Volume Is ______ (Insert Appropriate Adjective)
While we may be running out of adjectives for "Volume is ______" headlines, that does not change the fact that the reality red shift of the universe that CNBC exists in (Bartiromo: "market volume is above average today") is approaching burgundy. On one hand you have CNBC's... one can't really even call it "spin"... On the other you have reality, if only for the time being. We hear the Fed is willing to fund a reverse merger between bizarro and the real world.

Not only that its options ex today..usually the highest volume of the month....
They don't need no stinkin' volume to close it at max-pain which is right about where it closed.
why insert adjective when its even more appropriate to insert a noun like 'shit'?
Maria is a goddess.
Shake it, girl. Go with the rhythm...lay down the boogie, Brooklyn-style.

HOLY SHEET!! Did you just see that battahromo segment to take delivery of your silver? And that the SLV is a scam?

Once again...Unavailable! I think CNBC is just too stupid to reliably post their own stinkin garbage on the web.
thanks for the post - but i didn't hear the part about slv being a scam. I believe it is though - just closed my position in it, at a healthy profit i might add :)
Volume is and has been irrelevent since QE was initiated, transforming stocks into a giant correlated inflation-hedge pool. But the Market has been showing signs of a reversal starting with the events in Japan - notice that the S&P is making lower highs, the commodity complex (ex pm's) are showing signs of topping, currencies are shifting to reflect a change in forecast - but obviously all is contingent upon the Fed's agenda staying constant. Although probable, I don't see the Fed following through with QE3 in July...
I wonder if they can compensate for what's going to happen going forward with Japan.
World's 3rd largest economy in deep shit. We're already getting layoffs here in the US a month out. Q2 will be a mess.
Can they print enough? I don't think so.
Now that Op-Ex is over, I'm looking at a nuclear short.
I've heard that the Fed's balance is big enough now that just monetizing the debt on it means QE to infinity anyways, even without official QE3
SPY & ES in line with a typical up day. Below average sure, but below average with a down day. This low vol environment has been going on for quite a while now..
Almost lulls you into thinking it's always going to be like that. This time seems different, like a "new normal" almost. Almost.
The important thing weekly VIX close is lowest since july '07, when unemployment and oil were a lot higher than they are now
Oh wait, actually unemployment was 4% and oil was $70
My bad
Haha - excellent point. Insert a bunch of other crucial macro indicators which look like shit, couple that with an environment where protection absolutely SHOULD be bid, and you're just left with one big WTF c/o the VIX.
abysmal
Volume = W X H X L ... and circles are Pie R(2).. :)
Next thing you know, Bartiromo will be saying that volume doesn't matter (with her best Dick Cheney sneer).
Well, she has put on a little weight...
"a little weight?" That bitch's ass is a s wide as a barn.
And, how about her crony, Joe "the hit man" Batapaglia? All the old ladies her buried during the dot.com bubble--pumping on cnbc day and night.........
God served justice on him. There are a few of them left that are due: Kernan, Pisani, Herrera, Kudlow, and especially Bartaromo a/k/a Mrs Steinberg.
Did you know Maria's husband owns an etf company? He used to work for bsc and run a penny stock cheat sheet? His father is Saul Steinberg, another wall st, entitled, swindler........
I get sick thinking about it............
Notice CNBC hasnt included 'VOL' in their screen shots for over a year now.
Wall Street Journal print edition stopped % difference from average volume several weeks ago.
They have said that on fast money this week. Sme ram ass was charting it out saying all is well.
I'm wondering if Marie is a cast member of (TRUE BLOOD)?
idc the money honey is still hot
Insignificant! The adjective is 2 parts. Boiling (red) drunken (staggering) debt.
Poor old VIX, it's just dead, simple as that.
Zero Bid 0 strike vix puts
Dead on market up days, dead on market down days.
That Artemis post a few days ago on this artificially low volatility environment rings very true on a week like this week. OpEx, big drops in the S&P + or -, and still no move in vol. Artificial as fuck.
GS BUXNET worm
We don't need no fundamentals, let the motherfucker burn!
The lesser the volume, the higher we go.
It's like holding a rock in your hand, dropping it and watch it go up.
Hopium-flavored Kool-Aid for all.
for now....
No kidding. If someone told you google would be down nearly 50 and apple down 6 would you say vix plunging too and NASDAQ closing up?
Demand for U.S. Assets Declined in February, Treasury Says
"Net buying of long-term equities, notes and bonds totaled $26.9 billion during the month, compared with net buying of $51.1 billion in January, according to a report issued in Washington. Including short-term securities such as stock swaps, foreigners purchased a net $97.7 billion, compared with net buying of $30.6 billion the previous month."

who needs volume when you've got Hopium?
Like Houdini's Water Torture Cell Trick?
TOO LOUD! TURN IT DOWN!
Hmm.. that graph on the bottom resembles CNBC viewership the past few years..
Irrelevant. VIX, gold, US$, earnings . . . nothing matters but debt debt and more debt. Debt held by indebted - banks and sovereigns. But nothing matters.
NOTHING.
in buying range for Benny Bucks
Volume? We dont need no steenking volume. Us "Gringo" taxpayers are the volume.
Volume is Bernanke.
The HFT programs aren't even playing with themselves?
Very zen.

WTFFFFFFFF !
Winning the Future! Stupidest tag ever. What are Obama and advisors thinking? Go Team USA? Beat Brazil? Squash South Africa? Rout Russia? Tards!
The world must have had a great lunch today. Lean Hogs are up 8.49%.
Ya.... we're not in a commodity bubble.
Get ready for a wild ride.
I like the hog trade.
Hogs are easy to breed, easy to maintain.
When muslims start discovering the flavor of porkloins, we will go into hyper mode on the hog trade.
Ok, that last part is wishful thinking.
But my hogs are fat and I'm loving their upside :)
Hogs, easy to breed, very expensive to feed.
Apple breaks trend line support :

...and Google breaks trend support too, then drops through the floor as well
50% increase in costs and they're still leaking talent to Facefuk and Twatter
Maria, insider tip, 4" is not 7" either.
Well, an expanding universe should always produce a redshift, you know... :))
After all, the redshift is an evidence of previous Big Bang:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift
"The redshift due to expansion of the universe depends upon the recessional velocity in a fashion determined by the cosmological model chosen to describe the expansion of the universe... If the universe were contracting instead of expanding, we would see distant galaxies blue shifted..."
"While it was long believed that the expansion rate has been continuously decreasing since the Big Bang, recent observations of the redshift-distance relationship using Type Ia supernovae have suggested that in comparatively recent times the expansion rate of the universe has begun to accelerate..."
:)))))
AAPL 4th know on the floor. It don't look good my minions. 1st stop $320 but support @ $327 becomes resistance.
What ahappened to the Cramer prediction: $450!
He has killed more people than Hitler and Osama combined.
Yeah, man. We used to crank the shit up to 11...now it's like...you kids over there, turn that down and get off my lawn!
Hi Misean. It should be! (Get off of my cloud). Hope all is well. 11 kills hearing @ 40. 9 is good for ever!
shitty?
can we play hang man with this tyler please?

Silver pennies away from 43...
Matt Taibbi on Ratigan show now discussing the article and Mack's Wife gambling with taxpayer money.
Before hand it is important to note how clueless these superlibs that appear on MSNBC also Ari Welber found of "The Nation" was stating how anyone who is against Obama's presidency is a racist essentially. No need to note how Welber followed Obama's campaign in person as he is most certainly unbiased.
Did silver just hit $43?
Yeah but Silver is almost touching $43 right now. Who cares about stocks anyway?
Oh hi $43!
$43!!! :D
When do we start dismantling the U.S. for parts?

shotty alaska they got gold bitchezzz
And they get to get drenched in japanese radioactive waste. On the plus side people won't go crazy and murder their family because of haarp.
Just buy the fucking dip !
One sided trade until the Bernanke is taken out back by someone with the balls to impeach he and Obama.
The move on the ten year tells the tale.
Low volume + rising oil + low vol + falling tsy rates + rising stock prices = something big brewing
Fade this cause I'm guessing we got a few weeks of this left.
I don't care how painful it gets, I'm staying short.
The 401k shills and e-trade babies are the only ones keeping stocks bid at this point.
You will be crushed .....
Project much.
Not bloody likely. It's cheaper to hedge an up move in stocks than a down move.
Only spot VIX is cheap. Look at the vol curve. Stock call premiums are cheap. The 10 year rate a week ago was a lot closer to what reality should be. The week over week put option on stocks in 10 year TSY went up 2.5% (25 or so basis points times 10 years of duration). Through the action this week, they only thing that appreciated significantly was downside hedging costs (PM's aside).
Volume is.....
...crap
...dia-bloody-bolical
...so low it looks like a US Govt budget cut
...nearly as low as CNBC viewers
...almost as low as Maria Bartiromos book sales
...quieter than a Church mouse and GOP on defence cuts
...absolute pants/shit (if broadcast after kiddies threshold)
...so low we're still looking for it and will report back later when we find it!
Unleash the adjective kraken why don't ya.
passed the time until American Idol ...my absolute fav
Hey, after Maria Bartiromo did that hard investigative reporting on John Thain, who could possibly question anything she has to say??? After all she says John Thain is a "man of integrity" so that's all I need to know.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WiLCpMM3yw
My personal favorite (link below) was when Maria was sold a huge piece of the Brooklyn Bridge by John Thain (everything at the banks is fine Maria, capital requirements are kind of like those laws that say you shouldn't put make-up on while driving Maria. NO!!! REALLYYYYY!!! Everything is cool, move along ditzy).

About two weeks to to go (May 6th) before the 460 million share traded average of Citi goes to 46.
A move that will affect 5% of the daily trading volume as MOMO's, HFT's and the rest scramble:
