This Week in Exodus: Bad Breadth Might Be Your Saving Grace

Last week we discussed France and how it should be fucked. That turned out to be correct and the Exodus algos went into high gear on Friday, trying to decipher the carnage.

Surprisingly, there isn’t much to tell. Aside from a few random names being OS, like CLX, Friday’s closing levels didn’t push anything into oversold range.

As you can see by the actual OS instances below, Exodus has been crushing the oversold ranges, continuing a path of excellence that was initially take in 2008.

The only bullish bullet point taken away from Friday’s session is the horrible breadth in the market. There wasn’t anywhere to hide, not in gold or bonds or REITs. Everything got hit, marking a 90% down day–the first since August of 2015.

On that fateful day in August of 2015, Exodus did indeed flag OS and the signal worked. Shortly thereafter, however, markets dropped lower–eventually bouncing in late September.

My feelings aside, Exodus is suggesting Friday was a do nothing day. But if history is any guide, we’re in for a rough couple of weeks ahead.

Bear in mind, just last week a catamite reporter prefaced a health question to H. Clinton by calling it a ‘conspiracy theory’, which she was more than happy to oblige. While rumors of her health deteriorating spread like wild fire across the people’s internets, the pseudo-literaries in the government controlled press have worked tirelessly to hide her ailments.

I take no pleasure in the sickness of others. I am a deeply empathetic person– and only wish the Central Banksters intense harm.

Today at the 9/11 ceremony, weather conditions were a sublime 82 degrees, and Hillary Clinton passed the fuck out. She had to be lifted into a van, losing a shoe in the process, and shuttled away to her daughter’s NYC apartment.

Hillary Clinton had a “medical episode” that required her to leave a 9/11 commemoration ceremony early, a law enforcement source who witnessed the event told Fox News.

The Democratic presidential nominee appeared to faint on her way into her van and had to be helped by her security, the source said. She was “clearly having some type of medical episode.”

Clinton’s stumbled off the curb, her “knees buckled” and she lost a shoe as she was helped into a van during her “unexpected early departure,” a witness told Fox News.

Even the Washpo blogger, who begged for everyone to stop discussing Hillary’s health last week, has eaten crow and posted this headline questioning her health.

I am certain he’ll be fired before sundown.

Maybe CNN should re-hire Dr. Drew?

In response to Clinton talking extremely greasy about Trump’s supporters, at a homosexual fundraiser in NYC last night, Mike Pence took the opportunity to use her comments to paint her as a divisive demon, incapable of running ‘Merica.

Separately, Trump took to Twitter to cast aspersions.

Who else loves Presidential elections?

What sort of fuckery is this? Whose idea was it at the Clinton campaign to apologize for her statements, calling 50% of Trump’s supporters deplorable by insulting them even more?

In a glib statement issued by Clinton, she regretted being ‘grossly generalistic’ and regretted ‘saying half’ of Trump’s supporters were a bunch of dixie flag waiving fuckheads. Maybe she intended to say 30%? What exactly is she saying here?

Then, she went on to associate Trump to David Duke, the Klan, and white supremacists, somewhat implying that if you support Trump, well then, you’re supporting a klansman.

Many of Trump’s racist supporters are in fact, ‘hard working’, says Clinton. She’s ‘determined to bring our country together’, rubes and all.

To be fair to H. Clinton, a vast swath of America, or any country for that matter, are bumbling morons–walking the earth in a zombie like trance–wards of the state and beholden to people like her. Unfortunately, for her, calling 50% of Trump supporters a ‘basket of deplorables’ who are, inexorably, racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and islamaphobic, is definitely a campaign ‘faux pas’–if I might so bold.

Tossing generalization bombs like this is for the internet, not Presidential candidates who intend to rule a nation of deplorables. Going along with her insanity, how does one quantify being deplorable? Moreover, why does she believe the number is 50%? Does she have government data that says half of Trump’s virile supporters are indeed sexist?

These are statements of an idiot, to be perfectly blunt. Clinton supporters might say “well, Trump says a lot of stupid shit and this is fair play.” To them I say ‘straw man argument.’ You cannot justify the actions of one person by decrying the behavior of another–when the people who are being insulted are just ordinary citizens being jerked around and dragged through a muddy election season.

Wait, it gets better.

She also said 25% of America is “irredeemable.”

She went on: “And unfortunately, there are people like that and he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric.” (extra irony)

Now if I did fear government and extrapolated what she said out, say 10 years, I’d surmise the government would one day enact some sort of reeducation camp for said mentioned irredeemables. Also, kiss those fucking ‘alt-right’ websites goodbye.

Watch as Clinton at her LGBT fundraiser, insulting 50% of Trump’s supporters as an irredeemable cabal of racist, sexist, islamophobic, xenophobic imbeciles to a cackling audience of elitist scum.

Thoughts?

UPDATE: Clinton doubled down on her statements, saying she will continue “calling out bigotry and racist rhetoric.”

Typically, companies leverage out their balance sheets during times of durress. Although the past few years has been anything but stellar for the economy, it has been growing. What’s particularly unusual about the amount of debt issuance is that it’s coming at a time when growth is abundant, which makes the fall that much more onerous–whenever it may come.

For the year of 2015, company share buy backs and dividends topped 1 fucking trillion dollars. Although that number is set to decline in 2016, the numbers are still staggering.

Corporate bond sales surpassed $1t last week for the fifth consecutive year. Collective debt now stands at a record 2.4x earnings.

“The investment-grade ‘safe’ part of the market is becoming the most dangerous,” said Ashish Shah, chief investment officer at AllianceBernstein LP. “There are so little returns out there. People are crowding into whatever they can.”

Total corporate debt has grown 10% per annum since 2009 and +16% in 2015. Simultaneously, EBITDA dropped by 4% during 2015.

Most of the issuance is occurring in the energy and healthcare sectors, where fuckheads run around like chickens without heads, buying back their own stock instead of investing in their businesses. The result has led to the sharpest decline in productivity in decades.

Between the growing debt bombs in both China and the United States, the global economy will need to grow a lot in order to ease the burden that is being applied to corporate balance sheets.

Also, U.S. Federal Debt is on the cusp of topping $20 trillion.

There weren’t many places to hide today, with 90% of stocks lower for the session. Gold, Silver and other commodities were the big dogs for the day, all encumbered with harrowing losses, some in the double digits. REITs sold off and everyone is panicked over a Fed rate hike. Meanwhile, the people who actually control the Fed’s decisions are only giving a 24% chance for a September hike and 57% chance for one in December. Lots of fuckery can happen from now until December, when horrible retail sales will likely rear its ugly head.

Two things to take into account.

1. We are overdue a correction and September is the most likely time for it to happen, being the worst month for stocks historically.

2. The market isn’t pricing in political risk or even remotely taking into account that the Fed is intending to hike rates, or jawbone about it, at a time when recent economic data is suggesting the economy is weakening.

This tone deafness out of the Yellen Fed is something of a hallmark for her. I used to joke on the Twitter about her partaking in podiatrist appointments, or eating clubbed sandwiches, while the world burned. Somethings never change. Unlike Dr. Benjamin Bernanke, who used to lamp up in his dimly lit office at the Federal Reserve, smoking joints and enacting big balled Fed policy to save the world–because he was a hero, Yellen is much more comfortable with trying to justify her existence and incessantly worrying about the inflation boogeyman–who was killed a long time ago.

Have a great weekend and don’t forget to join the league of gentlemen in Exodus, for an oversold signal might be right around the bend.

The Fed merely discussed the option of hiking rates and the market threw itself into a lit fireplace, wrapped in flammable outer garments. Unbeknowst to Yellen’s Fed, apparently, their bosses (the stock market) are saying there is only a 24% chance of a hike in September and a 57% chance of it happening in December.

Bear in mind, the Fed has NEVER hiked rates without the probability being at 100% beforehand. Ergo, there isn’t a chance in red fucking hell that the Fed will hike rates and live to talk about it.

Ellen Zentner, Chief Economist at Morgan Stanley, thinks the Fed is ‘itching to move’, mainly to justify their existence on the planet Earth. But, ultimately, will bend to the caprices of the market and back the fuck down.

WTI was down more than 3.5%, after people did the math and figured out a potential Saudi oil freeze pales in comparison to the increases being placed on the supply side by a number of fellow terrorist sponsored countries.

The Third Estate are enduring hideous losses in a most fastidious fashion this afternoon. Like their predecessors lost before them pressing their luck into an inexorable circumstance, the vast majority of trulls infecting Twitter today, with their inane banter, will succumb to the pangs of detrimental and irreversible loss. Their bones will be broken and their marrow sapped by blood sucking vampires who feed off the weak. Lucky for all of you, “The Fly”  is a vampire killer, raised from birth to defeat the dark forces of man, protect the addled from speeding his/her wheeled chairs into deep and unforgiving crevasses.

History is replete with men who’ve been extricated from this game of play. Bear in mind, golden age thinking is the number one enemy of the future. We must forge ahead and create a new world, hopefully one without garrulous shit talkers, prattling about Twitter with mechanized rebuttals for all of the harrowing issues facing the world today. While the rosed colored glasses make things look good, it’s all a facade and only serves to undermine people–falling into a false sense of security that will inevitably lead to a most heinous demise.

From hog butchers to Goldman Ball Sacks, a courrection is coming (Extra Debert Grady), offering all a Hobson’s Choice that will clean the streets of talking potatoes and mollified whores of Babylon.

Have a great weekend!

After feeling the heat from his own progressives, banning a picture that could very well be used to promote anti-war activism or a keen awareness of the fuckery of man, Zuckerberg reversed his decision and will not permit historically important picture that do not plod along with his view of the world.

“We recognize the history and global importance of this image in documenting a particular moment in time,” the statement reads. “Because of its status as an iconic image of historical importance, the value of permitting sharing outweighs the value of protecting the community by removal.”

Indeud. Mr. Hansen from Aftenposten has dispatched the socially awkward tyrant at Facebook.

Sometimes making a big fucking deal about things can make a difference.
