WTF Chart Of The Day: Explaining The Surge In US Retail Sales

My main article confirmed again with the latest government lies, propaganda and manipulations.

Tyler Durden's picture

Confused at how such awesome retail sales headlines can lead to the kind of weakness we are seeing in stocks now that Lending Club’s IPO has started trading? Wondering why bonds are now lower in yield on the day in the face of ‘proof’ that the US consumer is back? Wonder no more, as STA Wealth Management’s Lance Roberts points out, November’s seasonal adjustment for retail sales was – drum roll please – the 3rd largest on record… so maybe, just maybe, the ‘market’ is seeing through that pure riggedness, wondering about the huge surge in continuing claims, and agog at the blowout in credit spreads and collapse in crude…

 

Seriously?!! The 3rd largest November seasonal adjustment on record… why? and remember retail sales only beat by 0.1ppt!

 

Speechless, yet?

Well look at this…

 

Rigged much?

How sad. Everything has become the work of spin doctors.

They laugh and show their contempt for us by putting these phoney numbers out to their puppets at the MSM to trumpet on the air waves all day.

When will accountability for such actions as willful lying to manipulate markets and elections return?

You can bet they are taking positions in the markets before reporting this BS for the dim to act on.
