“Fun-durr-mentals” (from the word “fundamentals”) was coined by the financial blog Zero Hedge on December 10, 2013. “Durr” means “duh” and “mentals” means “crazy.” Financial investment should be based on “fundamental,” but crazy fundamentals are “fun-derr-mentals.”
 
When a stock moves up or down for no apparent financial reason, Zero Hedge has joked that the root cause was the “fun-derr-mentals”—that is, the trading was rigged. The term “fund-durr-mentals” has been little-used outside of Zero Hedge.

WTF Chart Of The Day: Fun-Durr-Mentals Edition

Money on the sidelines? EM fixed? Expectations of a terrible jobs number tapering the taper? One thing we do know for absolute certain - this ramp in stocks has nothing whatsoever to do with fun-durr-mentals… as USDJPY 102 takes the S&P back to unch on the Taper and above its 100DMA.

Yen Breaks 103, Sends Stocks Reeling

It’s all about the fun-durr-mentals… but, just in case you don’t believe that, this morning’s angst over copper financing and China credit concerns has sparked notable carry unwinds (USDJPY below 103 and AUDJPY 93) and therefore US equities are tumbling (tick for tick).
