I actually had a heckler on twitter challenge me on the carry trade relationship to stocks.
Japan is sinking, as if one of their state of the art nuclear reactors melted down. The yen carry trade unravel is in full suicide mode and bankers are eating their shirts tonight.
US futs are getting hammered, now down more than 8.
Track NIKKEI at top of iBC, along with futures and other fine things.
Here’s a live stream of CNBC. Shhh, don’t tell anyone.

Hold Fast Lads. Buy the blood. Quick is the action and sharp be ye.. This is where the coin is banked. Do ye got the sand? Or are ye a comoner? Are you a Fuken lemming? A common piece of shite? Buy the blood lads, and stop your whining.
That made me laugh.
I guess MTU will take a pounding tomorrow?
Ala the great Ned Beatty. Just need a friend to show up quick with bow and arrow.
Sharpen your pencils and pick up the diamonds. Love the blood! Here is the door to wealth! Soon FABER and all the death squad will be trumpeted on the evil CNBC and then will be ye call. Charge to the sound of the cannons. The most desecrated stocks will harbor the greatest rewards, for the devil is PIMCO. FABER. KAHN WSJ BARRON’S ET AL. THEY WANT TO EAT YOUR YOUNG.
And taking a break from my own idiocy,, what is loathed today will be loved Tommorw. Top reits. STAG O MPW ET AL, GSJK USAC
NEWSFLASH: GODZILLA IS STOMPING THROUGH TOKYO.
Run you spineless ravens. Spread the fear!
How long is the delay on your quotes up top for the Nikkei etc.?
Should be close to RT
As you peck for kernels I have filled my silos of cobs
Karl’s blue panties are getting ruffled. Defcon 1 now. We should move up 5 percent off tomorrow’s lows based on this
Thank god I’m short and flat in my B&H accounts. This could turn into massive, deep carnage. We can only hope that I’ll be there to buy your calls.
Spread the Fear! So shall I harvest from your cowardice! On FABER on el Arian on PIMCO ! Hey Wien! Sell your book now devil!
You don’t know fear, neophyte. But soon you shall…..it is coming.
Oooh I’m scared. (No Costanza)
Come now the clarions of bears. Only once again to have your snouts sliced by the almighty clam..
Wrong. You miss one simple fact. Assets have become too expensive. The wealthy understand this, and have decided to make them cheaper so they may once again begin buying them to make even more wealth.
It’s really not too complicated.
Well said Huggie. The rich get richer selling the sucker the top over and over and over.
Oh we’ll that’s enough fun for tonight. Sucking down one last Newcastle with an Ambien. Nite lads!
Good call.
Godzilla is hitting this market with “surprise sex”
Hah! I have a buttload of SWY. 23% short, selling their Canada operations for an amount equal to their market cap.
Without the QE mystery crack. What stops the slide this time? Every selloff the last few years had the clam finger fuck to revive it.
Dip buyers believing that the clam will be back one day. Those shifting out of Asia that believe America has greater strength in uncertain times. Capital will flea Europe and do the same thing at some point. Higher interest rates causing a migration of capital into us bank and the actual demand for loans and cash pushing up real business growth.
Short sellers covering and then the stubborn ones getting squeezed out.
Etc, etc.
Start to get ready for the buy the dippers are not far away.
Why is this so surprising?
Oh everyone so happy the nikkei up 5000 points in 5 months. One week almost 7 percent. Does anyone think the universe just lets you get away with something for free? Are the Japanese that stupid? Oh look at the stock market Yay! Well thank god bears are usually right. Because they are not looking for an easy fix, easy money, fake goodtimes. However, amen to bubblemakers for giving us bubbles.
This move is probably generally contained in our market. But the cracks have begun. Ladies and gentlemen
What have the japs done different than the real clam whores? Fake is fake.
Why our markets would be “contained” was the long winded question.
You forget that the Nikkei went from 8000 to 38,000 in like 4 years…
So if we are Japan, we have huge gains ahead first.
Or from under 2000 if you go back to 19 years before the peak.
Awesome. We just hit the slotmachine jackpot on Nikkei (down 777.77)
Europe indicating -1.8%
The land of the setting sun will sink into the sea, eventually.
buy hd, on any dip.

Blip bloop bleep
We need Helicopter Ben to pull a George Warren and have the US add trillions in extra currency backed by nothing. No bonds that require payment, just cash that is free from obligation…
That’s the true “cocaine rally” and the other govts around the world can try it too. Mainstream economies don’t experience hyperinflation unless they resort to communism or revolutionary governments because there is no collapse in confidence just because of additional monies, only terrible policies that causes cash to migrate from the banks in that country and flea to safety by any means necessary,,.
Deflation is the battle that must be fought.
Why would anyone short US indexes here… this makes no sense to me… I have been short Brazil, Russia and Emerging markets for weeks and also steel, coal, copper and PMs… You short the weak and long the strong, it’s that simple. I want to be long yen though 🙂 because Kuroda will still press his printing and still lose.
If the global “margin call” is strong enough, eventually the strongest has the biggest sellout right at the end. They hang onto the strong assets as long as they possibly can.
Ideally you get ahead of that and cover your emerging market shorts and sell your US stocks in time to not lose too much before getting back on the winning side again.
I suspect Europe will sell off first and US will be shortly after.
US gets a cold, the rest of the world does of a plague… Or however e saying goes.
and in the end the cash you have is equal to the love you make…lol
Bill gates is a whore? Lol I can’t imagine that needle nosed nerd getting any…. ESP pre Microsoft…
Or even now with all his money.
