MOVING ONTO GREENER PASTURES

The ECB, with the help from Germany, will fund bankrupt countries, indefinitely. The EZ is in recession and cannot grow out of their debt burden. As a result, people clamour for stocks. They want them (stocks) all the time because, well, it’s a bull market.

If you think about it, literally, nothing can stop stocks from going higher. If growth slows, the central banks step in and print more money. If a country or two fails, someone else will step in and bail them out. The end result is the same: stocks trade higher, not because economies are robust, but because no one is permitted to fail. It simply isn’t an option.

Do you remember, back in 2011, when European indices were knifing lower by 5% per session and our basic material/financial stocks got cut in half? That was all fucking fear mongering horseshit. Like it or not, President Obama is getting reelected, via landslide, because he makes stocks go higher. Bush was a fucking gorilla who threw banana peels at the economy.

As an aside, I’ve booked a mini-vacation for next week, heading out to Florida. The kids want to visit Universal, maybe Disney, and I want to eat grotesquely large turkey legs. I was down 1.5% on 8% of my money today aka a big nothing burger. Despite all of the fun and excitement outside, Le Fly remains indoors, reading books, drinking tea, shutting the blinds to avoid seeing all of the depravity being committed by outright perverts.

    Steve jobs will come back from the dead, and when the ECB runs out of money with all the capital flowing out of bond markets into cash, apple will be a 100 trillion dollar company and be able to bail out EUROPE. Their money will say “In Jobs we trust” and he will inflict pain upon anyone who doubts him. Apple will then bailout japan and the UK who will also fail to grow their way out of it, and everyone will be forced by the governers and elected dictators to send all their money to apple. The apple will get so big, it will fall on Newton’s head from which, Eve will pick it up and mess things up again for the paradise, as the Mayan Calander finally comes full circle in 2012 meaning we start all over as our “garden” variety life will come to an end and eventually we will get through the Genesis and prepare for the Exodus… or something.

    Target Dow 300,000!

    okay so the national debt of the US in 1929 was 16 billion. It’s now closing in on 16 trillion. the stocks were above 300 then. So multiply that by a thousand to keep in line with the debt increase and you get the value of the Dow once money leaves all the debt markets around the world (not just the US) and goes to stock. Of course it won’t completely, but the nations will hyperinflate taking turns trying to save each other injecting money in the bond markets from which people will happily use as a selling opportunity and they will hide their money from the elected official “money managers” known as government and put their money in stocks!
    DOW 300,000, here we come! All Aboard!

    OEW Daily Recap:

    “Today the SPX retested yesterday’s 1341 low and then rallied to a new uptrend high. While the short term wave count is getting a bit complicated we thought we’d review the entire uptrend to put it into perspective.”

    “This uptrend started in late November, and has thus far rallied in five Minor waves. These waves, 1 – 4, are marked in dark blue on the chart below. Minor wave 5 is still underway. Within Minor 5 we have had five Minute waves, i -iv, labeled in dark green. Minute wave v is still underway. After the Minute wave iv low at SPX 1337 this market has bounced around a bit without making a whole lot of upside progress. Minute iii topped last thursday at SPX 1354, and a week later Minute wave v has only made it to 1359. We can now count the internal waves of Minute wave v as either an unfolding diagonal triangle, or Micro waves 1 and 2 complete with wave 3 underway now.”

    “Either way we still expect the OEW 1363 pivot range to contain this uptrend. Short term support is at SPX 1337/41 and then the 1313, 1303 pivots. Overhead resistance is at the 1363, 1372 and 1386 pivots. Short term momentum is quite overbought.”

    Chart: http://caldaro.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/spx60min.png

    The range for a pivot is +/- 7 pts, therefore, if I understand Tony correctly, this uptrend will top out within the 1363 pivot range of 1356 to 1370.

      Prechter and all the Ellioticians have trying to get these waves correct since 2009… but it never happens …

      Every time there is a 5% selloff, they rejoice, Wave 1, of subwave II, of Grand Wave (3) has started … and then they all go silent, when the “Waves” never come … But they keep going back and making “adjustments” to their wave counts …

      sad!

        it’s a minor 5th that could complete tomorrow or Monday between 1356 and 1370. Then a consolidation wave (A-B-C down) followed by the 3rd and usually most dynamic wave up.

    Went to both before Christmas. Harry Potter over-rated. Mummy ride was boring. Must ride at Universal: The Simpsons. Terminator 3-D was cool too. Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster is a blast.

    As a family we much preferred Disney.

    High volume consolidation in RENN , on the cusp of breaking out of bullish cup and handle

    Only thing in the whole market I can endorse long. China will NEVER let real facebook in their country . It triggers nothing but unrest. RENN is their next closest thing.

    Gotta love those turkey legs. That’s good that you have the express passes. You’re staying on property I hope? Even with express passes that Harry Potter takes a bit. That whole part of the park is packed. If you are on property get over there early before the general population rushes in. I’ve had the annual passes for Universal for the family for the past 8 months. We’ve gone up a few times now and I have to say I still like Disney better. Universal is more for the teenagers I know but there is just something about Disney.

    I welcome the chance to have 0bama as my fearless leader. I can quit work, still get a paycheck and have full medical/dental coverage. Of course my children will go to college free, Harvard will do just fine. If I do re-enter the workforce I fully expect to have a four day work week, six weeks paid vacation and a pension waiting for me when I am fifty.

    Orlando? Home of white trash central? how awful! …where the non elite go to eat on their fat sweaty asses in poly shorts and leave wet sweaty shit on the seats of over-priced rides? ..I was never allowed in such places as a child! We went to places like Lake Chatauqua where we went to concerts and literary events and the ballet and had tea in the afternoon on the veranda. So much nicer with much better weather. Cheers!

    Senor Fly,

    Do not forget, my dear friend, that it was thee who spoke of the disintegration of the smoke and mirror “eternal prop up mechanism” of world banks and governments who print money.

    I didn’t say that I don’t agree with you, though!

    A while back, I predicted 3 to 4 down days that would be bought, then a real down day, that wouldn’t be bought, and then the start of real down days to follow.

    We shall see.

    Disney is definitely in control of this market right now.

    This sounds like a capitulation post, Le Fly.

    The ECB can print all they want. There is nothing, NOTHING, they can do to forestall the depression that’s imminent in Europe. Tack on the social uprisings that undoubtedly will follow, and the ECB is rendered irrelevant. They came too late to the money printing party.
