Spot The Odd One Out

Tyler Durden's picture




 

From last Wednesday's ECB rumor that ramped stocks higher and financials more than anything else, Goldman and JPMorgan have retraced it all and the rest are reverting rapidly on the total refutation of any rumors. There is one financial however that is still up 6%...

cough BofA cough...

UPDATE: An hour later - BofA has tumbled over 2%, reverting rapidly from unreality...

BofA = Wile E. Coyote

Meanwhile, Tyler's gonna be declared a financial terrorist for taking down BofA's stock.

Why does Tyler hate America?

I find it amusing. Figure, someone actually has THAT little going on in his life, that he dedicates his time to downvote random posts on an internet blog!

What do the up/down arrows do for us anyway?  I'm racking up mass down arrows here.  Can I sell them?

Looks like BA is what Reggie Middleton is referring to as the bank with too much Spanish exposure. Rumor=BA stays steady. Refutation= BA is toasted

I've got bad news for you folks: ZH is just a huge NSA/CIA front and the "comments" are like these psychological tests that weed out potential psychopaths and terrorists with the up arrow as yes, down arrow as no...

Tests like:

"I like guns"

"I brush my teeth"

"I watch American Idol"

"I think Dexter is a great serial"

"I saw my mother naked when I was a child"

"I listen to Frank Zappa music"

Ha, ha! The DHS hellfire drones are warming up and coming for you...

Sorry to ask the dumb/serious question - but really, what is the real/ZH savvy reason BofA is trading so differently than the others?  If there's some "in" knowledge on this, i'm too ZH newbie to have learned it.  Thanks.

My guess is that because Uncle Warren bought in for $5 bn the PPT give BoA special priority on days like today. BICBW.
It might be because BoA is relatively cheap compared to GS it is cheaper for the PPT to try to hold up?

Interesting indeed.  Most interesting part is that their trading makes no sense.  We are back to heavy knockdowns of $20 magnitude.  Where do these come from?  Certainly not rational traders who should be trying to get the most for their gold.  Which leaves us with what?

I can't believe all the conspiracy theories on this web site.  At the same time, evidence seems to point to something very bizarre in the markets. 

Who can afford to lose money by repeatedly knocking down precious metals?  Are they losing money?  Are they real entities, or simply rampant algos that have found a loophole to sell non-existent gold for dollars that don't exist?

We are in the financial twilight zone.

B of A or some central banking agent of theirs probably finally sold their own shares down to be in line with the rest. Better to stay with the herd than risk penalty for straying too far. That's the mentality of central banking today.
