Sell, buy, whatever. As long as the fire hose is turned full on and over flowing with liquidity and the music is still playing, just call me a dancing fool.
I've got dance fever.

Impressive
Why would they do that? We're going to SPX 1300! Right? A chicken in every pot and every man a rich investor!
"Why would they do that"...are you kidding me? GS has MORE information than anyone.
GS is like Chuck Norris: it doesn't react to the market; it roundhouses the market until it succumbs the whims of the squid.
1) GS "almost" sold a few thousand but what it did sell was the high of the day. Is this a conspiracy? OF COURSE NOT!!
2) GS, however, DID set the high of the day. Any link to the following?
3) GS lowered it estimate of the NFP report, and yes this came out before 77-even traded.
4) ...HOWEVER...GS also downgraded a heretofore darling of the shit-for-brains lame stream media, RIMM, which certainly WOULD affect the market.
5) It most certainly did...which was AFTER the squid had sold a shithouse full at 1177.00.
6) It may have been just "a trade"....but can you sell thousands of bigs KNOWING what "The House" will do in a few hours (downgrade RIMM) & thus profit from it?
FELLAS...not all of the headlines from Tyler are earth shattering revelations - but can be beneficial to a trade.
Are you traders - or a bunch of sissy whiners??? Don't you want timely info?
Selling? What does that word mean?
Maybe they noticed the inventory metric within ISM data jumped to 55.3, the highest reading in over 20 years.
As a comparison, at the peak of the dot com absurdity, the highest the inventory reading got to was 52.3
But hey, we have several more quarters of strong growth as we restock inventory, right?
Ofcourse we do, ofcourse we do
It's going to sit on the shelves as nobody will be willing to pay the $10 a gallon it cost to drive to the shops.
The market feels almost euphoric today and I bet the big banks are happy to sell into this.
Are they selling puts or calls??????
Doubt their short, just starting to unload the million (financed by you, sucker) they've accumulated in the last 12 months.
just hope it's not like the call they made on the €uro
Which one, the first or the second? Oh, wait.. BWAHAHA
The call on the Euro was suggestions to their clients. Thats totally different from what they do on their own account.
who cares when God is long America!!!1
Evil will always win because good...is dumb.

Whatever. Looks like Buyers still outnumber sellers by a good margin. Our point of view is that of a pin ball. GS sees the board and runs the levers
Our point of view is that of a pin ball.
LOL. +1
Another "$100 million day" notch in the calendar. That's all folks.
Puts? Calls? Short? Long?
They sold Spoos. S&P futures. The real big ones, not the e-minis.
When someone sells that much at 1030am on the day before a holiday, they probably are not yet done. I would look for another batch once the market shakes off the initial blow and moves higher again. Also, Goldman must have at least one customer left, so maybe it's not in house.
Party out of time. Look out below.
I smell a trap. At this point, it's pretty clear that you never listen to what GS tells you directly.
GS knows exactly what they're doing by selling in the pits. Maybe they want to shake down the markets and then buy back ahead of the jobs numbers.
So far all assets have risen together. But now, it seems the joke is over and PM's & oil have broken out for real. Now we'll see how stocks perform with oil heading for $90 and with gold going who knows how high. Oh, I forgot, the LBMA is going to supply wadzillions of ounces of "physical" fully backed by GLD certificates.
how can u be sure they actually did that? some evidence would be useful...
IT'S APRIL FOOLS DAY!!!!
Where does this information come from? Just curious.
it was 1000 they offered, not several 1000. and could be on behalf of a client for all you know..these posts are awfull!
Bingo. This kind of "info" taken out of context means nothing.
10Yr / 30Yr auction announcements will crush bond, and subsequently equities ... reason for GS selling?
Could Goldman be right this time?
Here it comes?
When the complicit banks start hitting 11,000 DOW on their longs, they start unloading on the late-to-the-party hedge funds,retail buyers and so on. On the meltup, the banks transfer their forced buys(from 7 months ago) to common momentum investors at a huge profit. Mutual fund cash is now 100% deployed apparently.
During the melt up, any event that normally will bring down the market, might just crash it because the latecomers panic and dump. Maybe the "mysterious" exchange shutdowns, lost information on orders,breakers can prevent a massive crash off.
Look for 12,000 DOW-look up below!
Main Street response: Cramer said, sell sell sell
Wall Street, CNBC response: A little profit taking
Goldman, US Treasury response: We are the renter class, you pay us rent for the use of your money.
I am not defending government intervention but at this point they also know a frothy stock market isn't good long term either. So it would make sense if the PPT sold something here and began to change the chart pattern from its steep uptrend to more of a consolidation. Maybe they gamed the big S&P shorts into financing the fed a little ?
I love ZH calling out the squid's trades.
This market is smoke and mirrors, vanity, a chasing after the wind. It will deflate in terms of wheat.
Those are most of the contracts purchased in the pre-market. Nice somebody is finally able to track their manipulation. I think any of us could make billions a day if we were given huge resources and permission from the government to make things go a certain direction!
No great mystery. They are selling because they can.
Distribution might take a few weeks. Nothing goes straight up or straight down forever. MarketWatch article is brainwashing people to get used to higher interest rates - buy more equities!!!!
"But hey, we have several more quarters of strong growth as we restock inventory, right?
Ofcourse we do, ofcourse we do"
Just like they can continue to boost the bottom line by continuing to layoff workers. This thing has gone up for one reason only, liquidity.
Anyone notice Bloomberg crawler "Fink/Blackrock snubs "socialization" of money-funds
(the trial balloon floated to drain mm mutual funds) ***BACKED BY GOLDMAN***"
Who would have guessed? Any pot of deposits, the Squid wants it, to exploit it for their "rightful gain".
I doubt that this means too much, probably recycling some money. Q1 ended up and now we can have a little sell off, only to be ramped up again.
