Fading Scarecrows

The lower than consensus jobs number is a blessing in disguise.  The market doesn't need more jobs.  The market needs more free money.  QE3 will always be lurking with these kind of jobs numbers.  The scarecrows will be chirping loudly today.  Their moment to shine has come, finally after repeated beatings.  But it will be fleeting.  By next week, we should be back towards 52 week highs.  Getting long and blocking out the noise from CNBC and the financial media.  Earnings expectations are surprisingly low, considering the monster rally.  Earnings should be a catalyst for further rallying.  The UPOD strategy by CFOs will fool the sheep again into thinking that earnings are good.  That should be good for a quick bounce off this dip.

QE3 is political dynamite, the only way to diffuse is to get this market down 10% or more... Big Ben needs more radical options and to get politicians on board he needs them to be scared. No fear yet... I am pressing shorts for now into every bounce.

Banana Ben is an in your face money printer. You think he cares about politicians? He's the LeBron James of money printers. He'll stuff money in your face like LeBron stuffs basketballs. Nothing will stop him. No regrets, no remorse. Banana Ben fills up a balance sheet like LeBron fills up a box score.

They will liquify without using the term QE3. That's what operation twist was. They have an arsenal of liquification tools
