Here Is Why The Dow Just Passed 13,000
Wondering why the DJIA just passed 13K again? Wonder no more: as the chart below shows it is entirely due to the nearly $7 trillion pumped by global central banks into the world stock markets just in the past 4 years. As Sean Corrigan from Diapason notes, the aggregate global central bank balance sheet has doubled in four years, after doubling in the 5 years before that. We would add that with the entire centrally planned ponzi scheme hell bent on preserving the illusion of nominal gains, global liquidity is now fungibly sloshing from one market to another with absolutely zero resistance whatsoever. At this rate, it should double again in 3 years, then 2, and so on. Will the Dow hit 52K in 5 years in that case? Why most certainly. Just ask any remaining citizens of the Weimar Republic. They know all too well about exponential stock market rises. They also know absolutely everything about the self-delusion that comes with chasing NOMINAL numbers. Oh, and before we forget, expressed in spot gold price, the central bank aggregate tally has moved from being the equivalent of 10 billion oz of gold, to just 8 billion. Guess what is 20% underpriced.

This just in from CNBC... Aren't you worried you're missing out here? Folks... 13K, you all ought to get in on this... Anyone... Bueller...
When Hemingway was asked how you go broke, he answerd - "In two ways: gradually, then suddenly."
It's at least 20%...
What's 20% of infinite again?
Transitory math.
In other news, somebody's managed to sweep 2B oz. of gold out of the CBs. Not bad work, if you can get it. (well, assuming it's not tungsten)
Speaking of CB's, anyone notice the recent flurry of bankster and CB persona resignations?

Doesn't really matter if that is the cause. The only thing Central Banks can do at this point is continue to PRINT!!! They have to... They will continue to print, and markets will continue to inflate and rise...
The "old rules" of valuation and fundamentals don't apply any more.
Tough for bonds to go much lower... This "money" has to go somewhere.
Inflation is responsible for all our problems. We’re running on a treadmill that’s set to fast. OK I understand that as GDP expands the money supply needs to be adjusted or we experience deflation but give me a fucking break! The fat cats that have their hands on the monetary throttle have been using our livelihood to bail out their bad bets. My dad raised a family of eight on manual labor job and as inflation ate away at the value of the dollar my mom eventually had to get a job to make ends meet. Its inflation that doubled the work force while all the jobs got outsourced! What the fuck gives them the right to inflate the money we use to save. The Euro wasn’t my one world order idea! That pipe dream was created as a counterfeit union with the big banks juggling the paperwork for the PIIGS so they could falsely join. Sounds like a setup by the big banks to destroy the Euro’ So the answer is inflating away the dept, without increasing wages? Sure I understand, TPTB want their evil doings that didn’t work to come out of our ass! They will never let Greece go
It no longer matters WTH is going on. Make money from it. Play the ponzi game with stocks and keep stacking. We can't fight this magic trick. We must play along and try to profit/protect ourselves from the end result.
LB, yup, it's workin for me, but it's a lot of work...thinking about an honest job again, frankly.
To hell with all forms of fiat.
13 is a lucky number.
Isn't it?
Being a Jew (not a Zionist!) yeah itz a great number, 13 moons and all that!
badabing, without the euro we would now have a huge speculation field in the eurozone currencies, with the northern ones so overvalued to throttle all trade and the southern ones so undervalued to kill all trade, too... witness the Swiss and the Greeks
yes, there is a lot of anger without a punching ball - but short of waiting until we pass from a Fiat Reserve Currency System that we have since 1971 to something else, there is little option. ok, we could in theory just use the USD, yes, but this would ruffle many national feathers...
buy gold if you want to save and wait - and don't believe this euro-one-world-order idiocy from the US, it's all propaganda
You will never get ahead working to feed bankers. So long as rampant theft is allowed to continue, the money supply increase must exceed the rate of stealing.
Thanks for the link mrgneiss about the Bankster rats jumping ship.
Very interesting.
For some reason my National Radio station has not mentioned this yet.
I'm sure they will though......Sarc/

20% of infinity? why, the bonus of the financial elite and sledge funds.
I remember back in 2010 Mar Faber was talking how the Dow could surpass 20,000 but with no recovery.
This is basically the same thing.
No Recovery, pretty simple clear - http://www.dailyjobcuts.com
The idea that the Dow shows the health of the economy is, well an old myth.
Ponzinomics.
"Okay, Sweathogs. For extra credit: why did the Dow just hit thirteen thousand ?"
"Ooo ! Ooo ! Mister Kotter ! Mister Kotter ! Because Melissa Lee is wearing her lucky red dress ? Makes as much sense as anything else !"

Would now be a good time to rack up as much debt at near 0% as possible?
Seriously... I'm wondering the same.
The only way to protect yourself is with silver bullets. How the hell else you gonna kill vampires when the come to suck you dry
wait...THEY HAVE THOSE FUCKING HATS ON AGAIN FROM 1999??
"when the music's over...TURN OUT THE LIGHTS!"
So the bankers are more rich in fantasyland....hey whatever! Good luck to everyone else who isnt a central bankster though, $5 gas is a bitch when youre broke.
Folks... 13K, you all ought to get in on this...
i've been hammering away on this theme in many of my comments. USD has lost 1/3 of it's value since 2008, 40% since 2007.
2007 14,000 high would be 23,300 in today's devalued dollars.
13,000 is 55.8% of the 2007 high. So it's still down 44%.
I understand stock traders don't like hearing this. They wana believe they're making money again.
But they're still way below where they were in 2007, and have a long way to go just to break even.
No, you're wrong; it's got something to do with "Greek debt hopes".
At least if you smoke Marketwatch hopium.
Just.....moved my stops up.......I trust this market as much as a hungry wolf with a open hen house door....
Do those stops work at 6:00 AM?
Printer ink is definately under priced!
So ze Xerox Printers.
wait:
Let's make a deal
So does this means every Central Bank in the world is locking its populations into an almighty death roll? Is there any return? Are they crashing all of us on purpose?
yes. same as it ever was. Wake me up when the jubilee starts.
Weimerica marches on.
Dow spelled backwards is Wod. Wad. Whatever.
Please. Let us not disrespect the memory of the great John Holmes by mixing his nickname with that of Ponzi banksters.
exponential equations are a bitch.
Looks like we're gonna have to kill Osama Bin Laden again real soon.
CTRL + P.
gold knows what's up
There it is again, 9MM+P
you all can have your gold.......i am sticking with and stacking silver forever
Give That Man A Bells!
But, it seems so peaceful out there. Things are improving and stuff... no?
I heard maria Bartiromo is going to flash her hooters today in support of Fat Tuesday and the fact that the DOW has passed 13K.
ok. that'll get me to tune in.
but if she doesn't i'm holding you responsible for jack's bitter disappointment.
I bet she gives great head with those lips.
I mean, how ELSE did she get that job?
Can someone page Ron Jeremy?
Based on the chart, Gold is horibly under priced..
but, we already knew that.
Anyone catch Cramer on GMA this morning? Made me want to throw my dog through the TV.
Your dog would likely appreciate the interruption.
Calm down, Governor Romney.
DJIA just passed 13K again? I think we been here before, same shit different day/month/year
Dow : Gold 1:1 soon
GOLD AT 1750 VERY CHEAP,,BUY,,BUY, BUY
One Gold Coin a Day keeps the Bankers away
$1750 a day is not an easy thig to do........$34 a day however , very easy to do
Even more sickening is when you realize that all of this new money goes right to the banksters and the other crony-capitalists seeking rent, such as all of those "patriotic" defense contractors. Then they use it to claim title to all real property as the previous holders fail in maintaining enough liquidity to service the debt while paying for such luxuries as food.
Meanwhile, gas only went up a nickel today... so far.
Bingo
And let's not forget their enforcers in DC, the city which seems to be growing faster than any developing economy abroad...
DING... DING... DING... We have a winner.
The Cash Cow is stabled in DC. The ponzi must be protected. As ZH pointed out yesterday, the finacial return on campaign contributions is OUTSTANDING.
And, see here: http://money.msn.com/family-money/the-richest-counties-in-america
10 of the nation's 15 wealthiest counties are outside DC. Coincidence? /rhetorical
The first border fence we put up should be around DC, then we'll worry about Mexico!
"Food as a luxury" lolz
I can see it now,
"Next week on 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous 2020', hosted by Ryan Seacrest: Ryan heads on over to his pal Kim Kardashian's house to check out her gold plated Water Cooler, and then sees Jaime Dimon eating "old school" with a delicious Cheeseburger!"
BTW, average incomes for VA/MD districts that surround DC - $103K. Most are in the cybersecurity/counter intelligence business.
Yet they are laying off postal workers.
Yeah, the government's not corrupt.
So what are the central banks going to do with all of their stock? Nothing benign I am sure. Keep in mind that PBOC is the leader of the pack in this stock grab.
Uncle Ben says inflation is under control. Check out all the freshly printed money chasing the dow (not to mention food and energy). Just sayin'...
so, now we know: Uncle Ben's rise - it's what's for dinner

Don't let the bears fool you, this market is extremely bullish right now. Dow will be at 100,000 by June.
At least. And bread $500/loaf

Jim Cramer is all three rolled into one.
Awesome news! When are we going to get a raise?
Wait, my taxes got raised.
Huh?
You get a 5% raise for every 50% debasement in the purchasing power of the dollar. Ok?
Can someone explain how this means gold is 20% underpriced? If the aggregate CB balance sheets used to be equivalent to 10 billion ounces of gold and now are equivalent to just 8 billion ounces of gold... doesn't that imply that gold is overpriced by 25%?
For the record, I'm not saying gold is in fact overpriced - I'm just not following the argument presented here.
Don't let math and logic get in the way of a good story.
Don't let an equal sign deter either of you from understanding that the price of gold per oz is a metric for valuing all other assets, for leasing and loaning, that's the implicit assumption Tyler makes. Gold does not float on paper. Repeat. Gold does not float on paper.
Easy there tiger. Your gold price today has nothing to do with physical. Neither has the man's question affected gold's dignity. It was just nit-picking for God's sake. Relax!
It's not a nit pick. I somewhat agree in that the fizz and the spot price have 500,000 invisible flywheels operating along the belts that join them.
I say it's not a nit pick because gold is not an asset that anyone could write down the price of on a balance sheet without very conspicuously admitting market manipulation, which is what CBs have been loathe to do. CFTC "investigation" into silver in its fourth year. THey will not even whiff of a suggestion of admission until they are ready to ignite the solid fuel boosters on the price, and that's only after they've sucked the inflation teets dry.
And, you relax yourself TIGER CUB. There's a beaver by a lake who adorns his lodge with the ingots I fumbled into said lake years ago. It's very important to the beaver, that the beaver understands which way the price will go and precisely why. Whole generations of beavers - and by reading this blog, there are many beavers finding many shiny objects on lake bottoms around this great land - depend on correctly appraising the situation.
+25% vs -25% is hardly a nit pick. If the man stands behind his math maybe he should defend it.
If we are pricing things in gold and not dollars/fiat currencies, then the implication is that central banks have in fact contracted their balance sheets by 20% (priced in gold) since 1999, and need to expand them by another 25% to keep up.
But wouldn't a further expansion of the balance sheet just lead to an increase in the fiat price of gold (or, if you insist, a decrease in the value of fiat currency measured in gold), meaning that even more balance sheet expansion would be necessary to maintain balance sheets steady relative to 1999?
Which brings up another question - why is 1999 the reference year? The economy was hardly stable or healthy then, either.
Just sayin.
Yes.
If you assume the balance sheet quality to be unchanged, that would be correct.
Wait... I don't get it. It's been all along saying HFT pushing the market up and squeeze the shit out of the shorts. Now, it is saying CB buying the market up. What is the real deal ?
Is the market volume getting thinner and thinner ? If so, CB's are still buying ? I thought no one is buying, it is only the robot working hard right now.
How about CB providing copious "almost-free" money fueling the overnight lending needed for leverage so HFT can do their best. Does that make sense to you?
I love silver.
Does silver know?
LOL We don't talk much... so I suppose it will remain a mystery.
I hope you're not thinking of kidnapping and hiding silver in a dark spot either, right? Or worse, buying and enslaving silver?
LOL I don't have a black heart BlackSea.
Touche monsieur. Although it's Sea not Heart and it should be gold not black.
LOL I Sea clearly now.
OK --1750 A MONTH, 34 a day,, agreed
Bought Gold $ 300 in 2004, Silver $5, not long to go before I retire to Punta Del Este, or Algarve,( when they bring Escudos Back)

CNBC licks government hole !
Last time this happened was May 2008, unemployment was around 5% and the media propagandists were talking about how afwul the economy was because of Bush, and how the rise in the Dow only benefited greedy capitalist pigs.
Exactly! Now this time, the greedy insane banker pigs are the national heros!
We'll see how everyone feels when gas spikes to $5.50 one morning soon.
This is all just a cheezy Chris Angel illusion show to keeps the morons placated....wont last long at all.
And there goes my 60 year old neighbor walking around waiting for me to come out of my house so he can tell me everything is fixed and I was wrong. I am so glad he can continue golfing 3 times a week so I can pay for the greed of his generation.
Man,
You're going to have a nice cheap set of golf clubs when the SHTF and he has to sell them to buy food. Remind him that everything is fixed at that time.
...that chart, and the proven historic reality of it, defines the image of the currency beast and the mark of debt upon labor, which is realized when the beast become the consumer, err is it unbecoming the consumer? LMAO
Who would buy sell or trade this fallen market?
Who the hell would continue to provide labor for a BLACK HOLE?
WHAT GOVERMENT ON EARTH WOULD TRY TO TEMPT THE WORLD WITH THIS BULLSHIT?
WHO THE HELL WOULD EVEN TRY TO SELL THIS SHIT PAPER?

We are unlike Europeans in that instead of rioting in the streets, we'll just sit home on the couch and say fuck it!
We are last. Why should we complain, what austerity have we had here? We're not even close to where europeans are right now in terms of being pissed off.
We'll see what happens when gas pops over $5 avg one morning soon.
But yea, for now I am saying 'fuck it', Ive been seeing this coming forever and am prepared, best I can be anyway. Let the moron consumersheeple take as many bullets as possible.
Offtheradar, the people that are on the couch are doing fine. It's the people that are dumb enough to go work for the beast; this offer of temptation from the Suicide Vampire Squid of the Great Wal Mart of China and Chairsatan saying ''accept the mark of the beast and you shall not surely perish'', then the fools come back to their kick me in the Fannie Mae cage and sit their dusty asses in some chair made in china. The morons turn on the ''program'' and cheer DOW 13000. UNBELIEVABLE!!! At least the ones that never get up and go to work for this pile of shit may have a clue but, they are certainly not actively sacrificing children upon the alter of this pathetic new world order beast.
The dow went from 7000 back in early 2009 to 13000 in early 2012. That's almost double in four years! Because our economy is sooo healthy right?? MSM bitchez are orgasming all over eachother over this when in fact they should be warning that anyone not diversfed out of this ponzi market is about to get dumped on.
Some red head BAC Bitch just saying on BloomMountain "don't go short this market right now, so many more in cash on the side lines..." , well HONEY there is a reason for that pile of cash, eh!
The true economy doesn't improve w/ crude over $85/bbl
It's not the gold is underpriced as the article states.
Gold is "controlled" by the manipulators.
The USA Sec Tres. has an account called the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF)
This fund is largely used to manipulate gold prices lower.
Your goverment not only steals your fiat currency through inflation,they also do not fully allow you to protect your savings in gold and silve either.
You want a good read,learn about the USA Exchnge Stabilization Fund.
Go to their Gov site and go into the books for the ESF ,and International Foriegn Reserves.
Ps...Fuck You Timmy you fucking little weasel.

Take care zh all this euphoria is hitting hyper speed daily at least from now on. Uh oh
Today was too damn stupid to watch sooo eager no recent memory kicks in whatsoever.
TOTALLY CORRECT!! Also considering something like 5 BILLION ounces of gold in the world, given or taken, gold needs to appreciate another 60% just to match the central banks' aggregate tally, under the assumption this last number remains now stable... which is totally absurd... LOL
not 60%; sorry, 37%, ie 3/8.
Do you REALLY wonder WTF is going on? "The Trust" has arrived...
Hi Tyler, I think that the PBOC balance sheet is accumulating securities for an entire different purpose. THere are probably quite a bit of Gov securities and other securities which are held back but do not conform to monetization strategy. Remember that the Yuan is not freely convertible so there is no international market for Yuan bonds. It seems to me that they keep those for when the other major currencies, GBP, EURO, YEN, USD (which by the way are the only one backing SDRs) have imploded. While being the biggest creditor Yuan is not part of the monetary system. So in fairness I WOULD NOT TREAT THE PBOC action as monetization, but firepower to replace the other fiat once they failed. The lack of internationalization of the Yuan is completely deliberate and very smart.
