Rosenblatt Securities Confirms Stock Market's Slow, Painful Death Rattle
Not only is consolidated stock activity plunging, with Rosenblatt Securities confirming a 50% drop in August action YoY, but ever more are shifting their trading patterns to dark venues. This is yet another checkmark confirming that "stock markets" are nothing more than a venue for institutions to play hot potato with each other, as retail wants nothing to do with this joke of a manipulated market. From Rosenblatt securities:"The bad news is that non-displayed venues are taking a bigger slice of a shrinking pie. August consolidated activity is on pace to fall even more dramatically (~35% sequentially and ~50% YOY), suggesting something beyond just the typical summer doldrums." In other news, the final draft of the obituary for capital markets is now running through the spell-check.
From Rosenblatt securities:
Dark pools executed a greater share of US equity
trades last month as volatility declined from June levels. The 16
non-displayed venues we track executed 10.86% of total volume in July,
up from a revised 10.45% in June and the third-highest market share ever
for the group. The bad news is that non-displayed venues are taking a
bigger slice of a shrinking pie. Aggregate dark-pool volume was 892.6
million shares per day in July, down 8% from the previous month’s 969.8
million. Consolidated volume declined by 11% during the same period and,
more significantly, was off 6% year-over-year (see “The Numbers” table on next page).
August consolidated activity is on pace to fall even more dramatically
(~35% sequentially and ~50% YOY), suggesting something beyond just the
typical summer doldrums.
The market, as it was once known, is slowly dying before our eyes. And nobody cares.

Slow death collapse, eventually liquidation of the non-performing liabilities... come back in a generation or two.
"And nobody cares."
Caring has nothing to do with it, all the "care" in the world is not going to change the Math to keep the system going. The caring should have taken place when your parents or grandparents started yet another system based on usury thinking the result was going to be different.
The market is doing exactly what it is suppose to be doing.
- Expand
- Peak
- Fail to expand
- Collapse <-- you are at the very beginning process of this
- Liquidate
- Stupid lemmings have a choice, they pick the same choice thinking the end result is going to be different... rinse and repeat
I laugh, you guys are crying now, wait till you guys are liquidating one another.
Mako, who are the "you guys" you refer to?

Mako, who are the "you guys" you refer to?
The ones that are crying.
I am laughing, singing, smiling, dancing...
Every time an asset goes through one of my put strikes, I turn the volume up.
Hungry,
Clearly you're catching the "I'm not swimming in the (same) cesspool you are" vibe from Mako. Wait until you see one of his posts where he refers to "you humans" using the "above it all" tense. Which leads us all to rightfully assume Mako is one of those lizard people David Icke talks about. It might explain the bag over his head. :>)
I care. Show me criminal indictments from top (banks, securitization, Fannie & Freebie) to borrowers with "inflated incomes".
USA - prosecution for sale.
That is not the reason you are here and will have no impact on the final conclusion.
Could you please clarify, Mako?
Your system is based on the false assumption that supply and demand can increase exponentially long-term. Everyone is running from the Truth. Eventually the Truth is going to catch up to you.
If you lock up all the criminals, there would be nobody to lock the door.
There is nothing that can be done, the only thing that can be done is not to start the same foolish system up next time. The final result has been known, just like the last time, and the time before that.
The market is doing exactly what it was designed to do... which is peak and collapse. I fail to see why everyone is so suprised.
Mako: I have suspected for some time that you are some type of mole. Your use of "usury" instead of debt and "your system" instead of "our system" is beginning to confirm my suspicion. I know that many public forums in the US have been invaded by islamist and socialist elements in order to confuse the masses and get them to question their opinions.It looks like that strategy has now found its way to ZH, as well.
Yeah, I am part of a huge conspiracy. It's "our" system because you believe the lie. I assure you if everyone was like me the system would crease to exist. You can believe whatever you want to believe. You are free to do whatever you wish to do, not much I can do to stop you. I can tell you the end result of any system based incorrect assumptions in this case... Good luck to ya.

As you are probably aware, plans for the
development of the outlying regions of the
galaxy involve the building of a
hyperspace express route through your star
system...
JELTZ
...and, unfortunately, your planet is one
of those scheduled for demolition. The
process will take slightly less than two
of your Earth minutes. Thank you.
JELTZ (INTO THE P.A.)
There's no point in acting all surprised
about it. The plans and demolition orders
have been on display at your local planning
office in Alpha Centauri for fifty of your
Earth years, so you've had plenty of time
to lodge formal complaints.
Our system worked fine, too, until a certain someone ate the fairy cake.
You have to love the infinite improbability drive. :) Nice one.
Not to mention spending a year dead for tax reasons. Maybe I should change my name to Hotblack Desiato.
Ah the good old possum fu tax evasion scam. Good times. Good times.
That explains the screeching car wreck charts have become. Thanks to HFT's playing paddy-cake with each other, they're merely trying to make price pass through all possible points at once.
"Powered by Price Improbability Drive" is more like it, lol
"Mako: I have suspected for some time that you are some type of mole. Your use of "usury" instead of debt and "your system" instead of "our system" is beginning to confirm my suspicion."
Uh, yeah, that was a pretty big tell. We should get a game of texas hold 'em going around here.
Mako is just a guy with no faith in the people, not even the few that do understand our system is screwed...and would like to change it. Apparently, everyone on this Earth is fvcked in his opinion and from what I gather, humanity will not survive.
We know compound interest and the way our economy is currently run encourages exponential growth in a finite resource world...WE GET IT.
"Mako is just a guy with no faith in the people"
The act or acts have already been committed, my faith or lack of faith in people have no bearing on the end results which will be coming down the pike. There is a result of choices previously made, not much I can do about it.
"humanity will not survive"
Never once predicted that. Of course that is always a possibility. I have no evidence that humans will be here forever, I suspect one day humans will not be on this floating rock. I have no idea when that will be.
Either way, the system is doing exactly what it was designed to do. Not much you are going to do to stop it. Kind of like throwing yourself in front a train in the hopes you will slow it down. Good luck kiddo I am pulling for you.
You allude to nobody coming out of this in most every one of your posts...
You say "Kind of like throwing yourself in front a train in the hopes you will slow it down. Good luck kiddo I am pulling for you."
Just what in the hell are you talking about? What train am I throwing myself in front of? I'm doing my damnedest to get the fvck out of the way.
Give it up, dude. We know what angle you are taking. I think most of us agree with you that we are fvcked because of past policies/choices. Some of us are trying to prepare. We could be right, we could be wrong....what the fvck are you doing about it?
Not much I can do about "it". Hopefully, I can pound some sense into a few lemmings not to do this again. I predict I will fail in my hopes. Either way, it should be fun.
I am not the one writing articles about "caring" and thinking "caring" for a system that is designed to imploded is even relevant.
And there it is in black and white text. Mako's abusive tone is inflicted upon the ZH Community because it's fun and he speaks with the same justification and attitude as all abusive personalities aka school yard bullies. He tries to temper the obvious by saying "Hopefully, I can pound some sense in a few lemmings not to do this again" which is the swan song of all abusive people. "I'm beating the shit out of you for your own good. Now shut the fuck up while I beat you."
"It's not me, it's you because you're slow, stupid, dumb, ignorant, ugly and vulnerable and I can beat the shit out of you because I want to and I like to." The very fact that Mako sees it as his responsibility to "pound some sense in the few lemmings" shows his benevolent attitude to those he's pounding away on.
And of course it's done on the ZH web site where the abused understand for the most part how their government and the powers that be are already abusing them. In other words, abuse is only effective if the abused knows s/he is suffering the abuse and thus cries out in pain.
Sorry Mako but your Idi Amin personality disorder is on display in all its glory.

Mako also predicted some time ago that because of "the math" agricultural production in the U.S. would sink to zero - not just decline but disappear altogether.
+5
Nonsense. Mako's talking simple math, and he's right. Amazing how few people understand simple math.
Well said.

They are all running from the Truth. As soon as the masses acknowledge the Truth, a huge hole will open underneath the feet of the lemmings. Unfortunately, for the lemmings the Truth is catching up to them.
Either way they are going down the pit.
"The Architect - Denial is the most predictable of all human responses. But, rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed it, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it."
There is no absolute truth Mako.
Sure there is.
I agree - It is "absolutely true" that Mako is a douche!
Could be, at least I smell ok. :)
Either way the final result is set in stone.
I am pulling for all you lemmings. Watching you run is quite entertaining, can't wait to see the fireworks.
Put a sock in it, mate.
Too bad he's right. It's a fraud. A fraud has a beginning a middle and an end. It continues to run until it exhausts itself of believers. Just as a powerful engine continues to run until it exhausts itself of fuel. They don't call it getting burned for nothing.
Argueing with it won't help. Until people are tired of being gasoline nothing can put the fire out.
I wasn't arguing. I think most people here get it, and basically agree. So, we're not learning anything, and as a result constantly being called a lemming becomes rather tiresome. (And I'm not even a lemming - more of a bacterium on a flea on a lemming, if anything.)
The lemmings aren't here. They don't read ZH. Mako's attempts to "help" them will do no good here. Go to the Yahoo boards and find yourself some lemmings.
Ya. I said he was right about the issue. I didn't say that he wasn't completely disconnected from who or where he was being right.
Exactly. Mako is here to abuse and nothing more. See my comment above.
Said comment was spot on (and incidentally made me feel better, so thanks!).
Rocky - Your first three sentences mirror the point I was attempting to make (badly). So I hope your final sentence wasn't aimed at me. My 'bacterium' comment was intimating that when an entire cliff collapses, it doesn't matter if you would have blindly jumped off it or not, you still plummet. Some of us can't afford guns, gold and a farm in an inaccessible location! I'm glad some can, though! - they will be important when TSHTF.
No. Sorry about the misplaced comment. I was just piling-on. You got squished in the melee.
Safe. "Squished in the melee" - there's a forward-looking statement if ever I saw one! :)
Take it easy "Rothschild", and come down from the 2" pedestal you think you are on.
By partaking in this silly banter, you include your self as one of the heard.
Arguing the contrary would be futile and an admission.
There is no absolute truth Mako
Hansel, Does that include your statement?
I always preferred turkeys to lemmings. They run from one side of the cage to the other trying to avoid the axe, yet all somehow end up as dinner.
Ding!

Im interested to hear your thoughts on risk vs. fraud.
Risk is not bad, it's when it is combined with fraud that has my attention.
You make a good point that illustrates the symptom, if everyone is committing fraud (or breaking laws for the edge) is that what you mean by participating?
Committing fraud itself is a risk, no? Shouldn't prosecution to deal with fraud naturally effect risk? How is fraud-risk priced into the market (or not)?
TYLER! FOR GOD'S SAKE!
You forgot to bring out the >10.000 DOW CAP!!
I'm sorry man... that's a -1 on your reportcard...
One could go bald taking the cap off, putting it back on.
Look at Art Cashin!
just another symptom of the great unraveling of the last 250 years of euro-american ascendancy into a collapsed tangle of kindling that will probably lead to a holocaust of world war in our lifetime. oh, well...
Going to go green today for sure. Anyone see the last few minutes pump in SPX? Holy crap this is too obvious that this is manipulated....way to try to lure retail back. Problem is these manipulated moves cause retail to flee even faster.
+1
They ramp the dollah up all night long, then it starts to fade as the euro mrkts wind down, which can ramp our mrkts if necessary.
And lately - It has been a necessary action by the PPT to prevent catastrophic market collape, as it is better to wring every last retail $ before the baracudas in the pool begin to feed upon each other.
<sarcasm off>
dark pools may not shine but my silver and gold coins do, the latter two of which (other than shorts) seem to be the only investment worthy of the name.
Hey Mako,
I know you speak with infallibility while on your astro-throne, while 'we' go through whatever machinations you think 'we' ALL do, but, a few corrections
1 peak = fail to expand
2 collapse = liquidate
Other than that, you're almost as good as Polonius -- might want to borrow "neither a borrower nor lender be" -- he did really well with that one too
Rinse - repeat
Look. Johnny Bravo left some pretty big shoes to fill. Mako is doing his best.
the final draft of the obituary for capital markets is now running through the spell-check.
Classic!
There will be a market again at the right price. A bunch of banks masterbating with free money is not the market. The public is the market, despite the arrogant claims of the bankers.
Very true Quinvarius. With these artificial price inflations the market has no real way to go but down. QE did nothing but create a stock bubble, all be it was a small on when compared to other stock bubbles. Once the manipulation stops and everything falls to a true supply-demand price, then we can have sustainable and organic growth again.
Oh, there'll be a new market after the death of the old one, for sure. However, most of what's traded will be chickens, cattle, and bushels of grain and veg. Let the cranks have their fucking paper back...it's worthless anyway.
IS IT SAFE?
http://williambanzai7.blogspot.com/2010/08/is-it-safe.html
Is that the creepy dude from Matathon Man?
In that case, No...It's not safe!
LMAO
That's just it....
A handful of large acounts does not a market make....
....................
Defrag the exchanges,,,no dark pools or outside matching of any sort....
All public securities of any type have to trade on it....
.....................
Size limitations....
Funds cannot be of the size whereby prices are self- fulfilling....or can be controlled to a large degree....
......................
Just like the "Harvard Princeton Yale Club" has turned the middle class into serfs....and thus biting the hands that feed THEM....
The time for a complete restructuring of the public exchange is long overdue....
....................
This time around on a BATS style model with a Swiss domicile....far away from the SEC/Corporate Fascist regime....
..................
The exchange needs to go RETAIL...2 billion personal retail accounts pushing their personal computer buttons based on wiki format information....paying no more than 20 cents per 100 units....the banks should service this....and not be allowed in the public arena outside of servicing RETAIL.....
Thx for posting - your points are worth sincere contemplation...
Skynet has ordered a short squeeze today. Skynet does not like negativity input. Obama on vacation is good thing for America. Skynet can work autonomous. Skynet end.
+1 LOL....this market is so rigged by the robots its unreal, so pathetic it has come to this
Would be funny to see a hacker get into a couple of HTF firms and just type the simple comand </HF STOP>.
Skynet just crossed 1050.50. Skynet can hear shorts sweating. Sweating not good for heart rate. You cover short, Skynet will forgive you. You stay short, Skynet will destroy you.
Skynet just crossed 1050.50. Skynet can hear shorts sweating. Sweating not good for heart rate. You cover short, Skynet will forgive you. You stay short, Skynet will destroy you.
Skynet just crossed 1056.25. Shorts screaming foul. Skynet doesn´t care. Routine job.
Just an FYI, we are up 1% from the low of the day. Nice BS rally there.
Well, it's because of all the good news.
Just send it raw. We can all decode the matrix in our head.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-vPd9qsvMg&feature=related
Buy and hold for the long-run.
Unless, of course, you aren't a complete moron.
So capitalism drowns in capital. We can thank the liquidity providers for that.
Mako is right, it's all a bunch of cycles and the happy medium would otherwise be a flatline on the big heart monitor. Can't have ups without downs. If he climbed out of his rathole and joined the rest of us rodents lined up on the keel of the sinking ship, he'd probably be happier though. Misery loves company.
"The Age of Kali" will come to an end, eventually.
Thanks for such a great post and the review, I am totally impressed! Keep stuff like this coming!...
