Whatever a CB does, it distorts a market and makes it's correction all that much more traumatic when they no longer can or will continue their action.

Now the "Bernanke put" is gone, in the stock market's mindset, and it could likely get pretty bad. But a put has been granted to the long bond market, which means that now it continues to rise without let up. The US is headed for, or arrived at, negative real rates.

Meanwhile, collateral damage will be everywhere: Asia, Europe.

Time to read the news. I'll bet there's sticky white stuff...
I think the put is still there, the interesting thing is; as long as there is uncertainty, there will be bull days... When everything is good again in late 2012 or early 2013 we are going straight to hell...

Too much put noise is still present in the released numbers here and there... which gives us the nice squeeze...

Boys glue and much more....

Time to read the news. I'll bet there's sticky white stuff all over the Z H site this morning ("See? We've been right all along!"). Except for the comment writers, who are largely the "gold only goes up" crowd.
ZH does have decent articles from time to time but most people fail to realise that you need to take them with a grain of salt... or a bucket incase you are ready CNBC etc news.

Hope you're well, brother.

You're charts REALLY don't fit well with the title of the thread, but because they are SO good...I think they are permitted...and love when you drop a few in.

Cheers mate!

They underestimated the power the US still has as safe haven when things get really nasty
Last night I referred to at least one writer who termed Treasuries the "new gold." They actually have been behaving that way since the solvency/liquidity rumors began to really threaten the E-bank's credibility.

"the power the US still has as safe haven"

One time a Japanese man and I were flying from NY to LAX. His mission was to look at (a) American real estate and (b) a company -- which an LBO firm that his firm had just acquired -- had just acquired. I was along because I spoke better English than he, and I was used to driving on the right side of the road. He had the window, I had the aisle. For a long time, he sat looking out the window, over Iowa, Nebraska.

He turned to me and said: "Is this land below all crops?" "Yes, corn, wheat. The circles you see are irrigation where the rain is not enough." Then he looked back out the window, and said, "It is so much."

The best comment writers are over at the Telegraph under Ambrose Pitchard's pieces, or in otherwise British rags.

Speaking of BAC, a few years ago when I was somewhat dumber Jim Cramer told me to buy BAC at $47 so I did and I have held on. It actually pays pretty well at tax time now.

He's a cheeky bastard!

Just checked...and I had never vouched for the bastard, either! WTF??? He gave me my first vouch, too. I'm a MORON...hence, the title of the thread.

Sorry Orb...gross oversight rectified.
