Holy crowded trade.
Suck it down, suckers.
That's funny, I just saw Alderan get blown up last night!
QUICK PAGE CRAMER!!!!!!!!
GS is on the other side of that trade. Guaranteed! Their last trading quarter was swell because NITE fell.
It's not their fault, their judgement is Harvard MBA-compromised. Amazing how much money people will pay just to be taught to be a fucking lemming.
What about Reggie? Is he OK?
Epic rise in yields yesterday while the rest of the market basically flatlined. Normally when wealth flow out of bonds, it flows into stocks and commodities, but yesterday...nothing. I've never seen that type of movement before.
It's almost like this report was released early to try and crash the market and keep yields from continuing to spike.
People stuffing their fiat under the mattress?
Take a look at that chart again: The third most-held stock is... MSFT. If you think GOOG hurts, just wait until the unmitigated failure that is "Surface" lands with a thud. We haven't even begun to see tankage yet.
Lemmings indeed. It is stunning that people pay 2 and 20 for this kind of groupthink bullshit.
Here's his sound board:

this begs the question does anyone need a 700 dollar stock,
priced to perfection, that pays no dividends, in their portfoglio?
The executives at Grand Moff Donnnelley better stay away from helicopter rides and hot tubs for the time being.
The interventionists giveth, and the interventionists taketh away.
If your money is in these markets, it is well positioned to be stolen from you.
on the other hand .. there's *some* amount of invenstment safety, since every single one of those top-50 companies in the list is govt-owned or is a govt contractor
except for haliburton
and while you're at it Bob Pissonme. Please save me spin master. Talk about how these companies earnings are coming in better than expected. Please ...
Cramer goes to Ohio and bearing manufacturer Timken on his "Mad Money" show tonight:
http://tinyurl.com/8rlanuu
Timken was closing buildings left and right, then .Gov gave the 100% capex writeoff. Within months Timken was doubling the size of thier headquarters.
COINCIDENCE?
+ 1
It does not sound like a coincidence to me adr! Timken has a lot of political clout, on both sides of the aisle. Thanks for the news item!
Didn't he have some POS "deep in the money calls" yesterday?
I have an idea. Click the ads for all the politicians on every website in America. Simultaneously we can save google and bankrupt every politician.
Now that's a stimulous idea I can get behind.
Way ahead of you brother. Obama must think I love him given my ad-clicking activity on ZH over the past few months.
All you're doing is generating further revenue for Google which will be recycled back into political contributions to be spent on advertising, generating further revenue for Google...
The idea that one can bankrupt a bottomless pit? Needs work.
Don't worry, it was "magically" halted just a c-hair above support.
DOW is crashing...down a whole 8 points...NOT ALLOWED in Bernak's "market"!!
All of the Banks calling the FED for a bigger line of Credit.
We said release at 1 PDT not EDT, PDT dammit!
The Google Bunch is stoned out of their mind.
Some good dope they're smoking up there in San Bruno, CA
So, does this mean that 96% of hedge funds are now, "behind"??
Don't be evil...bitchez!
Great their goes the 4th qtr bonus. now the PM's will have to settle on a porche instead of the ferrari
I came I saw I missed.......badly.
Oh well, there's always Q4 to look forward to.
Takes Billions per quarter to generate about the same amount of money as a walmart does on a single slow day.
It's all so very silly.
You can always make up on volume. ;-)
HA!
I hope they lose every fucking dime.
they just halted trading...
meant selling...
fucking rigged casino these markets r...
only up, no downward movement allowed....
FUCK ALL BANKERS AND WALLSTREET SOCIOPATHS......
It can't/won't last forever.
But why don't they ever halt silver when it has waterfall declines over nothing?? They must remain vigillant in the eternal war on speculators.
The press release was a fat-fingered mistaken release, based on the boilerplate and template holders still in the item. It wasn't supposed to come out until after market close.
Another form of capital control...sold as a safeguard! LOL!
tha algos were the only ones allowed to profit, and nothing is allowed to sell off. ever.
Now we find out who bought a ton of very cheap PUTs yesterday!
Wow, halted! Sure glad this cannot happen to AAPL, PCLN or AMZN. No way, no sir.
This is a perfect example (case study for historians) of the fallacy of Bernanke's "wealth effect".
HilsenRATh leak coming in 3, 2, 1...........
The hedge funds and retail will be getting massive margin calls tomorrow and forced to liquidate other momo bubble stocks. The selling is just starting.
This is how the internet bubble popped – one huge miss by a momo-driven domino pricked the internet bubble.
Quick, get the manatees for the rumor machine!
"China to buy $GOOG, Spain, and $FB"
Strange thing is the EURUSD and AUDUSD, both darlings of the QEtc pump-and-dump, went absolutely nowhere. Just sitting there, eating a moon pie.
I'm beginning to think these markets are rigged.
:/
Bernank in Luftwaffe, printing counterfeit for Google dollars....
sale bluelight special, on snoogle, aaple und goodle is snoogle.
QE 4; foodstamps for google shares and down payments for Google houses. and FHA Federal Housing Apple (w 3% down foodstamps you get an apple house) no need to pay
mortgage in Shadow inventory.
Has to fall 15% in under 5 minutes for a trading halt. G'damn Mfers
You seem to be suffering under the delusion that there are rules
Don't worry. They will ramp it back to $760 overnight and for tomorrow's open. Surely a few conference call among 165 hedge funds can fix this.
Paging Brian Sack to the RED courtesy phone. I repeat, Brian Sack, please pick-up the RED courtesy phone located on your desk.
Reggie!!!
Oooops!
Clarice ?
Is that you Clarice ?
I would love a flash crash right now
Jump you f*ckers.
So, the market can go up but not down when it is only banksters and hedge funds buying? Is that the rule?
notice how Gold and Silver r never halted...
interesting n deed...oh well,
FUCK YOU BERNANKE.....
Real money never sleeps, monopoly money however needs a break every now and then.
If Chuck Norris was money he would be a Gold Eagle.
If Chuck Norris was money he would be a Iridium Eagle. fixed that for you.
Yeah, and why don't they ever halt a stock for going up 10% in 10 minutes?
And, they usually report after markets "close" for the sheeple.
Skynet was the first out the door, guaranteed.
10 milliseconds after the flubbed release.
Sheeple must wait.
"Sheeple must wait"...my new bumper sticker
AAPL down a bit too -- i-Chihuahua !
Hedgies would be advised to sell AAPL and FB while they still can.
IT COULD ALL BE OVER TOMORROW.
Who in their right mind wants to hold all this overvalued shitty paper when the casino doors are bolted shut?
Tomorrow?
Who needs tomorrow? It only takes nanoseconds....
Black Friday!
Love the headline!
Just where is Larry Quote when you need him?
Tick-tock, Middleton won't stop!
Payday.
Cramer's Sound Board
Have at it!
http://www.cnbc.com/id/18724672/
SELL, SELL, SELL!!! Mooooo!
SELL, SELL, SELL baaaaa
Buy, Buy, Buy. Bark bark
Mooooo, Buy, Sell, Buy.
Jump the shark!!
Sell, sell, bullet to the head.
Die, DIE, DIE!!!!
Answers my (on-going) question as to solving the mobile-ads monetization.
Redemption song is coming...and not Bob Marley's version.
I dunno... seems apropos.
OH THE IRONY!
I just received an email from noreply@service.google.com
ROFML!!!!
TOP TOP TOP IS IN!!!
can u believe this shit...
it was Google itself that urged the exchange to halt trading....
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They tapped out.
When do I get a tap-out when my positions are getting creamed?
At MFG it wouldn't have mattered if you got a tap out -- they'd just steal your account balance, then send you a rubber check to close your account.
nivea or max factor.
ay yes...
two parties enter...
Cocksuker Bankers, and morons (read all asswipes stupid enough to b n the casino)...
and only one walks out....
THE PERFECT ROACH MOTEL......
no. surprises. before. election.
sheeple. must. remain. asleep.
shhhhh....
nothing to see here, keep moving...
Romney is ahead in the polls. Someone is getting cold feet about their exposure. Romney's win is THE market killer.
the magnificent seven... he is outgunning the Ole Bam Bamy of Yes we can.
Damage control, as was the early release, itself.
You can bet your ass someone made a few calls they shouldn't have.
The rest of this fucking abortion called a "market" is laughing at anyone not short.
I agree completely, EURCHF. Once this jin was out of his bottle, there would be chaos, certainly. What better way to manipulate the bad print then to have a "mistake" release then halt trading, by "request" from Mr. Brin?
Just when I thought it couldn't get any more obvious...
People are waking up to this crap, though, more so every day. This one may come back to haunt them yet because there will be many, many pissed-off hedgies (not in the loop, of course...) who had sell at market close orders on GOOG. What goes around, comes around.
:D
Larry Page -
"Uhm, like, I already lost like a billion dollars here - can you turn that fucking thing off? Tell that fucking Panetta no more back door access (and that's not a gay joke)."
"Tell Panetta if the PPT doesn't get us back up above $700 by Friday at 4:00 p.m, - there will be some fucked-up search results when someone searches "Panetta" or "Obama Bitch".
He might be the head of the CIA, but he'll be giving me head if I'm not worth $40B by lunch!
I already have had bronchitis this year. Enough is enough!
Tell him he'll come up as the only result when someone searches for 'anal sex.'
"UHM, SIR, WOULD YOU LIKE US TO SHUT DOWN GOOGLE TRADING, THE NASDAQ, TNE UNITED STATES STOCK EXCHANGE OF THE ENTIRE WORLD EXCHANGES?"
"I don't give a fuck - get my jet ready."
With Microsoft 3rd on the list.
How about that they leaked it early because they suspected the after-hours trade in GOOG would plunge down causing Asia to go into a panic melt-down overnight, followed by Europe plunging tomorrow and...
So they leaked it early, took the hit, suspended trading and will, once it resumes, now pump, pump, pump it back up before close tonight?
to me this kind of shit makes the big one that more painful. the Titanic brushed off alot of smaller chunks of ice before it hit El Grande.
"Ah, we've come out of hyperspace in to some kind of asteroid shower or something. It's not on any of the Google charts."
"What? But where's all our profit?"
"That's what I'm trying to tell you, kid. It ain't here."
You need to have faith in the PPT young TomGa. It is a force that surround, penatrates and protects the markets. It is what holds the entire ponzi together.
Feel the PPT TomGa - let its power flow through you.
May the Schwartz be with you!
No - Larry - Wake the fuck up - when I said PPT I wasn't trying to get you to watch another powerpoint pressentation. I meant - were fine - the fucking Pllunge Protection Team has got our back. Let's go race our private jets from our private (government) airport.
Yeah!! Life rules. Let's wear our Google Glasses - unless you are afraid of getting bitch smacked again in the gay bar.
and...pigs get slaughtered
All that off shore hedge fund money is leveraged 10:1. Grab some popcorn and watch the show when those margin calls start hittting.
Fucking classic.
"Google Inc. CI A" They are blatent about being part of the intelligence services network ;)
The Bernanke can own GOOG too. Or he will buy more, worse paper from the TBTFs in exchange for them buying up some GOOG.
Trading stopped. Can't have any bad stock market days...wouldn't want to hurt Obama's re-election chances.
Someone wake up the PPT at Maiden Lane.
"Turn those machines back on!"
Where is Reggie Middleton?????
They halted, Reggie is saved.
I thought he was short GOOG?
you be right
The Emperor command Darth Bernanke to turn on the printing presses - NOW!
This market is extremely fragile beneath the Surface, have you guys noticed the small blit upwards on Gold just as GOOG was going in the funk. The market is a facade, it can crack-up (boom) at any moment...
Ruthless... http://www.last.fm/music/Amon+Tobin/Splinter+Cell+Chaos+Theory/Ruthless
That is what is to come....
Luckily we still got Facebook as a long term investment.....ROTFL x-D
As long as your definition of longterm investment is <1.0 microsecond...

Sounds of Silence
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What memories.. God was there that night

I like the John Valby version better myself.
pods
now thats poetry that ripples like fresh water.
I'm sure Uncle Scam can include GOOG and APPL in the TBTF category. Problem solved.
"Trading will be halted until the Q5 projected numbers can be announced"
Google why.

Stocks still don't want to go down, though. Looks like the "spite trade" is on.
Time to get Solyndra, A123, Apple, and Google to start building that Deathstar; $500 billion a month from the FED should turn things around and start the recovery.
If the construction lasts 20 years things should be really humming by then.
Embrace the suck, Wall St, its all yours.
Google is in an epic battle with Apple at the moment. Google is an advertising company that gives away products for free. Apple is a product company that does not care about ad revenue. Apple has eliminated advertising revenue for Google with iOS6 Maps as well as Siri. This is more than a small problem for Google, and a very strategic problem at that.
The bigger problem is that the desktop and even laptop are a dying breed, and an ever-shrinking screen for advertising as tablets and mobile phones take over.
I wouldn't be surprised to see mobile carriers take over search and ads so they combine revenue streams.
It's possible (but very unlikely) that the smaller devices may eventually kill laptops, but desktops aren't going anywhere. Their death has been predicted as "imminent" since Compaq released their first portable PC.
That was almost 30 years ago.
Hedgefonds are hedged
I'm not afraid to admit I pre-ordered the Surface two days ago within an hour of its 'pre-release.' However, I was shocked to see that the $499 version is reported to have be sold out in pre-orders. I went for the $599 version. Who knows what I'll get?!?
Remember, this is Microsoft software and hardware. They keep all the money after the sale, kinda like Apple. The following factors may help it along a) the keyboard that flips off the front is likely to be a nice plus, b) it comes with Office 2013 products (with Word/Excel and others included free of charge), c) Microsoft Explorer is pre-loaded, d) you can actually download things without having to have the most annoying piece of software ever created - I-Tunes and, finally - E through Z) It's not a fucking Apple product.
I hate that fucking company with a passion. To me, apples are used by morons who don't understand the workings of computers. They always seem to be telling me how great they are, but never can tell me what they do on them. It seems like they are used for e-mail, video and audio editing, and graphics. However, the other 99% of mac users, in my opinion, were suckered in or are 90 years old.
I hope this puts a nail in Apple's back and that twisted fuck starts turning in his grave. He's another douche who nauseated me. All these 30-year-old yuppies singing his praises while he doesn't seem to have ever given a dime to charity. At the same time, they berate Gates who earned 5X as much and has given away more than the other dick ever earned.
APPLE parabolic...
As mentioned, APPLE parabolic weekly & monthly charts are at EXTREME levels.
Unfortunately longs will be badly burnt.
Head & Shoulders pattern(ie bearish)on APPLE daily chart in progress and downtrend continues.
