A Totally Unmanipulated Melt Up
In what can hardly be described as a travesty of efficient markets, the Dow closed at the perfectly normal level of 10,997.35 after the complete lack of a concerted effort by the primary dealers to reroute recently acquired capital into stocks that are now trading at triple digit forward multiples. Fear not - the resilient U.S. consumer who now realizes that no contracts have to be honored (courtesy of a unrepentant skeleton) and instead all money must be rerouted into shares of Pets.com, will make sure that the market is and always will be a leading indicator to a 400% debt/GDP economy. Also ignore that the Dow hit 11100.98 as if possessed by a mysterious GETCO DMMon, that was also perfectly explainable. After all, over the weekend, as Morgan Stanley whisper expectations indicate, Greece will default. That, together with an imminent meteor impact that is set to wipe out humanity and leave SkyNet in charge of trading stocks, should be sufficient for newly crowned Supreme Justice 80286 to make offers of any securities not only illegal but punishable by lethal and prompt use of Norton Antivirus software and/or H2O.
And a special message to all those who made this impossible market possible:

If I convert that binary to ASCII... will it say something? Or will I be a complete dork, having wasted 20 minutes of my life?
It's a key to your success in Monday market, so my advice is to decode it!
B========D~~~~
Swearing at alogos is not trading advice.
http://www.theskull.com/javascript/ascii-binary.html
the approxiamate hexadecimal translation is ...buy...the...dips...buy...the...dips..., etc.
0100 110
Uh.... what?
Don't understand? Don't worry it's got as much sense as today's market.
They just got a bit overheated.
GS has people at NASA
GETCO didn't get the memo. Still Had the HFT set to sell at 1192.5 on the S&P.
Gosh, I wonder if the market will be higher on Monday?
I think Skynet became self-aware today. Monday may be Dow 36000.
Binary translates to:
Go f%ck yourselves frontrunning algos
And yes, Norton blows

21% runups in the RUT in two months must be the new normal.
I can't wait for nanotechnology to come out with some little buggers that eat Goldman Hal9000s for lunch.
Would be expecting to see sector rotation by now out of consumer discretionary, but they're still flying. It really is like we've gone through the looking glass.
"consumer discretionary", "banks", "retail", "auto"...whatever...it's all just one big pile of shit - just like the US economy.
Ceci n'est pas une marche
Did you hear the latest rumor? Greece is going to tell Germany and France to fuck off, and sign a deal with Russia and China to develop Aegean oil. Heard it here first...lol.
It is a soap opera after all, so who knows...
I heard China was going to set up solar facilities on Crete.
Guess I was misinformed.
Misery acquaints a man (country) with strange bedfellows.
The tempest
Tyler just explained the entire US stock "market" in that paragraph.
If we come within a c*nthair of shutting down the entire domestic air traffic system because some clown from the sandbox flicks his bic at 30,000 feet, is anyone really surprised at the measures taken to preempt financial terrorism? Yes, financial terrorism, that's exactly what it is: if the spooz ever crosses the 200dma again, the terrorists win.
Got the picture? Then trade accordingly . . .
Unfortunately, the terrorists have already won...they're now called "the federal reserve".
You know Popo, you could always google binary to ascii converter.
Why do I get blown everytime I short this market. Oh that's correct, I'm playing against something that has learnt to defy gravity.
How long can the perception of Greece's situation be manipulated to keep the dollar weak? Im new to this, but if I was head of EvilCorp I would use that pendulum to swing the dollar weak, (to drive up PPT in US markets) on stability of Greece bailout then yank the carpet on them and then just crush the market the other way to my collected shorts. Is this plausible/crazy/stupid?
I've been lurking here for 4 months now, reading EVERYTHING, absorbing and using this site as a locus for understanding. Its the complexity of FOREX>BOND> EQUITIES >SOVEREIGN FRACTIONAL BANKING relationships I am trying to get a grasp of. I started my finance education on bottom to top approach but then realized the true power moves are made in altering the perceptions of VALUE and playing the EGO not the market. Is there other reading that can help me understand how the above financial instruments are used on a global scale.
Also, what resources are available that give you concrete information and facts as to who is buying and selling markets and general information as to commodities and industrial info? I dont need a 18k a year feed, just simple clear information. Thanks to any that can help.
A guy that likes the beach in LA finds a bottle and a gennie comes out.
G: What is your wish?
M: I would like you to build me a bridge so that I can drive to Maui and back whenever I want. I love the beach in Maui.
G: You know that's impossible young man. you can't stretch a bridge across the pacific.
M: Okay then. I want to understand the stock/bond/fx markets and all.
G: How many lanes do you want on that bridge?
Ha! I walked into that one. I think it would help with my understanding if I had a better idea of how value moves through the world economy, through major instruments, and the magnitudes of effect these instruments enact relative to one another.
This is totally unrelated but I just HAD to post this (OK, maybe not - just replace the word "Tiger" with "Stock market casino patrons investors" in this video). Really funny AND true at the same time:
"Always leave yourself outs." ~Rounders
I am short, but I started in a small way. Averaging down. I am not predicting the end of the world, nor do I need it to wreap some decent gains. A simple move the the 25MA of the major indicies/ETF's will suffice. SOONER RATHER THAN LATER WOULD BE NICE THOUGH!!!
It's a crazy world we live in. ABK gets seized. Then they post a profit and the stock jumps +80% in 1 day?!? WTF?!? Seems like either they didn't need to be seized or the books are cooked. 1 or the other.
Greece has been "bailed out" so many times the last few weeks, I lost count. Does this mean they are not going on their fundraising tour of 5-star hotels with hot tub suites in China? AIG execs would be happy to take their place...
I was laughing to the point of tears when I read the *bleep* everyone post. I empathize with the frustrations.
"Some say the end is near. Some say we'll see armageddon soon. I certainly hope we will.

Screaming into the face of a cat 5 hurricaine. This reminds me of year 2000... thank God I moved my 401 to real estate funds, aint worked since, now its....buy gold bitches!!!!! lol
This boat is getting crowded :-)
..or how about: "Why can we not be sober?
I Just want to start things over.
Why can't we sleep forever?
I Just want to start this over."-Tool, "Sober"
or how about "lie, cheat and steal.......no one is innocent"....-Tool "Intolerance"
"0100011101101", etc.
I didn't know that's what happened to Jimmy Hoffa!
And now I fully understand why the Transports broke out.
Considering that shorts were scared many times today and 'told to get out of the market or we will gun it higher over the weekend on the fantastic Greece news', they really struggled to get it to 11K and talk about making a big meal of it... they are finding it harder and harder to get much of an advance these days
Are people finding things like SPY hard to borrow?
Whipsawed into oblivion. Simply amazing once again. Congrats to the bots and the PPT on another Oscar worthy performance.
80286...you're dating yourself!
This is the reason why, when the crash comes, it will be bad - the PTB will NOT let the economy breathe as it should.

I long for the days of a market down dip and the predictable CNBC response that there was profit taking. Ah, the good ole days - don't yah miss them?
Now that was a some shit Mr. D, thanks for the laff!
DOW / SP500 daily chart gives bullish signals as of Friday 9 April. Weekly chart still trends up but continues to warn of an overextended bear market rally.
