From a GS distribution to clients:
And there you have it - the top in frontrunning the Federal Reserve is now in.On the interplay between the FED and STOCKS: Since Sept 1 – when QE was becoming a mainstream focus – if you only owned S&P on days when the Fed conducted Open Market Operations (in US Treasuries), your cumulative return is over 11%. in addition, 6 of the 7 times when S&P rallied 1% or more, OMO was conducted that day. this compares to a YTD return of 5.8%. the point: you would have outperformed the market 2x by being long on just the 16 days when – this is the important part – you knew in advance that OMO was to be conducted. The market's performance on the 19 non-OMO days: +70bps.
The most recent Fed POMO calendar is linked (there is one tomorrow). Frontrun away.
Oh, and Ben, your criminal organization will one day pay for making a complete manipulated travesty out of capital markets.
