BERNANKE, YOU MOTHERFUCKER.....HELP !!!!

HP needs a stimulus package anyway...

Bernanke won't run QE3 before the US elections, that is now clear.

Gold traded at $1,631.90 by 11:07 a.m. today, for an annual gain of 4.2 percent. That compares with a 6.6 percent jump in the Standard & Poor’s GSCI gauge of 24 raw materials and a 9.7 percent increase in the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities. Treasuries lost 1.4 percent.

Everybody was betting on QE3 and India's return to the table. Both did not happen so far and the Bernank and the FED won't save Gold since they care more about job creation.

I will revel in victory!

Even better, look at the NASDAQ or any consumer index. Outrageous outperformance for tech toys and self-indulgence.

Brian Sack?

The PPT has run out of dry powder. Sack is fleeing and all they can do is support one market so they wisely chose the one that is most docile and most exposed to MSM propaganda.

I saw a great spoof of the old Smith Barney ad which had John Houseman pointing at a janitor busily sweeping away with the caption, "At Smith Barney we make money the old fashioned way: they earn it!"

UK's total debt forecast to hit £10 trillion by 2015 Britain's total debt will top £10 trillion by 2015, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers, which warned the burden could slow growth for decades as interest rates eventually rise.

"Can you spot the odd market out?"

Is it the pharmaceutical company that makes parkinson's medication?

The lines look kinda squiggly...

The Swiss stock market is in lala land, too.

Most of our companies are (mainly) exporting to the Eurozone, but they're still trading at a huge premium to their Eurozone competitors.

You are supposed to be investing in stocks. Didn't you receive the memo on Christmas morning?

Ships carrying Iranian oil not going to be insured anywhere in the world.... from anybody including china....

wonder what that will do to equities when 2.2 million barrels per day disappear in July from total global production?

Thu, 04/05/2012 - 14:18 | 2320015 SAME AS IT EVER WAS

Why is the s&p 500 not deverging? Because the small .01% (corp. exec's, politicians, wall st. casino funds, etc...) who know how the deck is stacked are in the process of unloading (after re-gaining) their worthless equity toilet paper bullshit to their unsuspecting marks (the 99.999% worlds population) through their 401k's, pension funds, and retail stock brokers. It's just like a gaint ponzi stock/equity(LOL) washing machine equipped with a devilish laundry/spin cycle.
