MarketWatch Goes Full Propaganda Retard
Earlier we noted that the record lottery jackpot is nothing but a gimmick to get "the poor" to part with what little wealth they have. As it turns out, we should have also added "the stupid", something which MarketWatch has, however, figured out, and in a blatant attempt to ride on the Mega Millions histeria, and to get the the full blown stock market ponzi up and running, the WSJ sister publication is now petitioning everyone to please understand that playing the lottery and participating in a broken, fraudulent and corrupt stock market, are both one and the same: "You have to play to win." We must thank MarketWatch for implicitly pointing out that winning in the centrally planned stock ponzi scheme, in which every trade is frontrun by either a major bank or a millisecond algo, has the same 1 in 100,000,000+ odds as winning the lottery, roughly the same as coming out of Bernie Madoff Asset Management with all your cash intact.
From the MW front page.
And if anyone is wondering why the propaganda has gone full retard, the reason is simple. Recall that 10 days ago we said:
In the latest week, ICI just reported that domestic equity retail funds just saw another $2.9 billion outflow, the 4th consecutive in a row, and the 23 of out 27 outflows during the entire parabolic blow off top phase the market has undergone since October, and instead put another $9 billion in fixed income funds "soaring" yields be damned. What does this mean? Probably that the stock ramp is about to get uber-parabolic for the simple reason that this is the only thing left in the status quo's arsenal - to keep doing the same old same old, hoping for a different outcome, because this time it's different. Only this time the dumb money either doesn't have the cash to burn, or just doesn't want to participate in a rigged, corrupt, centrally-planned market.
Yup - the banks are so loaded up with toxic stocks that they have NO CHOICE but to keep the ramp accelerating higher and higher until "stupid" retail comes back in and distribution happens, leaving the retail investor holding the hollow bag again. Alas, there were no inflows this week either. Which means that just like Italian banks, the meltup could well accelerate even more from here.
Sadly, retail just doesn't care any more. And once the Primary Dealers and hedge funds realize they have all gone Wile Coyote over the cliff well... gravity ensues.

Whatever happened to cheat to win?!?
Refusing to play is an act of terrorism.
Someone once told me gambling is a tax on people that can't do math......I thought about it a bit and decided he was right.
I then went and bought some gold.....that was a really long time ago.
And .... like the lottery we know only a few players win (the banksters). The rest lose.
The movie Syriana had a great line in it:
"Corruption keeps us safe and warm. Corruption, is why you and I are prancing around in here instead of fighting for scraps of meat out on the streets. Corruption....is why we win."
But he is a man of the year.

FACEBOOK CREATED BY DOUCHEBAGS FOR DOUCHEBAGS, EXCLUSIVELY.
AND MARKETWATCH JUST PLAYED THEMSELVES SO HARD EQUATING THE STOCK MARKET TO THE LOTTERY -- WHAT A BUNCH OF USELESS FUCKTARDS!
Accidental honesty - can't afford that now. Silence that fool.
Actually on further consideration at least with lottery they don't hand your money to a croney when going bancrupt then walk away free - it seems better regulated.
That MarketWatch headline and story was so full-retard, I fully expected to see that the author's name underneath it was "RobotTrader".
I still have an account on Market Wash since 2007. I could write a book on all the shit that went behind the scenes. Back in the day, I was a wrath of hell in connecting our end game. Yet, MW never deleted my account. Why? Because MW was able to see me assist on clamping down on insider trading rings. How did Market Wash know? They read my private emails sent from officials asking me questions. Shortly after, the site became a parlor pinko-- <delete all member accounts>. I lost a large percentage of inner circle MW friends.
In search of another financial site, I stumbled across Zerohedge [old blog] website. Life brings many treasures, without MW actions.. I would still be stagnated on an illusion that I knew didn’t exist.
Keep up the good work ZH members!
Somewhere a MarketWatch columnist is trying to shoehorn "Apple," "Mega Millions," "Trayvon," and "Facebook" into the same headline.
Careless whisper?
Was George Michael talking about the cash equities market and the retail investor?
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth, pain is that all you'll find
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay
What do you mean, Apple isn't going to own China and Pandora, Groupon, Zipcar, Facebook, LinkedIn and Amazon are overvalued?
"Hello Dr. Bernanke, would you like to play a game?
What a strange game, the only winning move is not to play"
The Bernank and the Morgue sure as hell don't want the retail crowd to divert their remaining wealth into phyzz either, with all the manipulation going on. Well FU Ben, my 71 year old Mom finally deep sixed her mutual fund and just picked up her first monster box because she knows your going to print billions out of thin air again real soon.
Can she call my parents?
Mine as well..... especially since I still live with mine.
Tell her to be carefule if she goes boating. There's been a lot of accidents going around.
MW is a lightweight site -- ruled by the fart-mouthed AmericanPatriot.
AmericanPatriot can lick my boots.
I haven't followed it in 2 years, he's still around? Gold hatin'?
AmericanPatriot !!
Now that's a troll for you! He argued that gold would go back to 400 a few years back and he's still there. Not like my colleagues here like Travis and the money bag guy, or JonnyBravo
He's still there spouting the same comments on gold reverting "to its mean historical price" of $400.
you mean it's historical means of $456...
AP makes it very specific, as to somehow make it a bit more credible.
American Patriot...
Hater of gold, lover of fiat, California, and BMW's.
I kind of get the sense that he might be Ben Stein.
>>"THE ONLY WAY TO WIN IS NOT TO PLAY"<<
AMEN!!
Or, as WOPR said regarding thermonuclear war: "Strange game. The only winning move is not to play"
NEVER go full retard.
Just Say No.
As opposed to, "Hey thanks, man.."
Kind of harsh vis a vi retards.
YOU CAN'T WIN

but if enough of the sheeple believe it, then......
AND....they were paid to say it by the same banks that we bailed out.
how do you paste a picture in your comment around here?
If you have to ask... you can't do it. Sorry brew.
Eactly what I thought when I saw that piece of shit on MW. Exactly.
That is the sign of a top
Martin has the top out a few years.
http://www.inflateordie.com/files/Pi%2003-14-2012.pdf
A few YEARS? Gas .50 cents higher blows this jalopy to pieces. And thats in a few weeks tops.
The capital has to flow somewhere. Happy belated PI day.
**edit** He has the US markets topping in a few years. He has Europe going to shit in June/July of this year.
The goal of the banksters in the next 6 months is to 1) hand the bag to retail, 2) jack up gas prices to kill the economy, crash the market and get Obama out of office.
My money is on the banksters.
Hate to say it, but you may be right. Sometimes the most obvious explanation is correct, especially when you have elliminated all the other possibilities (at great cost to the taxpayer). I certainly bet on the devils we know at the begining of the year and am selling now.
Can't get Obama out of office until you have another ace in the hole "sock puppet"...
When Romney gets his delegate count, the market will tank... Happened in 2008 as well (market sold off as soon as Obama won the North Carolina primary (in May) to put him over the top in delegate count...
Shit this market is done this year. They can melt it up all they want but pretty soon the margin calls are coming.
Martin definitely has done some very interesting work. But the difference between then and now is the debt saturation. I think that speeds up either deflationary depression or hypinflationary collapse, or some combo of both as TPTB scramble to protect their (stolen) bounty during and after the RESET.
I think I just saw a smile from Edward Bernays...
Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Fool me three times shame on the politicians. Fool me four times shame on the banks. Fool me five times shame on Iran. Fool me....
More of the Friday Follies! Have another drink, before you get a lottery ticket, sucker.

I'm hoping to find the winning lottery ticket, rather than buy it. I figure the odds of winning aren't much different either way.
Me too. And I live in Utah.
Where are all the muppets when you need them?
All in on appl as of today...riding this baby into the 4 figures
The parasites have f'ed up...they've killed their hosts.
that really is all lloyd doesn't understand.
I'll buy when the next crash happens. Meh.
Lets see, no one would buy at DOW 8,000, 9,000, 10,000, 11 or 12,000... but 13,300 and DAMN now all the retail will PILE IN surely!!
Yea I MIGHT buy stocks again if we go -45% lower from these stupid levels. Maybe.
Sheep I have never heard you sound so bullish
I MIGHT only buy if this crap fell -50% from here, JUST for the dead cat bounce then I'd be right out again! Then I'd only do that if I had been drinking heavily.
Wax on, wax off...

If everyone buys as it rallies, who do they plan on selling to in order to collect those "massive" paper profits
Indeed, who the hell do they imagine theyll be selling to higher on a zero volume FED melt up? I wouldnt want any of these stocks if they were handing them out for free!
Damn month end markup again as fund managers are throwing every red cent remaining in their accounts into stocks
WTF are the investigations by the SEC?
The SEC is part of the government, BrokeDayTrader. And, as the right-wing wanted, as a part of the government, it became run more like a business.
Hasn't that worked out great?
I marked you with a down arrow as you acutally believe there is a difference between the left side and the ride side of the political nostril. You can pick a booger out of both sides quite regularly. Just dig in to see.
I junked you for suggesting that a bunch of overpaid porn-surfers sucking on the taxpayer teat are in any way whatsoever "run more like a business". Fucking retard!
The "business" of government is theft and cover-up.
LMAO even I cant believe the complete depravity of these stock market pirates! Whats next, 'If you buy a stock today, you get a number for a drawing for a free prize to be given away every 10 minutes during market hours'!
Nah, I'll bet your going to start seeing the sob stories and puppy eyes on CNBC of the poor traders with 8 kids and a mortgage being laid off, the roach coach driver parked outside Wall Street moaning about the lack of sales and the business apparel shop singing the blues...all because the retail investers no longer buys stocks anymore. If only fellow Americans, patriotic caring Americans, would just buy only a few stocks (start violin track), these jobs could be saved.
CNBC then bills the Morgue for the entire sob story.
I have predicted the winner and it is Jon Corzine.
Thanks for the inside tip - what's his ticker?
I/m guessing-SHT.
He no longer has one. Dick Cheney has it!

Wow. Such completely overt cheerleading. Ominous.
CNN
MarketWatch
Bloomberg
FOX
MSNBC
WSJ
Every single mainstream media outlet cheeleads and carries the water for the equity markets. Each of these outlets wants stocks to rise, no matter their "political" leanings.
Because - in the end, whether they are "Republican" or "Democrat" - all of these media outlets share one common thread:
They are businesses, and rising equity prices are good for business.
The corporate state marches on, all the while successfully convincing Idiot Amerikkkans that what we have under Obama and Chairman Ben is "socialism" or "communism".
Pointless commentary over.

check this special on the media
Yep i ranted on my blog earlier hehe
Anywhere you look it's lottery mania, "Record jackpot", "half a billion dollars". Right now there are tens of millions of people in America suffering under the burden of poverty thrown on them by a system of quasi capitalism (some would say croni) that only benefits the sludge that's risen to the surface.
There's no bailout for Average Joe, lowering his head and swiping a SNAP card.
Yet here is the news, promising them riches if only they buy a couple tickets for the chance.
Truth is, we're all lobsters boiling in the pot.
The lottery is a "tax on stupidity". So is the current stock market.

waiting for the big ramp up to close...AAPL wobbly today hmmm...man they are really desperate to pawn that off on the sheeple.
As soon as they offload Facebook, I think the fun starts.
If they can keep it blown up that long.
Everybody knows you never go full retard
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why the MSM has zero credibility.
At least with lottery tickets, you actually get a certificate...just sayin...
Tyler you guys are SO spot-on. I thought the same exact thing when I saw this on MW earlier today. MW is worse than Cramer.

When people like this are the 'heavyweights' and the 'moguls' you know your society is fucked.
You have to Play to Lose!!
I must respectfully disagree with the many that see the markets as a better place to make money, verses the lotto..... I feel that the lotto probably has better odds than the general stock/bond markets.... and the downside risks are no more than the price of a ticket verses a huge portfolio balance...... I thru in my 10 bucks to the local pool yesterday just in case we have a winning ticket, oh yawn .....
I reject your reality and substitute it with my own.
I'm short big the glam stocks: AAPL, GOOG, PCLN
That's gonna be my lottery ticket payoff this year
Can't wait until 250 hedgies decide to sneak out the back door on these overpriced POS names
I'd say AAPL is just about toast as far as momentum goes. Next quarter is going to be interesting.
Listen up people!
The banks have used all their capital in a low volume melt up, desperately trying to get you onboard. They have received help from Ben and others by destroying the bond market. They have successfully managed the precious metal markets. Thus, you have no other options, but to buy stocks. We are waiting for your greed to overwhelm your caution. We have the media on a full court press.
Unfortunately, before we sell the top and call in capital to crash the market, so we can transfer all your wealth, we need your participation. Otherwise, we have to continue to print, so we can maintain the status quo, but we are losing patience. Don't make us start a global war!!!
Start one, I double dog dare you. Possession is already the law, what the hell, let's find out precisely what the value of everyone's labor really is. Let's get physical.
PLEASE retail come BUY these stocks from us! Hell its BETTER than the Power Ball! EZ Riches, bitches!
What a nice little tune the Wurlitzer is playing... Crash in 5,4,3,2...As you would say in GO , this formation is DEAD yet the idiots havent figured it out and keep adding stones...
S&P 1408.15 +4.87
Like the lottery the tickets are worth face value before the numbers are called. After the call almost all are worthless.
Think about guys, with the payout now over 600 millon you could buy all the possible number combinations ~325 million and still make money when you won. It takes money to make money after all.
LawsofPhysics said:
...unless the guy in Centerville trailer park and the family living in their car in Scottsdale each come up with the winning number as well.
How true that is. Besides, if you spent 325 million on lottery tickets and still lost money because you had to split the winnings, Timmah Jeethner and the Bernank would arrange a bailout for you.
Thats before the taxes.
saw it on MW : disturbing propaganda shit, makes u almost wish the SHTF moment will be sooner...
Well, if your balloon has a hole you just have to blow harder...
That's what she said.
But but but ... ALL balloons have at least one hole.
sounds like a Buddhist saying...
I thought retail's all in. No retail except poor loser me on the sideline???
the lottery is just another way to tax you and make you like it.
Don't forget the "excitement" of waiting a few days for the lottery draw to see if you won. And when you don't win that day simply rinse, repeat. What's not to like?
MW is a site for disinformation owned by jewish cheaters - the only purpose of this site is to help to the Wall Street jewish gang to rob America
The message board of the MW is more manipulative than the Cosco customer feedback board – Jewish team of moderators delete everything which contradict to their jewish inferiority complex and to the Wall Street propaganda line
I'm not Jewish, but your childish ignorant rant is stupid. Go to Media Matters to spew your shit ahole.
Media Matters?
The Soros (Hungarian Jew) mouthpiece? Hahaha... You are funny.
You are in need of Seroquel.
See you physican real soon.
I wish the Wile Coyote analogy was true. I would love to see the counterfiting TBTF banks fall back to earth. Unfortnately they are not going over a cliff, they are walking the plank, held up by the central banks and US government. As long as CBs and Obama support them, they have nothing to worry about. S&P to the moon!
On the positive side, Market Watch is the reason to be reading ZH full time...
I agree. When it comes to actually getting a "slap your momma" assessment of the financials - this be the place.
'The banks are so loaded with toxic stocks that they have NO CHOICE but to keep the ramp going until stupid retail comes back in and they can distribute'...
Huh, seems I got this right over 2 years ago, theyll hold the biggest rally ever to get retail back in, and it will NEVER happen, because retail is dead broke!
Go ahead, pump it to 15,000, see if retail pays more than they wont pay now, IDIOTS!
+1 for the dead broke.
I had a comment to post but yours states it better anyway.
Let us drink to the future video of bankers splattering like the turkeys on WKRP.

LOL !
Yeah!...But, I still want to believe in "santa claus"!...Nothing but good dreams all week!!
Escape, from the ever present reality, of CRIMINALS!...ONLY FIAT!!
Great post. Really sums it up nicely.
They're giving investors the option to play it all on double zero for a shot 1 in 38 shot of not retiring in poverty. And you just know the one who wins will be publicized and championed in every possible way, as if to say, "see he did it, you can too".
It’s kind of like giving a woman the option of getting raped or beaten.
And when nobody falls for this obvious brutality there’s always the high ground approach; “the lottery pays for education, it’s good for the children”.
Mother F'rs! Play to Win! Yeah, so bust your ass at a dead end (or dying) job, scrimp and save to pay the bills...and.. then take the extra 50 cents and "play" in the stock market so our stockbroker and investment bank friends can pump it then dump their shares... welcome back "retail investor" you've (your money that is) been missed! (Suckers!)
if retail money is staying out of the market, maybe they will bubble up the stocks some more to entice the sheep.. maybe its a good time to ride the wave up before retail money flows in.
Seriously. Just play craps.
"Mother-Watch" has turned into an INSANE asylum of Trolls, Klones and Liberal "Blame Monsters" that nearly 50 of us have left and started our own PRIVATE BLOG, "Marketwatchsux" at WordPress.
The writers (certainly NOT Journalists) are doing anything possible to carry the Obama Administratrions water at ALL COSTS. The TRUTH be DAMNED.
Darrell Delamaide, Thomas "The World's Eco problems are America's Guilt Trip" Kostigen, Senior Editor David "I'll morph a parking ticket into a gun control argument" Callaway and others have reduced the credibility of Marketwatch by a geometric progression.
At least Rex Nutting makes a legitimate argument to support his Leftist positions.
They have "auto-refresh pages" (increasing their web traffic for advertisers) and are desperate to glean anything they can. Take an UNSUPPORTABLE position just to rile people into respondng, and, VIOLA !!. WEB traffic. MW is now in the class of any leftist BLOG, aka, "The Jokington Post".
The Site is constantly under "suppression" and censorship for simple, innane, innocuous comments, asking someone (i.e; a Monnbat poster) to SUPPORT their POSITION with FACTS. Oooops. Sorry. Deleted comments, deleted accounts.
Marketwatch SUCKS.
"Win? Yes we con!" - Your local primary fucker err dealer.
Well they got me pumped to buy 3 tickets. What would I do with the Money? Well, I guess I would pay off everyone in the immediate familys debt. Set up Money for Grandchildrens education. After that I do not think I would change my lifestyle that much. I might consider opening a Homeless Shelter with the remaining Money. Would also love to buy a Farm and take in Shelter Animals so they would not be killed. Caring for the Animals would keep me happy for the rest of my days.
That last part is exactly what I'd do...
