Market Volume Explodes To Third Highest Since Flash Crash As FNSR Implodes For Second Time In A Row

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/15/2011 16:41 -0400

Stock volume, hiding for so long, finally made an appearance. The all dominating ES, which determines the stock price for virtually every other security in the stock market, surged to 3.7 million shares, the 3rd highest in 2011, with only the post-Fukushima nuclear explosion panic from March, when the Nikkei briefly went bidless, higher, and also the third highest since the Flash Crash days of last May. As reported earilier, now that all support lines have been breached, the next bounce can be expected at around 1,244 or the 200 DMA. Should that be taken out and it will be to make way for Operation Twist 2, we will promptly see the 1,150s once again. After that, we are straight down to Jackson Hole levels.

There was, however, one stock that was not determined by the ES, especially in After Hours trading: FNSR. Just like back in March when it tumbled by 15% on weak guidance, and the warning that "the Company will be impacted by...a slowdown in business in China overall" which prompted us to warn back in March that this is the "beginning of the end for the tech bubble" so the firm just defecated the bed once again, once again preannouncing that " the Company indicated that it currently expects revenues

to be in the range of $215 to $230 million; GAAP operating margin to be in

the range of approximately 4% to 6%; non-GAAP operating margin to be in

the range of 8% to 10% and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share to be in the

range of approximately $0.17 to $0.21." This compares with street estimats of $253 million and EPS consensus of $0.37.

This is what happened once the stock was reopened at 4:30.

Plunge.

Bottom line: another Cramer momo stock up in flames.

It is just another reason to buy more cheaper. If you don"t belive me listen to Cramer tonight.

Getting back to even isn't as easy as it looks.....BOOYAH.

From March 15, 2011:

Mad Money" host Jim Cramer may have sparked communications chip maker Finisar (NASDAQ: FNSR - News) to a gain of 4% when he mentioned the stock as a possible winner due to increased Japanese demand as part of an anticipated rebuilding effort. Cramer said coming increased demand for products that Finisar makes could cure sales and inventory concerns surrounding the company.

These chips, are they lead shielded?

The stock market is said to "climb the wall of worry". But there isn't yet a cliche for climbing a mountain of hopelessness.

They're just diversifying their portfolio, honest.

I'm still in a negotiation for a substantial raise :(

I'd better try to speed things up with my boss.

DAMN HOLLIDAY SEASON!

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 17:05 | 1372612 achmachat

I had a boss until July 2008.

I didn't like it.

I made stuff, his name is on it.

now I make stuff, my name is on it.

I like it.

Had a boss.

Got rid of the boss.

Why?

All my thoughts was occupied by Boss micromanaging first my work then my life off work.

Now wife micromanages me off time with honey do lists.

Never take a lateral move.

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 16:59 | 1372591 A Man without Q...

I'm still unsure whether this is all a pre-planned rout in order to give the excuse for QE whatever, (i.e. print more money) or whether they are losing control. Given how much further oil fell than stocks, I have a hunch it's the former, but precious metals were pretty resilient, which is what I'd expect with the latter...

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 17:24 | 1372658 So Close

I am cautiously optimistic this is a tip toe toward normalcy.

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 18:14 | 1372788 Arius

my hunch is the deer is moving...

You see the first deer but not the 4 or 6 that follow behind.

Butchery.

I have no doubt. But what I doubt is the longevity of its effectiveness this time around now that inflation is smacking bernanke on the forehead, like Moe on Curley.

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 16:56 | 1372593 The Axe

This deal has happen 5 to 6 times before....downside selling on huge volume...then a pause...no volume melt-up.. time and time again......I rather place my head in a vice...

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 17:14 | 1372639 Takingbets

I'd take the vice too! I don't trust that this all isn't just a head fake to sucker the shorts back in for another fleecing. ;-)

Volume is back, and he is pissed off...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGPhUr-T6UM

If I'm correct, the VIX broke the downtrend made up of the three declining spikes? (I'm not next to a terminal right now)

Now, a spike + volume is good right?

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 17:07 | 1372620 mayhem_korner

Out with FNSR, in with Mauser M 98 as the new "new tech" wave

8-D

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 17:14 | 1372630 RobotTrader

Yep, and the VIX and VXN made new highs for the move already.

So can we possibly have two strong selling days in a row? Is that allowed?

Futures going green say NO!

Look for more doctored gdp data tomorrow which will, of course, be revised downward at a later, and less volatile, date.

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 17:30 | 1372663 r101958

POMO tomorrow.....no?

Almost every major stock index around the world is flat or down for the year, including most emerging markets. Kinda has the feel of a trend, to me.

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 17:56 | 1372733 MacGruber

If by trend you mean transitory.

Something's not quite right in the matrix today.

I traded this from $22 (DCA) to $27 last implosion, dipped my toe in at $14.94, probably early

1 step forward, 2 steps backward.

The current market dance.

Pull the plug as QE2 fades.

Get the sheep participant players back onto the Dollar train.

Prop up the garbage US paper and therefore the fading empire, one more decade.

Doubtful but might just work.

Tyler called that spx 1240 like a glove!!!!!! It blew right thru. that level in the 1268-72 range. Nice work Tyler!

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 18:30 | 1372878 fiddler_on_the_roof

I look like an ass now for thinking S&P going up. But I hold my bets for now.

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 18:48 | 1372912 razorthin

What should have longs a bit nervous is that so far the decline has been far too quiet and orderly. A VIX in the 30's might be required for a reversal. That of course would mean a swift and major swoon for the indices. Like -300 to -400 points, not this sub -200 manipulated bullshit.

That said, LDK Solar looking good with good RS.

The stack of smokeables keeps growing so quickly even I can't keep up

Perhaps the makers of Club rolling papers should consider a production run of product stamped with facsimile stock/bond certificates and demand notes of interesting companies & sovereigns

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 21:28 | 1373244 nmewn

Hmmm, Zig Zag ;-)

The problem of course is, as soon as you go short they see it. I'll continue to stand on the sidelines and eat popcorn.

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 21:35 | 1373254 Miles Kendig

And I'll stick with Ginger & Ale. ;)

I guess I'll never live that one down.

Clearly, I need to polish up my manly beverage image, maybe something with an umbrella in it while wearing a tu tu ;-)

Damn it!...I like Jameson & Ginger...LOL!

RIMM next. Moving down ever so nicely.

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 19:36 | 1373040 razorthin

did I mention I prefer blackberries?

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 20:08 | 1373113 Greeny

Yeah, that guy toasted, shorting RIMM, can smell BBQ already.. I do not

have any position in the stock but, there is so

many stocks to short.. RIMM..? I think it will be bought

very soon at least for $50/share and that's cheap, real

cheap, It's not some kind of freaking Pendora with nothing

behind.. :)

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 19:53 | 1373090 chump666

and also point is, now the shortselling, could be a perfect storm on China and EZ. If metal prices tumble next 24hrs all risk on hanging by a thread are gonna go

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 19:57 | 1373096 Greeny

What FNSR has to do with overall Market?

Market Cap just over 1.5B. What is the point?

Should everything crash just because some crappy

financial stock is down on heavy volume? They

all been down for quite sometime now.. But somewhat

stable anyways.. Don't search for 2008 event :)))

Ain't there..

Thu, 06/16/2011 - 07:33 | 1373824 EB

"@ES" is a point adjusted continuous futures contract. "@ES=12VON" will more closely track the cash and SPY.
