BERNANKE DESTROYS WALL STREET

Last night Obama fired Bernanke in an interview with Charlie Rose. The very next day, stocks drop 200+. Coincidence, I think not.

^^^That’s the real story.

If The Bearded Clam is out, so is Le Fly.

I am not buying this dip and may take the God damned summer off, positioned like a Caesar, 60% cash, up 31% for the year.

    not sure how everyone is getting that Obama fired Bernanke in that interview … Bernanke has made it known that he’s leaving for some time now

      You can’t see Obama dodging the question of whether or not he would reappoint Bernanke if Bernanke wanted back?

        Obama had something to say & Rose did not follow up with that question when he was done saying that the Bernanke was a good partner with the 1/2 white man in the White House

        since everyone is accusing the Obama of firing the Bernanke, no doubt that question will be reraised and replied to in the coming hours or days

        the fact remains that Bernanke took the position saying it was not for life & he had previously announced he’d be stepping down at year end, so all this Obama fired Bernanke talk is personal bias/agenda-making

    When Bernanke was asked about being ‘fired’ it seemed to me like it was all he could do to hold back a shit-eating grin.

    Actually, this kind of puts it all in perspective.

    This is what they REALLY do when they retire:

    Video analysis.

    When questioned if Bernanke would be rehired. Obama looked away. A tell that he is likely lying.

    Upon finishing his answer his forehead and brow become wrinkled while still avoiding eye contact. Another sign of nervousness in answering the question and “physical uncomfortability.” Further, Obama essentially avoided or punted the direct question of bernanke being rehired.

    A reasonable inference can be drawn hedging on the side of Bernanke not being rehired.

    Thus, for all intensive purposes a reasonable inference to the fed chairman exiting.

      Market will freak out when he does. Do you remember how the market tanked when Greenspan retired?

        I definitely think the market will tank when bernanke leaves. If nothing more than a risk off reaction to the possible end of QE and POMO. If Yellin is in then I think it is business as usual and the policy continues. If an outlier person is in..then hell..it is impossible to handicap. (Geitner = business as usual. Larry Summers = shit..I don’t know. either way impossible to handicap. )

        The credit markets will certainly be interesting. High yield will shit the bed with risk off. (On the premise that interest rates will rise and the cost of capital will be become more expensive. But I am just an amateur.)

        I remember greenspan left in february of 06. And SPY chopped around and rallied sometime in mid march.
        But then ate shit in mid may of 06 through june. I think the 500 came back in september of 06. Either way..with Bernanke gone……I certainly think it will be risk off for institutions and trading desks. Hell, the news media will be flush with stories of “will interest rates rise?” Fucking eh. Interesting times indeud.

      Can’t say i understand you and your perplexing communication style…if you don’t think the market is going lower, you are dead wrong. Easy money is driving everything, and rising mortgage rates in combination with the sequester impacts are about to put the brakes on.

      I’m not calling for any massive decline, but we’ve got a few percent coming our way.

      Good luck to you and yourn.
