just like that new historical highs coming on the s$p....no risk all reward all the time.....like I mentioned last week I think were going for a 2-3% super rally this week, all indexes will close at historical highs this week...notice how they gracefully got the dow up 100 points in the first 30 mins, now another 5 hours of sideway trading until the close....rinse and repeat rinse and repeat, if this were a 100 point drop they would manage to get it positive by lunch but with a 100 point gain there is no way in hell you are going to get a buying opportunity, the buying opportunity was buying the dip last week when the bio techs sold off, this week there will be ZERO buying opportunities, it will be straight up....just keep buying the highs, you CANT LOSE!!!
Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$
- Thread starter makloda
- Start date
no past 6 years you mean, thats when this risk free bull market began....
the last minor dip happened 3 years ago, but thats been it...there have been no major corrections in years...
Borrowing is rising in the stock market as well. In March, stock-market margin debt hit $476.4 billion, the highest level in records going back more than 50 years, according to the New York Stock Exchange.
Half of the gains from Friday and today came from the overnight futures session on very little volume. The cash markets gap up on the open. Very seldom do you see the cash markets gap down on the open.

CHRISTIE’S CONTEMPORARY ART SALE NETS $852.9 M., ALL-TIME AUCTION RECORD
BY Dan Duray POSTED 11/12/14 11:59 PM
This untitled Cy Twombly from 1970 handily surpassed its estimate, $35 million to $55 million, selling for $69.6 million with premium.
(see that art piece above, just a bunch of circles that a 2nd grader can do, sells for $69.6 million dollars in November 2014, but don't tell that to the one who paid $70 million dollars or any of those working in that market, because everyone knows you can flip art and make millions in this bubble art market, Im sure this will sell for over $100 million in 2020 if it ever goes back to auction, nothing says bubble like the contemporary art market, bubble bubble bubble.....Did I say BUBBLE!!!!
Contemporary Art Surges in New York
October 2, 2014 by Karolina Prawdzik
Karolina Prawdzik is an art market researcher based in Luxembourg. She has a background in finance and alternative investments, with a special focus on luxury assets like gems and art. This is her analysis of the New York Contemporary art sales:
The result, announced on Monday, was a crushing sales success: Nearly one million more vehicles were sold in the United States last year than in 2013. According to the tracking company Autodata, 16.5 million new autos hit the streets — the highest number since the record of 16.94 million in the prerecession days of 2006.

$28.5B in bonuses, an average of $172K, breaks post-Great Recession record
Fed’s balance sheet reach $4.5 trillion
Car loans break record at $886 Billion in 4th Quarter of 2014,
highest level since the firm began publicly reporting the data in 2007
$1.2 Trillion in Student loan debt, highest in history!!
For a more dramatic look at the same data, here it is with a standard linear axis.
Record 2014 IPO MARKET.....275 deals that raised $85 billion, making it the most active year for the IPO market since 2000. Remember 2000 was when we had that dot com bubble, I'm sure most forgot by now...
Optimism was high on the private equity (PE) exit front going into 2014, but as we explain in Bain & Company’s Global Private Equity Report 2015, exits shattered even the lofty expectations of an industry primed for a good year. Worldwide, the number and value of buyout-backed exits reached new records (see figure). At better than 1,250 sales, last year’s exit count surpassed its previous peak of 1,219 transactions in 2007. And total exit value, at $456 billion, also blew past its previous record of $354 billion in 2007 and was 67% higher than it was in 2013.
Record Buy backs, there is going to be $1 TRILLION worth of buybacks this year, highest on RECORD....At the current pace, stock buyback authorizations are set to total $1 trillion this year, blowing past 2007’s record of $863 billion
Companies in the S&P 500 spent $564.7 billion on share repurchases over the past 12 months, which was a year-over-year increase of 18%, according to FactSet Research. In fact, 72% of all companies in the index bought back shares in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Ill keep the list updated and will add new records as they come along, these I listed are just some, there are plenty of more records set since the financial crisis, but this time its different as there is absolutely nothing to worry about, move along as the fed balance sheet swells to records never seen before, ....remember the fed has created the next asset bubble, its here and isnt going away until the next collapse comes...the only way to grow todays economy is though the development of asset bubbles, thats what has been happening for close to 30 years now as we have forgotten what a real economy is all about...economics 101 doesn't exist any longer and never will since the fed and central banks now control the markets and everything in between, as there is no organic growth left at all in the US everything we rely on now comes from stimulus and worthless dollars....
Just buy the cash close today, the index futures will rally tonight. Easy money to be made overnight.
