inthemoneystock — Tue, 21 May 2013 13:30:28 GMT

Light volume in play, markets slightly positive, media pumping and it looks likely the U.S. stock markets will have their 19th straight positive Tuesday. This is a roaring bull with little to stand it its way as long as the Federal Reserve is backstopping it. Yields are being kept so low by the Federal Reserve that the only possible angle for investors is to buy stocks. As stocks balloon higher, a bubble forms. It is much like musical chairs. It...

Jamie Dimon Slaps The Public And Smiles

inthemoneystock — Wed, 15 May 2013 12:27:40 GMT

"For lack of a better word, greed is good." Jamie Dimon has done some shady things as the head of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM). While JPMorgan has been fined left and right with investigations galore, apparently it matters little. Remember, if you can make $5 billion and get fined $1 billion, it is still a great trade in the realm of publicly traded companies. No ethics needed in this arena. Dimon is getting the last laugh ...

Quantitative Easing On Steroids

inthemoneystock — Fri, 03 May 2013 11:19:56 GMT

Everyone knows that asset prices are being supported by central bank money printing called quantitative easing. Central banks such as the Federal Reserve(FRB), Bank of England(BOE), and now the Bank of Japan(BOJ) are printing money at unprecedented levels. When a country can buy its own debt from money created out of thin air that money will then go into stocks and inflate the equity markets.

The markets surged higher today, erasing the large downside move from yesterday. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) hit a high of $159.81, taking out the previous all time high of $159.72. While the markets continue to hit all time highs, something is terribly wrong.
