WOW! The Euro markets responded to fundamentals, my God the horror....
The end will come when somebody with size quitely takes a short position and dump EVERYTHING. The first man out of the exit wins a lives to tell the tale.
Actually that is precisely wrong. The big boys dont want to "get out". Because that would mean they are in dollars - not something they want to be in long term.
The game is to make it as difficult as possible for average Joes and various furriners etc to be in Real Assets. The Boys have very deep pockets . So they can take down assets 50% , 70% ( eg . 2008) whatever it takes to get the Other Guys to cry "no mas" and unload their Real Assets.
Excellent point.
And at the end of they day they'll mop up any real assets they haven't bought by having the government declare the holders of those assets hoarders if they refuse to turn the assets in to the government in exchange for paper money. FDR did it. This has all happened before, and it will happen again.
Reminds me of an early episode of the Simpsons, where the nuclear plant has a fire drill, and Homer is the first out, and he barricades the doors to keep everyone else in.
Gave me a little smile.
Is this a fucking dip I can buy?
DJIA down 32 points.
BUY THE DIP!
Seriously, that's all the DJIA is ALLOWED to fall before the PPT steps in these days.
Somebody forgot to hit the "escape key" and fat fingered the sell button with the buy button at the PPT. Negative moves are not allowed at all!!
No, its only FUCKING without dip.
I will fuck the dip if she is cute or comes with a bag
Mr Head, yes, feel free to BTFD in advance of tomorrow's jobs # which should be quite bullish.
That's Dr. Head to you my America-light friend.
Waddell, dont even THINK of trying to sell those 5 Eminis this morning!!
Alas, poor Euro...
...I knew him well.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous bailouts,
Or to take arms against a sea of banksters
And, by opposing, end them. To win, to keep
"A hearse! A hearse! My kingdom for a hearse!"
LOL!!!
Alas poor digiornia. Twas not thine delivery of thine message that presented a stumbling block to your play. Twas the promise unkept.
This is the Porsche of comment streams: there is no substitute!
to tar, to feather; to feather: perchance to pillory
A bailout by any other name would smell as rank... [/r&j]
Where's CDad? Little Miss Euro getting bitch slapped.
<nevermind!>
NAZ and Russ are green...they have led the market
Its a new year, and the markets have to move one way or the other to generate the bonuses. after all, its a zero sum game. sitting their fat asses on the chair won't get them paid.
it is not that big a deal. a little supply... happens.
As a reformed (and recently released) drug dealer I happen to know about supply. This ain't your ordinary supply.
Never get high on your own supply
I do (currency) supply swaps with the other countries so technically it's not my own supply. Does that count?
I don't see why not.
I have no further concerns.
and never under estimate the other guy's greed.
I caught a case for trafficking girl but boy was the mainline game and coming straight from rwalpindi Pak
my college years were behind bars-probably best ed I coulda received.
keep your nose clean CD
I hope every day dealing with this crap makes Timmah and The Bernank age 1 year.
in sync with announcement of chicago mob running our WH
I've got to start buying ! hope I don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity .........you never know when this chance will come around again !
This is also disturbing re HFT:
Hackers find new way to cheat on Wall Street -- to everyone's perilhttp://www.infoworld.com/d/the-industry-standard/hackers-find-new-way-cheat-wall-street-everyones-peril-699
The hit will come and it will hurt
no
Tyler,
This story must be a mistake. People do not sell the market anymore...well, other than me. Selling has been made illegal, which is also why I spend most of my day in the closet hiding from FBI guys spreading out across the country looking for guys in hockey helmets.
So don't be cracking me up, dammit, or one of them might hear me and bust me for selling stocks and for having a nonconforming outlet in here.
Anyway, I just want to go on record as saying that I think Navelbook is worth 50 gajillion bananas. There, top that, bitchez!
Obama's PR magician hitting the escape button, we are, as they say, headed for interesting times.
This hooker is actually looking weak. Gold coming off the bottom and markets rolling over. The paradigm might have just shifted.
Could very well be, its has to at some point as its all a pure illusion and becomes harder each day to manitain. Is today rollover or a week or months from now? We'll see, but its coming certainly.
Never forget to look at the adjacent post about the domm that will befall us if the debt ceiling is not raised. This mini selloff is just a reminder of what can happen to the congress-critter's mutual funds if they dont comply. Have'nt we seen this before?
Intel. Intel isn't buying anyone.
Ammo running short, awaiting resupply with reenforcements...
"Sorry, you are on your own, I can not help or send reenforcements..." - (Civil war encoded message just decrypted recently)
Yeah, this is one major move alright....
If this is what we've been looking for, we're in trouble.
Letter "C" is now a $5 stock that should be a 5ct stock. Either it's comparable to the tech bubble when NASDAQ made itself = to 1/2 the DJIA (5000/10000) or the bears must finally capitulate.
Something has to change....
Yes, something does need to change. Most everyone that works at Blight of America bank should be in jail right now, for example.
We can hope...
Well, perhaps we can hope a bankster gets caught "sexting" something to Timmah....SCANDAL????
hehe - you really should'nt encourage me!
OK - so we have Bennie - his job is to keep wages down ( commodities and assets are NOT his problem). And keep zero cost money available to the Playas.
The Playas intend to own Everything. Owning T-bills is NOT a goal. Those are for the Suckas and Furrin Devils. Da Playas intend to own Corporations, Land, Property - ya know everything of ant Value.
T-Bills are of No Value - in the long run.
There is only one way to win this game. Cannot let the "market" push you around. Do your own analysis - buy what you think is valuable - for cash. no debt. Screw em - let the "market" yoyo- da Playas play. Own what you want to own - at the right price. Turn off the Boob Tube ( hmm.. that does sound so 1970s).
QUESTION: When I go to a local broker to buy gold or silver, do they track my purchase, or can I buy anonymously?
The reason I ask: if the Feds try to implement a 'hoarder' law like they did during the depression, will the Feds have a way of knowing I am holding?
They will now.
Why should they care how much you buy? All they have to do is wait for you to move or sell PMs. Hammer time.
Right. Because after all, the government over the years has demonstrated incredible effectiveness in stopping the trafficking of all sorts of items, from stolen car parts to drugs to people.
Yes I am being sarcastic. Like anyone should be worried about getting caught swapping in small transactions. I would be more worried making a small weed buy.
"... supply in the financials..."
Well, thats where everybody was running to this week, so now, Julian, now.
The guys below decks in the engine room are the first to notice when the boilers are about to blow the f*ck up. They are not required to tell anyone the boilers are about to blow the f*ck up. They don't get paid enough for that. Their only obligation is to get their asses out of the boiler room.
When you notice the engineers diving off the deck into the sea ... jump. Questions you already know the answer to you don't have to ask.
Looks like some dumb-ass is running through the threads junking people one after another for no reason.
Can the Admins pls find this idiot and remove them?
Thanks in advance.
You weren't junked so I junked you to lend credence to your cause.
Volume spike at about 127,000 contacts in 10 minutes is large, but nothing exceptional, maybe 2 sigma
