNBC or any other news channel, he would have to explain the unexplainable.

Is it a tougher or easier case for QE now with these wild market swings of 5%? I really dont know...but if they can make +500 point DOW days stick, wheres any panicked pleas from the peasantry to please take more of our money to make the bad man go away?

Thu, 08/11/2011 - 16:48 | 1551953 hedgeless_horseman
hedgeless_horseman's picture

The case for QE has little or nothing to do with propping up the equity markets, and everything to do with supporting the treasury auctions. 

Tyler's Russell 2000 Third Mandate for the Fed is merely a side effect of Dr. Bernanke's treatment for a sick American economy, and a secondary derivative of QE at best, but we can still trade it.

This. Basically the Fed has to keep rates at Zero to allow the government to keep borrowing. Problem is These rates cant last forever. Think about what happens when 16 trillion in bonds have a 1% rate increase.. compared to 14 trillion bonds having a 1% rate increase. Really the Fed should raise rates and force the pain and force the government to stop borrowing.  It is only going to be worse once their is more debt to deal with.
