Why are the markets up on bad news

  1. Employment numbers are in, higher than expected... Dow jumps 100+ pts.

    Market rally as confidence in QE grows?

    So, we depend on more confidence in the FED to continue QE than the actual economy and numbers?

    The days of real market participation are dead, the fed and government bodies have destroyed it. We will never see days previous of 2008.

    It's all about the multiple expansion. Benny Bux for all.

    Where have you been the last 5 years?

    Payrolls came in soft, August was revised up but July got revised down quite heavily to 89k.

    No taper expectations into the end of the year and beginning of next would be my guess.

    Buy dips?

    Bad news is great news because everytime there is a small hint of an economic slow down the fed can just keep QE going and going, but as I said a thousand times before the market has become sooo fucking dependent on this money printing game that when it does stop there is going to be a collapse in the economy. Everyone can laugh now and think this isn't possible, but these markets and economy are in worse shape now than they were during the last "economic boom" ....right now all they are doing is inflating their way out, but what they have done is create even greater problems. There are assets all over the world right now just being totally ignored ...
    Only way they know how to grow an economy is through asset bubbles and its been the same way for the last 25 years + just wait until the next collapse, this time there wont be a fix no matter how dovish yellen is haha

    Dollar is getting crushed.
    Currency induced pricing.
    A reverse split of sorts... more dollars each with less value.
