Sneaky ES Takes Out Day's Highs In Volumeless AH Session
Today's market meltup was predicated by ongoing abysmal volume. After an October which was one of the lowest volume months in the past two years, November is shaping up to be even worse. It is thus only expected that when all volume disappears, such as when the market closes, that ES will surge. Sure enough, the Emini takes out the day's high the first trading second of the AH trading session. Perhaps if someone actually traded stocks, there would be those who care.

Confounded Assholes!
Some nice arb plays there.
You would think so, but stat arb has been basically a casino since early April.
Vol arb is the name of the game on all major desks
Wow, new highs for the REITs....
Damn you Waddle & Reed. Damn you to hell.
D.E Shaw's skeleton crew must also be out off the office.... :>
In the spirit of Dodd-Frank reduces to Donk, perhaps Waddell & Reed is alphabetized and converted to ReWad , pronounced RE-WAD as in "shoot your wad".
How about - markets just got WADDED
WADDED - /?w?d?d/ verb,
1. Any change in price of greater than 1%
Origin: SEC's 2010 revelations about the power of Waddel & Reed (all your price are belong to us)
I guess Waddle & Reed had to buy a 100 lot....
NOTHING surpises me any more. The goose that lays the golden egg has been slaughtered.
That was some damn good eating!!
NOW WHAT'S FOR DESERT?!!
Or dessert? :)
more fun playing craps
Don't worry, I'm sure the SEC's got our back and is ALL over it.
banks getting more free money to throw at the markets.
there is no more moral hazard.
Bingo!!! Thats all it is.
FWIW - Damage was already done - first SPX close above 200 wma since June of 08
how is this a surprise? elections and fomc, why would anyone be trading? and the weak side is higher stocks short term. why moan, just make some money off it.
Actually JPM was a big buyer at the close. 1000 bigs.
I made the mistake of looking away from the chart for that split second and missed the whole "rally".
Here's a question for your captcha: How many ES contracts can Brian Sack buy with $ 1 Trillion USD ?
Can anyone explain the rationale and usefulness of the After Hours market? I can see why it's great for those who have a personal playground to trade on info the rest of us don't have and position themselves for tomorrows big moves while retail jerks wait to get whipsawed on the open.
Serious, is there a good reason?
More money for the exchanges, brokerages, etc. (trading fees)? And yes, for the big players too...
Actually, as lame as it sounds, the p/m and a/h session are a way to level the playing field for retail.
Since all PMs can do trades at whatever time of the day they please (but in reality are active between 4am to 8pm EST), those extended sessions (depending on your broker) allow retail folk to come in and get slaughtered/traded with.
Yep, buy the close sell the open, stock index futures will float higher overnight on no volume. It's so easy a cave man can do it. Fact index futures rise overnight 90% of the time. Very seldom will you wake up in the US and hear on any financial network "STOCK INDEX FUTURES POINT TO A LOWER OPEN"
then once the cash market opens you can simply buy any selling after the first five or ten minutes the majority of the time as the HFTs begin their mandate...

Except for Friday at the close leading to Monday's open...ooops, wrong black Monday event...that was for the accelerated shopping season this year before the 99 weekers run out of my tax dollars.
Disregard
Sweet....2.9 million shares of SPY below the LOD @ $118.57.
Computer cheaters, bitchez!
When there's nobody left to play, the HFT's will continue to rachet the markets even higher still. Makes you want to put your money in...??? Still working on that one with my PM's.
