Market Madness: Geopolitical Chaos Sparks Biggest "Dash-For-Trash" In 17 Months

Courtesy of ZeroHedge. 

Since The Fed's extension of Operation Twist (and subsequent unveiling of QE3) in 2012, the stocks of "weak balance sheet" companies are up over 100%. In that same period, the stock prices of "strong balance sheet" companies are up a mere 43%.

 

The "dash-for-trash" that the Fed's financial repression forced upon an investing public has enabled the worst companies to not only survive (creating yet another mal-investment boom) but squeezed their share prices to thrive. The reason we bring this up is simple…

 

This last week of exuberant equity market performance in the face of unimaginable geopolitical possibilities saw "weak balance sheet" stocks outperform "strong balance sheet" stocks by their most in 17 months. In other words, amidst all the chaos and uncertainty 'investors' drove the biggest dash for trash since March 2013.

Because what's the first thing you do when the world pushes towards the edge of World War III… buy the junkiest stocks and sell the best quality ones… Of Course!!

And the reasons Goldman say it will continue… well we discussed them before – what a farce.
