Sell Orders Overwhelm WOPR As 10 Year Recaptures 2.99%

Tyler Durden's picture




 

We may have missed the official 8-K, but we are fairly confident that sell orders were made illegal over the past three weeks. That is the only way to explain that out of 30 economic data points in the past month, roughly 3 beat expectations, everything else was a miserable miss, and still the market is 10% higher. Either way, someone is clearly about to be charged with a felony stock selling offense in the first degree, and Eric Holder will personally make sure that vile individual rots in Guantanamo Bay with a daily portion of algorithmic waterboarding for the rest of their miserable lives, for having the temerity to show to others that, yes, even illegal, selling can and will be the right trade in this market which is roughly 70%-100% overvalued. And in other news the 10 Year is back below 3%. Too bad there is no 8 Year point on the curve, or else stocks would be about to reprise the role of Jesus Quintana.

The part of Cardinal Ximinez is played by Eric Holder

 

Cardinal Ximinez: *Nobody* expects the Financial Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise, surprise and fear, fear and surprise. Our *two* weapons are fear and surprise, and ruthless efficiency. Our *three* weapons are fear and surprise and ruthless efficiency and an almost fanatical dedication to the pope. Our *four*... No... Amongst our weapons... Amongst our weaponry are such elements as fear, sur- I'll come in again.

Surely he has made some sort of deal with Apple to hire these folks on furlough days to break down doors, write creative nonsensical reasons as to how software will fix the iphone, pass the collection basket at the cult gatherings or just stand around Apple stores acting like they want to buy an iPad.

Support the markets? You kidding me? I haven't traded in nearly a month. Was short until then but felt the cheerleaders might take it higher on "amazingly great" earnings reports. Just waiting it out until some real volume comes back and it starts to get exciting again.

I'm with Harry on this one.

When trading resumes in the fall, you watch this sucker slide down.

The economy is not just slowly grinding to a halt, it's hitting a brick wall in 3,2,1 ...

Euro Libor is indicative of the real economy. This is where the rubber meets the road.

There's propaganda and CNBC and there's true business climate where nobody wants to make any investments (see Irwing Inc. and refinery in Canada) or the banks don't trust each other.

Eventually this game of "whack the mole" is getting too exhausting for Ben and Tim.

The real economy is the individual that has to assume responsibility for his or her expensive finacial decision whether at home or in business.

Nobody wants to get slaughtered.

Fox just reported that the new financial overhaul legislation included a provision making the SEC immune to Freedom of Information requests.

Gee, I wonder why they don't want to answer any questions.

The bill also makes it easy for the Exec Branch to seize businesses, both "bank" and non-bank", in the words of the bill.

So the combination of the two, including the implications that you have alluded to, makes it easy for Obama to take over businesses without intervention of the Courts or recourse for the business' owners.

I shudder to think where we're headed.

Nothing to see here, we're just applying to the financial sphere the lessons we learned in the Global War on Terror. Thus, the Freedom of Information Act gets laid to rest alongside habeas corpus. The SEC gets promoted to the same level of impunity that Homeland Security has long enjoyed. Favored government agencies will now get fully funded without the need for an actual budget. Starting next April, IRS audits will include waterboarding, for both banks and non-banks. It's really no big deal, see? Filing 1099's for every transaction over $600 will soon come as naturally as being strip-searched at the airport.

BWWAA-HA-AH-HAH-hah-ah-hah-ha-ha...ahhh.
Holder ain't doing nothin' no how... Has that guy even shown up to work yet?

After all Holder won the 2010 Empty Suit of the Year Award...

No Wall Street Prosecutions, no convictions, no indictments... So far Holder is pitching a perfect game.

Dear Old Lady: I don't know what you're talking about.

Drip after drip of deflation data

Today’s release on manufacturing activity by the Richmond Fed is pretty ghastly, as you would expect given that the effects of fiscal stimulus are now wearing off at accelerating pace – before the happy handover to the private sector is safely consummated – and given that the structural East-West imbalances that lay behind the global crisis are getting worse again.

The expectations index for the US 5th District is crumbling:

This follows yesterday’s horrendous fall in the Texas business activity index from the Dallas Fed, which fell from -4 in June to -21 in July. “Thirty-one percent of firms reported a worsening of activity, up from 22 percent in June,” said the bank.

Texas New Orders were -9.6 in July, -8.2 in June, and +15.8 in May.

Capacity Utilization was -0.6 in July, +2.7 in June, and +18.7 in May.

The CIC selling 1.2 billion worth of MS stock in this low volume market. Who was the other side of that trade w/o causing that stock to collapse?

Irwing Inc. canceling a refinery project worth 8 billion in Canada for the US Northeast market after spending 80 million on feasibility is a strong vote of NON CONFIDENCE on the US economy.

Don't care if the officials are willing to admit it.

WE ARE IN A FUCKING DEPRESSION AND THE PROPAGANDA IS NAUSEATING.

When things things don't go to plan, management and government can be
remarkably persistent.

      This is otherwise known as - The Corporate Approach to Dead Horses .....

The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from one generation to the next, says that when you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.  But in modern business (education and government), because heavy investment factors are taken into consideration, other strategies are often tried with dead horses, including the following:

1. Buying a stronger whip.

2. Changing riders.

3. Threatening the horse with termination.

4. Appointing a committee to study the horse.

5. Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses.

6. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.

7. Reclassifying the dead horse as "living-impaired".

8. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.

9. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.

10. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase the dead horse's
    performance.

11. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead
    horse's performance.

12. Declaring that the dead horse carries lower overhead and therefore
    contributes more to the bottom line than some other horses.

13. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.

14. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.
