Futures Rip Higher Following Three Weekend Terrorist Attacks

Terror is good for the art of creating uncertainty. As such, uncertainty breeds stimulus and that is good for stocks. As a matter of fact, just about anything is good for stocks, even debilitating debt loads.

At the present, Dow futsĀ are higher by 55.

For those of you uninformed, a man screaming ‘Allah Akbar’ knifed people to bits in a Minnesota mall this weekend. ISIS claimed responsibility for this measure of multi-culturalism generosity.

Also, a bomb went off in NYC and another was discovered a few blocks yonder, injuring 29.

And, finally, some amateur detonated a bomb in NJ, which thankfully injured no one.

Digesting all of this domestic terrorism, investors apparently believe this is good news for stocks. Also, WTI is higher by 1.4% and gold is 0.35% to the good.

Get ready for fuckery on the grandest of scales.

    This is good for the economy because….

    (there’s an Internet meme where bitcoiners would turn any piece of dogshit news into something positive by starting with “this is good for bitcoin because….”)

    I don’t get it. Shouldn’t gold fly in these circumstances? Gold is so wonky these days.

    They say “eh” way too much in Minnisota, so half of the attacks were technically in Northern and Southern Canada. Doom for USA is cut in half right there. Smooth sailing from here on.

    When maybe 1% of the market action is actual individuals does any news matter

    From what I read, the knife attack in the mall went down something like the scene here.
    An off duty cop from another jurisdiction sent the barbarian to see Allah post haste.

    Proxima Centauri, who gets us there first? Musk, Bezos or Branson. I’ll be amazed if the market can hold the 2,120 level this week.
