VERY, VERY Dramatic

Let’s put things into perspective, shall we?

This is a bad tape, but not so bad. For the love of broken blue radios, we’re not even down 10% from the highs. People on the teevee are busy, with their pancaked make up, making you nervous. They are, without a doubt, fucking clowns.

It never feels good being on the receiving end of a murderhole. But what is the probable outcome here? Will the Fed just watch the economy double dip into the oblivion?

I think not.

The Bernanke put is alive and well. We’re going into the Jackson Hole meetings and the economy is in the tank.

Now, if you are short this market, you must be aware of the fact that the government hates you. The stock market is all we have now. It is our #1 export. Despite what your emotions are telling you (OMG WE’RE GONNA CRASH), there is a face ripping rally coming. The world doesn’t end like this, seamlessly without a fight. I am not sticking my head in the sand, ignoring the great and real problems facing the market today. I am simply positioning where the higher probability trades lie.

Remember, just last week everyone was giddy, snorting coke off the asses of gorillas. Now the world is ending?

Fucking drama queens.

    with tea party so keen on fed balance sheet, BB will have hard time for QE3. Let’s face it. QE doesn’t create much jobs and domestic inflation. Now low interest won’t work at all this time. I’m afraid we are looking at JAPAN path now.

    this problem is cancerous. Even if the Fed does QE, the real fucking problem is that fucking shit-hole called Europe, which the US should have allowed the sovs to mow during the cold war.

    The ECB is now the most highly leveraged financial institution in the world with basically less than junk assets. the trouble for the ECB is that no one should trust them because if the Germans pull out who is going to own the crap in the books?

    The only solution is for the ECB to go in there and start monetizing in large licks because no matter how much the Fed does the tumor is in Europe for the moment.

    The white man regards the universe as a gigantic machine hurtling through time and space to its final destruction: individuals in it are but tiny organisms with private lives that lead to private deaths: personal power, success and fame are the absolute measures of values, the things to live for. This outlook on life divides the universe into a host of individual little entities which cannot help being in constant conflict thereby hastening the approach of the hour of their final destruction.

      how does having a country that has a schizophrenic tax policy do anyone any good? Yes lower taxes are more favorable to non-government funded jobs, but the job creators will still be worried about taxes rising sometime in the future as in 4 years later. Business plans are usually about the long term. Stability needs to be there first, then low taxes.

      Plus, Romney’s the one that basically voted for Obama Care and Rick Perry was Al Gore’s buddy

        Romney has said his first act would be to repeal Obamascare on a state-by-state level.

        And please look at Canada’s tax policy in the last 10 years. (actually started by a social left P.M.) They have led 9 of 10 years for growth of all the G8 countries.

      corp like csco will hire ppl in Asian and hide tax from gov. Lower corp tax alone will NOT create new job HERE. We need to close the tax loophole and provide tax relief to small business.

        Agreed. On closing tax loopholes.

        But if you want jobs here then you have to get the liberal policy makers to stand aside, stop vilifying them and set up an environment for business to thrive in the U.S.
        Some liberal hippie black liberation theologian shouldn’t be making policy.

      Microsoft, Google, Apple… (and others) have $ Billions of cash locked up instead of creating jobs, or even using the $ in some way to circulate in the economy. How is lowering tax rates going to help create jobs? Repeal the expenses of maintaining a payroll and you may have more job creation.

    Get your head outta the sand Fly. QE isn’t coming for awhile. It destroyed the economy last go around via devestating inflation and more debt.

    Bernanke can’t do shit. If he QE’s then a S&P downgrade to AA is just about a lock and gas will go to $5 a gallon. He’s in a box and there is no way out.

    This whole house of cards is coming down.

    There is no confidence in government or our “leaders”, that they know what to do, how to do it, when to do it, what policies they want and what they can agree on. We seem to be led by a bunch of stumblebums who are more interested in sparring with each other than anything. That goes for the Euros too.
