2pm update - relentless melt

Its just another day of algo-bot melt..fuelled by POMO $. How many more trading days will be necessary for the bears to fully capitulate? 50, 100, 500? Will it really take 1000 days for the very last bear in this market to understand what was meant by Bernanke last September when he announced QE3 t-bond buying (POMO)..'without end'.

Which part of 'without end' is confusing? It is the 'without'.. or the 'end' ?

I sure see a lot of bear maniacs posting cute little pics of a tiny little QE3/4 box on index charts..yet...for some reason they are making the bizarre notion that this QE is going to end. I don't get it, but then I happen to believe 'without end' means..the money printing is not scheduled to end.

I guess I'll remain the only one highlighting that little 'minor issue'.

Summary

So much for the VIX showing any strength, a close in the 12s now looks easily within range.

If Market likes the econ-data tomorrow, 1510/20s. but hey....even if its lousy numbers..what does it matter? Bulls have the algo-bots..and the Bernanke $.

--
AMZN earning at the close.

Very hard to guess whether that nonsense will ramp 20% on even lower - or NO margins, or whether they'll whack it 10/20% lower..only for it melt back higher into the spring.

After all, its AMZN, and it remains surrounded by hysteria.

back after the close.
