FED prints, FED buys bonds off banks, banks buy US stocks - The Flow

[smurfy2001] 19/11/2013 16:55

As per my BARC post i'm puzzled by the weakness of UK banks given the strength of US bank stocks (just look at NYSE:GS for example). I continue to monitor the opportunity to add BARC and RBS.

Yep and the FED was showing who's boss today..;

[dope007] 19/11/2013 16:27

Its all about the FLOW Leeds apparently...

Amazing the data and forecasts for economic growth in the US is weaker so its Indices rise, the data and forecasts for economic growth in the Uk get stronger, so its Indices fall.


For the UK, however, the Paris-based thinktank is more optimistic than many other forecasters and has revised up forecasts made in May. Predicting that stronger investment and household spending will drive faster growth, the OECD now forecasts the UK economy will grow by 2.4% in 2014. In May it had forecast 1.5%.

That outlook for next year is more optimistic than the 1.9% growth forecast by the International Monetary Fund and 1.8% predicted in March by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the Treasury's independent forecaster.

The banks broke everything with their greed. The FED is just finishing the job off

...'Kin 'ell! it's broken all the charts!

[dope007] 19/11/2013 14:35

DOW has seen a lot of the POMO go into it. Another $3 billion or so today!!!

[begorrah88] 19/11/2013 14:34

careful

So, so true

FTSE will collapse to the floor crying instead of watching the first 12% or so with the confidence of knowing it didn't follow the DOW up.

We keep seeing the FTSE [and almost all the banks which now act as an immediate tracker] amplifying any twitch in the DOW.

[careful] 19/11/2013 14:24

[dope007] 19/11/2013 10:38

Yes nearly as shocking as this laughable situation

Spanish sells 12-month bonds at record low yield of 0.678%

Only 26% unemployment and most of the debt probably bought by Spanish banks, on life support from the Spanish government, which is relying on EU bailout money....

What ever could go wrong?

Shocked I tell you! Shocked I am!...

On Friday October 5, 2012, the BLS released what was arguably the most important report of Obama's first term: the final jobs number, and unemployment rate before the November 2012 presidential election. As so many predicted, it "plunged" from 8.1% to 7.8% allowing the president to conduct countless teleprompted speechepraising the success of his economic recovery. It also served as the basis for the infamous Jack Welch tweet: "Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..can't debate so change numbers"

The news from the post today is that an employee has admitted to manipulating the numbers as a resultof orders from higher up and manipulation continues to today....how the FED, govt. institutions and corporates, (never mind anyone else) are expected to function effectively in the light of FAKE information is to say the least a worry...over to you Congress...! .....;
