Market Shocked By Recessionary PMI Print, Gold Pummeled, Apple Slides, FaceBerging Continues

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Down. ES is testing 1300. Gold pushing back down to $1550 (and the rest of the commodity complex plunging with WTI at $86.60), credit gapping wider, Treasury yields plunging to new records (10Y <1.57%!! and 30Y -20bps this week). FB -2.8%, AAPL -1.2% (down $12 from opening highs), MS -1.3%. JPY below its 200DMA

Gold vs 10Y TSY vs USD vs S&P 500

and commodities crushed as USD soars...

JPM is sure good at what they do.  What do they do again?  Are they a bank?  Or a Fed tool of manipulation?  Hmmmm.....

Preparations for the next QE are shaping up nicely.  Need a higher USD, lower commods, lower PMI, lower BLSBS......

"Gold down $400 shortly"

 

I'll take the other side of that bet.

But first, define "shortly"

And then, perhaps even more important, define "$400"

The Media hype machine gets louder by the day while everyone stresses over the gold price movement in dollars.

We happy few, we gold stacking few...

The rest are simply goldbricking the public.

Down = Stack.

But wait a while. A tenner here and there does not make gold move. More like a hundred here and hundreds there.

Paul, if you look at this as a geopolitical event rather than an accounting problem, the Euro and Gold is essentially a bet against Uncle Sam.

If the Euro implodes, Uncle Sam is the only game in town. Dollar goes way up and Gold eventually tanks and tanks hard.

Just saying.

When the Euro implodes, Uncle Sam will be the only game in town...until it implodes.  Then gold will stand alone.

Just sayin'.

The USD is on the same trajectory as the Euro...it's just the Euro has a head start.  To think otherwise is to not think at all.

Uncle Sam just lost East Asia to Uncle Yuan, Middle Asia to Uncle Au (quite SWIFTly I may add), and will soon lose Europe to the soon-to-be-sprung Uncle Mark and Uncle Franc.  He can keep playing games, though.

I'll take that bet, Uncle Sam is a terrorist and I will no longer support his murder, corruption and treachery. I will not invest in something simply because it returns a profit, it must have a solid honest foundation and bring benefits to the populus. I have a good feeling BRICS and NAMS are also taking that bet so I won't be alone.

P.S. I have nothing against honest hard working americans we're all in this together and we're all battling government corruption at the hands of central bankers.

MEANWHILE IN THE LEGION OF DOOM:

Mr. President, you have a choice to make. You can either have the stock market plunge which will piss off your biggest donors and guarantee you lose the election. Or you can give the green light for QEinfinity which will send the stock market soaring along with everything else and kill the dollar. By election day gasoline will be $14 a gallon and a gallon of milk will be $10 which may spark riots in the streets.

With QE your donors will be very happy and there is a very good chance we will be able to buy enough votes to give you a slight edge over Romney. You may be able to blame all the strife on the uncertainty of your re-election. You must start saying that if the polls were strongly in your favor, the economy would be far stronger. This may be enough to shift the blame of the crushing inflation on Romney. Remember accuse your accuser of doing what it is you are doing.

Ask yourself. Are you a president of the people, or the president we put in for us? We promised Zuckerberg he'd be a billionaire if he got us the personal information of a billion people. That little fuck might go public with what he knows.

They are selling the papers for good money.

When paper burns in a inferno and wipes out the entire theather, then the metals will take center stage.

By then, say a month or less from now, anyone in paper is shit and anyone in metals sitting good.

Remember...

The bank smiles at you and sometimes YOU smile at the bank.

So which is which?
