As Dow Passes 13,000 In Nominal Terms, Here Is The "Real" Picture
Three charts that perhaps will calm the nominal euphoria as Dow 13000 screams across the screens. Since May 2008, the Dow is unchanged in price and down 50% in 'real' gold terms. The picture is just as disheartening from the start of 2011 and 2012. Next stop Dow 20,000 and Gold 20,000?
From May 2008, The Dow priced in Gold is down 50% while we have nominally recovered unchanged.
From the start of 2011. The Dow is up 11.35% while in real terms it is down 12.4%...
and from the beginning of this year, the Dow is up 4.8% while in gold 'real' terms, it is down 4.25%...

Forgot the illuminist eye on the top of that triangle.
Can we see the Dow priced in AAPL?
I hope you got most of your AAPL stock back before iPhone and iPad started to go gangbusters.
Other market participants are all looking to get a slice of the consumer pie, samsung, google, amazon and others.
I would review some of Reggie Middletons posts re why AAPL is way overbought at this juncture.
I did not neg you, just figured you're not that sharp.
and RM has been completely fucking wrong, why don't you go back and review his posts and you can see how wrong he has been, all of his numbers on iphone sales have been way off, you know not what you are talking about, just look at apple's last earnings numbers instead of going to the RM trough
Eventually everyone who is trying to prop up the "growth" world is going to be wrong: RM is seemingly incapable of acknowledging this (continues to just promote more of what's totally unsustainable).
Reversal of economies of scale. APPL's numbers are going to turn parabolically to the downside as austerity starts to permeate the globe: people will have to spend their time doing actual PHYSICAL labor and spending their hard-earned money on stuff that matters (like food).
Since when does APPL have monetary properties? Since when does APPL exist? a blip by historical scale. The earth did not start in the 80s with Ronald Reagan, Madonna and Steve Jobs.
DOW 13,000....so now what? LOL what a clownshow.
LOL all theyre doing is inflating markets by printing money....what chicanery!!!!!
DOW 20,000, gold $20,000, gallon of gas $20,000.....allrightey then!
So, people will FINALLY be forced to learn math skills?
Always reminds me of this Beavis and Butt-Head skit:

The sheep are about to get sheared -- again. The "retail investors" will pile in here and will be prime pickings.
Theres a tool for that. Its called the sell button
Stacking VXX & TVIX , and slaughter recommendation will be appreciate it Louis.
Hard to imagine "my" SPX 1380 given the probable future events (CAC, IMF uncertainty, Iran, technical selling, etc.). I would say "OPERATION ROBO-KILL" should be taking place soon enough. Maybe after a close or two above DOW 13000 to sucker in the last passengers for the elevator drop.

You heard it first: markets are setting up for what more than one trading unit is calling "OPERATION ROBO-KILL" named after our own very beloved "Robot Trader." The idea is to swiftly demoralize Perma-Bulls into selling at a loss.
A little flash crash maybe? I'm sure they'll cancel the non-blackpool trades so that only the most dubious can profit from it.... the VIX will certainly be interesting to watch while the process is in action
Yes. There are still a few not yet in the corral. But it is almost time to harvest. :-) I am a little bit hard.
Three charts that perhaps will calm the nominal euphoria as Dow 13000 screams across the screens.
I don't know that it will calm the uphoria as I believe the masses won't comprehend this. I can just picture Obama talking about this in the fall. Stock market is up and unemployment is down.
Yes, with 5-8$ per gallon gas, winning!
Lucky number 13K! Yay!
I'd just like to thank Dr. Bernanke. Without you none of this would be possible! There's someone I'm forgetting... um... oh, gosh ... [forehead slap]
And now ladies and gents, Its Hindenberg omen time. Who cares? it just sounded good. Rally on.
Green is good... no?
spam at 20,000 we'd need the presses to go HAM for another few yrs
13Kay, Okaaaaaaaay!
Is Robo contributing to all this? Or the sideliners have jumped in.
btw the Dow is up by 96% from the 2008 bottom.
When did the Dow first hit 13,000, the Clinton administration?
How high would the Dow have to be to equal the inflation adjusted 1990's peak?
How about the NASDAQ? LOL.
April 20, 2007 DOW @ 12,961.98 and should be at 14,169.87 today according to an annual rate of inflation of 9.3%. At least that is according to the BLS Inflation Claculator. I can't believe they would admit to 9.3% annual inflation. - http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm
Hey Doc.
Thanks for the link Sir
I couldn't quickly find any historical charts of the 1990s peak but I found this on wiki:
"On May 3, 1999, the Dow achieved its first close above the 11,000 mark (11,014.70)."
So, poking 11,000 & 1999 into your BLS calculator, the Dow would have to be north of 30,000 just to be equal to what it was in the '90s. Super.
Thirty thousand, thirteen thousand, I guess they sound a lot alike anyway.
NASDAQ's still gonna be a whole 'nother story. :)
The rates for an increase from 12,961.98 in 2007 to 14,169.87 now is 1.87% simple and 1.8% annualized, Dick. ...Also 11000 in 1999 is 14965 now, or rates of 2.8% simple and 2.4% annualized.
Take a closer look at that calculator. You read it wrong. That is NOT the annualized rate of inflation that they are claiming.
You numbers may be off a bit, but this is a fun little game. The point is the Dow has failed to keep up with even the most conservative measures of inflation. Even if you reinvested dividends you would lag. If I had time to kill, I'd try numbers for different indexes and time periods.
So, even WITH all the hyper-printing via QEs the DOW is STILL shy by about 9%? Yeah, go DOW, DOW Number One!
It's like when I try to get my fire going in my wood stove, huffing and puffing at some dying coals hoping that if I just huff and puff MORE that those diminishing coals will multiply and get the fire going. Continued huffing and puffing would only result with me passing out and, a dead fire.
No actual kindling or firewood has been added. I suspect that people are suffering from a mass loss of oxygen to the brain...
Watching for the Death Cross then Dow Death Collapse...
NO! Don't turn around and look, else you'll be sucked in and your soul will become zombie-fie'd!
thank you posting these charts. in a money printing environment, everything has to be priced in gold in order to be truely valued.
OMG I've seen you somewhere before... You totally look like a zoomed-out version of a guy I saw once...
Unfortunately, I can say the same about your avatar and a peruvian hooker!
ROFL. That's so filthy, I wish i could up arrow you again.
I have a little surprise for you, see this little guy:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/dow-passes-13000-nominal-terms-here-real-p...
Guess what?
Are you saying, you are in fact a male smurf's anus?
This is what most people seem to miss. You can't value anything without a stable currency. The absolute value of the market is not relevant only the purchasing power it represents. This is why you can have rising prices in a depression. We ain't seen nothing yet.
Exactly. Most don't realize its not about price, but about value. Valuation is the key, in a devalued currency induced cost push inflation price world. As the value of fixed assets (real estate) deflate.
Indeed! DOW 20,000 ~ GOLD 20,000
As they say, it's all relative!
Been saying this for years with all the folks jawing on and on about what the price of a barrel of oil would be.
The REAL issue is affordability.
great time for a turnaround tuesday
Somewhere, the bot's are giving each other algo high fives...break out the vintage silicone.
FYI, silicone goes into bathroom caulk and boobies. Silicon goes into microchipped algo bots.
Is it just me or does that first graphic spread look alot like a giant Pac-Man mouth ready to devour us all?!?
no, it's the doomsday machine from Star Trek. The only way to "kill" it was for Captain Kirk to fly right into its giant maw. At that point, it barfed everything up. Or had a giant heartburn attack, I'm not sure which.
who the fuck believes in anything "real" any more

Hoooooooold, Hoooooooold, Hoooooooold, Hoooooooooooooooooold! Sell!
You do look a little blue in the face.
Your recovery is your recovery and my recovery is my recovery............Economic Relativism, bitchez.
I hereby mandate you shall pay for my recovery no matter what your religious beliefs may be.

Green shootz.
$20 K DOW, $20 K GOLD, $200 CONDOMS, $200 PANTYLINERS.................That's what's next ! Monedas 2012 "Think the worst and you will find the truth !"....Mexican Proverb !
"Monedas 2012"
Nope, I'm voting for Kito. I heard he's promising to let people buy beer with foodstamps.
KITO 2012 SNAP BEER!
I'm calling it.
DOW 100,000
You were definately the first. lol.
Hey CNBC, give me a job, I'm ready coach!
"Dow soaring to 100,000? You heard it first on CNBC!"
Dow 13k hats! Get 'em while they're hot!!
It'll probably get to 14K until shits hits the fan.
I mean, the DOW is at 13K, yet we have U3 at around 8.3% (9% accordign to a GALLUP poll) and U6 at 15.2%.
We've never had such great corporate profits. We've never been more productive in our labor. But yet we haven't had this much debt and our wages haven't risen one inch.
Huh?
get the dow to 20k then raid everyones 401k/ IRA/ Money Market/ Bonds/ Treasuries just so the only place to go to get any $ is the gubmint or the gubmint owned/ controlled banks.

Remeber it's the Chicago way.
What about gold mining stocks in real terms ... PERPLEXING !!
Do these fkers really believe dow 13k means cheap food and gas??
John Williams of Shadowstats says real inflation has been greater than 10% for the last two years, which just shows how effectively the MSM and the central planning propaganda machine can hide the truth. Double digit inflation is huge. Won´t take long now.
Killing the currency and access to energy is national suicide yet this is the course chosen for us by the clever ones in charge. I have lots of physical but I only feel morbid relief. It´s going to be like hearing the screams from the safety of a Titanic lifeboat as the music fades into darkness.
"Killing the currency and access to energy is national suicide yet this is the course chosen for us by the clever ones in charge."
That's the cost of growth. They (and we) have been playing the game. Nature's calling the game: A Hard Rain is gonna fall...
excellent, short and sweet.....gold is your northern star although the clouds of politburo pricing cause it to disappear at times....however, you can assume under current manipulation that gold is way under priced....
Gold is gold. It is what it is. It's FIAT that's capable of having the attribute of being under/over-priced.

"Its a cold breezy day on Wall Street..."
Just wait for QE infinity, as no Gov are going to pay zilch>> crack up boom, currency collapse, war of course,, Gold to the MOON
Did someone forward this to Roubini yet? Asshole.
Maybe relay it through RM? I heard they were buddies...
The thing I never understand is why gold? Why not platinum, silver, or any other asset? Can you price the DOW in terms of average asset price (in case gold is actually in a bubble...)?
Because historically it is currency.
Twinkies!
How much "wealth" do you have? With enough I'm sure that you could have a successful marketing campaign that would allow you to establish the next "currency." Of course, doing so would likely result in depleting your wealth. Maybe better off exchanging your fiat for gold rather than platinum (or Twinkies) AND marketing?
Gold's role in financial transactions is based on a multi millenia experience and the qualities of a material which make it very suitable for such use: It does not oxidize, it is easily assessable in term of its purity (search the term "touch stone" to read the history of how gold was assayed before chemical alaysis, its divisible without altering its properties, etc.
Platinum was not isolated as an element until some time in the 1800's, so was not known.
Silver was used, but is not readily assessible in terms of its purity. IE - the color does not change rapidly when mixing with other metals. And in fact mining and refining silver was more difficult that gold because gold generally was found as free metal in gravel or sand, where as silver mainly has to be refined from ore.
In a deflationary world what is more valuable gold or FRN (cash)?
If DOW Transportation is a Market Leader, then According to the 4h chart, we are testing the Neckline of the reversal pattern H/S.

Soon it will be time to brush up on the use of scientific notation.
DOW/Gold ratio is 7.5 and I expect it to drop to 2 or less. Also expect Gold/oil ratio to hew within its historical 7 to 15 range. If the hyperinflation gets going you can expect these ratios to be your guide.
"ratio to hew within its historical"
HA HA HA HA... Another person who thinks that this is just another cycle. HA HA HA...
