It's times like these David Copperfield levitating across the Grand Canyon seems a cheap imitation of the illusion the Fed is creating. NASDAQ's cumulative advance-decline line still paves the way for an experience a good bit more harrowing than Copperfield's, foretelling a day when many a tarnished jewel will be bloodied, cast upon the rocks at canyon's bottom.
Much like other major indexes, NASDAQ's levitation is strained, and yet potentially still possessing strength enough affording time to line up some dozen more unsuspecting souls willing to join the David Einhorn inspired Apple slaughter. Nevertheless, I am willing to venture when the market's current dead bank bounce has reached its zenith, this within sniffing distance of today's nose bleed territory, NASDAQ will fare poorest of all. A moribund banking system—hopelessly insolvent—and hemorrhaging sovereign treasuries should see to that.
