That makes sense. Sell quick on the dead donk bounce.
Some people trying to make a fast buck
Hmmm... the bankers are learning from their Authoritarian allies in government.

Funny, I said yesterday that somebody at CITI was lying.
Damn I am good!

I didn’t believe it anyway yesterday.
Shocker. I wouldn’t be surpised if the hype was his escape pod to unload the rest of his worthless stock at slightly less of a loss.
Experts tell CNBC the Citigroup memo may have been misunderstood and banking stocks are still risky.
Citigroup's Profitability in Question
A memo by Citigroup's CEO that the company is doing well this quarter may be misunderstood by the market, says Jeff Fisher, senior analyst at The Motley Fool. He tells CNBC that it is a "shade of grey" as to whether the company will really be profitable.
The power of the pen.
Good analysis.
If true, the jump in the stock market yesterday was based on smoke, mirrors and bs.
makes the Warren Buffet interview even more of a pump and dump scenario.
The jump in the market was due to (mostly) a discussion by the SEC, Congress, and FASB to suspend mark to market. That was what the insiders were looking at. The presstitutes were screaming about citi’s phantom two months of profit. The insiders are anticipating that the banks can stop writing off their toxic assets for a while and keep some regulatory capital. That’s whay the bank stocks went through the roof yesterday, not citi’s BS.
Most gains in the stock market are based on smoke and mirrors these days Grampa D, “earnings ratios” are merely quaint reminders of times past and hype and opinion are the driving force behind the markets.
I would be willing to bet that even now, stock values are still way above a historical norms.
This link is a very scary find.
If Citi’s CEO’s internal memo was leaked to drive the market up, someone should be going to jail for fraud.

And maybe cut down on all the exclamation points and vulgarities, too, yeah?
today on CNBC all the experts were saying beware the bottom blip.
The market will drop again, the bottom has to be repeately tested.
Just wait to see if obama speaks again. Notice how the rich old white guy surrogates go out and speak and the market goes up.
Now the WH has surrogates going on the financial channels and being smiley face goebles about the messiah’s amazing pork-o-rama.
The markets are self correcting and the obamacrats are trying to jump in front of the parade. See Obama stopped man made solar eclipsing.
