STRAP IN BOYS. THE S&P JUST DROPPED BELOW ITS AUGUST LOW.
The market failed to bottom out. Passing this point increases the chance it may keep tumbling. Keep an eye on out, today might go down in history.

This was the exact situation in September over that weekend. Everyone was meming like crazy "IT'S HABBENING" and then Chinese central bank intervened on Monday, pumped in tens of billions of yuan and happening was postponed. Dow recovered by a thousand points in a week.
Same thing will happen next Monday.

Needs to drop farther and faster, into negative territory like interest rates so the wealthy can experience what the middle class is experiencing.
I'm here.
I was replying to the central bank question of how devaluing the yuan will matter for global equities.
The Keynesian theory is that cheaper yuan make Chinese exports cheaper, so more consumption, so more production, so jobs saved and made and etc. Workers work, instead of revolt. Whether it actually works takes quarters to play out, but rick markets work on minutes and hours, then days and weeks as the dumber money catches on.
In stocks, it's all psychological. Why does price move at all? In a single trade you want $5, but I bid $4.95. Who caves in first, you or me? The answer is the one who is more aggressive in their belief of their price. You give up the nickel, or I do. Sum up all those decisions and you get market price movement.
Central bank intervention gives the edge in aggression back to the buyers.
>>61094479
That's going to be a tough sell though, they may have fucked themselves here
How can they ignore years of QE and distorted rates?
>>61095411
The FED just handed off the problem to the Chinese. PBOC forced to intervene next, while the FED races to try to reverse repo all those excess reserves to get as much capacity back in the tank as they can before it's their turn again.
>>61095411
because the average American has no idea that those things are going on. Hell, they don't know what those terms mean.
In the event of a stock market crash progressives will spew some bull shit about how the unregulated market is too speculative and is bad for average joes. Irresponsible bankes. Etc. The same shit they said in 2009. People will eat that shit up because they didn't understand it then, and they don't understand it now.
The fed has created three bubbles in less than two decades. Practically unprecedented. But hardly anyone is talking about this. The general public is too uneducated to understand and will call for more destructive policies.

>Central bank intervention gives the edge in aggression back to the buyers.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you but the buyers have had an abnormal edge in aggression for years. That is how we had a dot com bubble, and housing bubble, and now this ( which I would argue is a treasury bond bubble at its core). Keynesians refuse to learn that you can't cheat reality. The think they can get unsustainable growth at no price. Each successive crash is going to get bigger because the last one was fixed with a band-aid instead of addressing the core issues. Its going to get, much, much worse before it gets better.

We just cleared combined session VWAP. One more level at 1876 (ES) and you'll have it.
1876 is intermediate term resistance from the 6pm opening candle yesterday, btw. Imbalance of trapped longs trying to exit. It could hold here for an hour, or drop back. I'm thinking she'll hold.
Even when it's green by a couple ticks, getting stopped out always feels like a failure.
>>61098692
Funnily enough, for all of the "It's Happening" memeing, the final, true happening is a result of the Fed.

I can't wait for the montage of videos showing that Schiff was 100% right and literally everyone was fucking wrong
>>61100955
Though the net is the same to you, the narrative more about the dollar strength than pound weakness. The play is that China will devalue to stop their bleeding. Given Euro weakness, Canadian recession, and general exposure to China, the USD is best positioned to strengthen in the event of PBOC intervention. China is your number 2 export destination, after Germany, so a weakened yuan will drive UK exports down even further, encouraging your central bank to consider a weaker pound against relative need for domestic consumption versus export stimulus. The pessimistic view is weaker pound.
tl;dr - It's all about China

>>61100955
>>61101342
Or another way to look at it is: if you have institutional quantities of money that has to go somewhere in order to earn some kind of non-negative return, which currency is most likely to be in an updraft, in terms of yield?
The only safe currency showing strength, in yield terms, on an upward slope, is the USD.
So as capital flight increases from China, the dollar will strengthen as it is chosen for its haven status.
>>61101879
okay that makes more sense, thanks anon

>>61094584
Is the falling bear gonna correct its axis on the peak market cap?

>>61101482
Eventually. A year? Two? Currency regimes tend to be either really fast or really slow. Against the pound specifically, I know the government over there takes the strong pound as a point of pride. It's not my specialty, but I'd have to guess this thing with China is going to take most if not all of 2016 to get normalized.

The only upside to this is liberals will finally have to face the music of their shitty logic.

I don't think anyone related to the stock market has any faith, at this point it's just make believe. They know it, their partners know it, the TV analysts know it. You just keep repeating the lie and in turn pretend to believe the lies that go round. Like two politicians pretending to give a damn about issues of the people instead of just trying to gain power for themselves. They talk to each other, they argue, but they both know they are just bullshitting each other, it's just a show for the people. Same with the stock market. They just have to do it, because being honest means the world will burn.

>>61106812
This notion of a "petrodollar" is a bit dated. Since the fracking boom and the recession the dollar has been treated more like an anti-risk asset than an oil proxy. The slump in oil is being interpreted as a slump in overall demand and the dollar is gaining due to predictions of currency flight and Euro and Yen weakness.
I can't see a bull case for oil other than a massive yuan devaluation which triggers a short squeeze and a relief rally, but with oil, as soon as that happens, the rigs that pay at $50 turn back on at $50, and supply gluts out again. Oil can, and will, de-couple from the dollar until China gets itself fixed.

It isn't the bottoming out that is going to be bad, btw, but the total lack of recovery.

This is why everyone, at least subconsciously, is shitting their pants. Unlike the last time, nobody is aware where the investments should go. Therefore, nobody will invest and then the economy is fucked.
We are in for baaaaaad times. And Roosevelt won't be there to bail our asses out.

I'd still be long cash, perhaps move some of it towards precious metals.
>>61107558
A gigantic amount of liquidity being pumped into the markets by the central bank, duh.
That trick won't work again!
The interest rate is only 0.5 right now, it can't go lower again and bring the necessary stimulus.
The interest rate was ten times higher before 2008 fyi
>>61107862
Go long Cash, unless the US loses its shit and begins to give out massive amounts of welfare, OR, stops taxing rich people because it's thirsty for trickle-downed piss. Then short US dollars.
Who /world record/ here?
>>61107558
With interest rates so low, the central bank has no moves left. They can't help us now.
When the inevitable happens, it's going to be a straight drop and the bottom will be fundamental and non-technical (ie. massive reorganization of society and the world economy, probably with a good war thrown in)
>>61108222
>With interest rates so low, the central bank has no moves left.
Negative interest rates and QE4 when?
>>61107558
Massive bailouts that are still going on to this day.
>>61107823
Green energy is still an option. Fuck I want massive investment into that so much.
Also, what is of the most value in an economic system? Human beings, the same thing that the economic system is supposed to be for. If the world was sane, we'd invest enormously into human development, which would reap huge dividends economically but also in everything else.
Instead, we're content to let humans be products and consumers of products - mere commodities.
How low limbo can it go?

2009 left two distinct impressions on the survivors. One is that the FED is willing to become the owner of last resort of any asset no matter how worthless; and two there is no problem, however complicated or imbecile that a dump truck full of cash can't fix.
Imagine a huge backfire of the oil market. Price stays so low so long that the majors and the wildcats and MLPs actually can't afford to run the rigs. Supply starts to dwindle. Prices reverse, then rally, then skyrocket. $750 oil, because there is no one left to pump any out of the ground - they all went bankrupt.
What would the FED do? It's an easy one. De facto nationalization and daily POMOs for the T-backed bonds of the new USAMCO.
Everyone would scream bloody murder about the politics of it, but civilization moves on.

Don't shit your pants over the business cycle would be the first one.

Just get to the bank, take out as much cash as you can, fill up your cars gas tank, fill up any spare gas cans you have, stop at the store and buy dry foods (Beans, canned foods, peanut butter, rice) be sure to have a decent water filter, have guns and ammo and you will be fine.
Let the mobs cleanse the dead flesh from our society while you stay comfy and cozy at home maintaining high operational readiness and shoot any dindus who try and creep up on you.
You will be fine.
You do own guns and ammunition right anon?

People obsess over the price of oil irrationally. Oil is low because demand is low and we have an oversupply.
Now. Oil producers will collapse but that doesn't mean the demand for oil will also increase. And that's crucial.
Unless demand returns, the price of oil will only rise slowly.

Kek. 2008 alone was worth at least three pairs of pants. 2016 is fucking terrifying, because unlike 08, all the Bull Markets are gone.

So what? In the cities if you want to join a good credit union you need to have 10,000 ready to deposit and they have management fees. I've been exploiting a loophole to keep my money locked up without a fee for a few years and I'm still a couple thousand short of being able to switch.
What would you suggest? If I lived in a place where I could own a weapon i'd buy a safe, but that's not in the cards either.
might properly stock up on beer

This isn't a credit crisis so there is no need for extra money, It wouldn't help anything,
There is a commodity glut due to slow down in china, something like that is clearly temporary and normal, only truly deluded people though communist magic was going to keep shina growing at ridiculous speeds forever.

The Federal Reserve would become the owner of last resort of the US' oil infrastructure. They would issue debt instruments, backed by the faith and credit of the United States. The debt would finance the US version of ARAMCO, the Saudi national oil company. The permanent open market operations to sell these new bonds would be held every day until enough finance had been raised to operate the new nationilzed oil company.

in real assets man. something you can exchange for money and which appreciates in value without management fees. people suggest bitcoin, but I don't like it. almost anything else is a better alternative than a bank.

like real estate? and other illiquid assets?

Major energy companies are much more diversified than just oil, and they still make plenty of money on refinement and retail gas stations. the big names like shell and exxon are not going bankrupt, they will swallow the little fish and in 5 years they will probably be bigger than ever.

It's possible. Remotely. The problem with this Rickards/Shiff/Durden apocalypse is that in order for it to happen, the FED and the Treasury have to lose control of the US Treasury market.
The FED has demonstrated that it could become the opposite of a monopoly - a monopsony. That's a market with only one buyer, instead of only one seller. If the FED ended up owning every single Treasury in issuance, then yeah, that could be, as they say, "problematic."
But what would happen, what is the event that triggers every holder of US Treasuries in the world to panic sell them?
That is the question they can never answer.

>This isn't a credit crisis so there is no need for extra money, It wouldn't help anything,
Besides subprime Car loans, I agree. But that isn't the problem now, nor was the problem of the Great Depression. Our problem is that investors have lost reasons to invest. Where should money be put?
>>61107823
>There is a commodity glut due to slow down in china, something like that is clearly temporary and normal, only truly deluded people though communist magic was going to keep shina growing at ridiculous speeds forever.
See. Who is going to buy the Commodities? Who? Where is the next "Frontier?"
That's what happened in the 30's. Investors gave up trying to invest in Europe. In fact, Capitalists in Europe failed so badly, that they STILL didn't recover TWO whole years after World War II. It took the Marshal Plan to finally fix their economies.
That's how shitty the Great Depression was. We had to give ourselves a New Deal, and then give fucking Europe a New Deal for themselves.
But don't worry guys. Roosevelt has been dead for years. So we'll be OK

Like the GM bailout? I agree, but that's what would happen. Like I said, patriots and hard money folks would scream bloody murder, but they would still buy the gas at the pump. Life would go on.
Then they'd do an IPO and sell the thing back and mature the bonds, like they did with GM, and claim the "profits" as assets on their balance sheet.

The vast majority of rigs will be run selling oil at any price, ANY price, even 1 dollar a barrel.
To the majors, Wildcatters it doesn't matter its about cash flow.
Mainstreet is already rebounding from the oil slump, if it gets another year or year and a half the US economy will be fine, even with a stock market crash.
>>61110402

That is not really something you can say in less than a week. This is clearly a panic sell by jittery investors.
