Scoffing at the smugness of a CNBC talking head suggesting he is long-term bullish because of the Bernanke Put, TrimTabs’ CEO Charles Biderman empirically analyses the effects of QEs-past and just as we have noted again and again – highlights the fact that without at least a 15% drop in stocks, Bernanke will not ride to the rescue. Based on his analysis of wage and salary growth, he believes the US economy is now starting to contract in line with what is going on in Europe and the rest of the emerging world. Earlier this year in the US, portfolio managers hoped and prayed that what looked like rapid growth was real, “It Wasnt!”and, as we have noted, Charles adds that with earnings season starting we will see future guidance cut and this will kick the leg out from the bullish stool – leaving only the hope for another QE flush to save us. However, with the effects of Bernanke’s beneficence diminishing with each round, he suspects that we will be lucky to see a 10% rally on NEW QE.
