Today's Redbull-Sponsored Market Plunges By Most In 4 Months
Whether its AAPL, GOOG, or the broad equity indices, today saw the bulls 'Baumgartnered'. Despite a valiant attempt to rally into the close, because Bernanke forbid the Dow close the week red, the NASDAQ is 4% off its Wednesday lows (-1.3% on the week) as AAPL suffers its largest 3-week decline since the March 2009 lows (closing with a $609 handle -3.6% today!) and Tech is -5.7% from QEtc. The weakness was absolutely systemic as cross-asset-class correlations were extremely high and CONTEXT (our broad risk-asset proxy) tracked lower and stabilized into the close. Gold, Copper, and Oil all ended the week clustered together down around 1.7% as the USD ended practically unchanged. Credit's mid-week epic short-squeeze lingers in traders' minds as equities underperformed. Treasury yields end the week up 9-11bps. VIX jumped back above 17% suggesting further weakness for stocks. S&P futures are dropping after-hours - closing at lows of the day - disregarding the late-day cash ramp.

Risk assets in general stabilized at the close but the weakness was very systemic...

Riddle me this Tyler, everything sold off today, equities, oil, silver, gold... Who was the fucking winner?
Gas 'n' grains
LOL
The winner were the bondditos, again!
So is it too early to say:
Let The Games Begin!
or should I still hold off until after the "election"
"So is it too early to say:
Let The Games Begin!"
How about "Nos morituri te salutamus"?
Works until it doesn't. Want some of them-thar 4% junk bonds, pardner? We got a Reggie special, just for good-lookin' dudes like you. BEEEECAUSE WE LIKE YOU!
Bloody amazing.
4% junksters.
It was not long ago I bought some 30 year treasuries yielding 4.5%.
If anything is at risk, the lower quality stuffs gonna get stuffed when spreads gap if there's a down turn .... which in fair disclosure, I am expecting.
Then again, I didn't expect stocks to be up 15% ytd, either.
Comme si comme sa
Owning stocks is a dirty job and somebody (besides me) has gotta do it.
Who won? OCT 20th SPY puts $144 strike price = 1,566% UP!
Too bad I didn't own any.... could have made a fucking killing today!

Great Bonus Chart today
Don't tell my mom I'm a stocktrader, she thinks I play piano in a whorehouse.
Do they need an accordion player? Oh sorry. I misread that.
REPEAT, this is NOT a sell-off or even a minor correction -- a correction would be when the real value of SP, at no more than 700, dips below said real value. today is a blip in the ponzi con.
the past week sure smells like a sell off in au/ag/oil......................
Just in case anyone missed this

Treasuries. Dip Scheiße
Those who didn't play?

Hell yes. I'm a boob man, but flat never felt soooo good.
(.)(.)
Thanks to Dr. Bernanke and Uncle Government, everyone plays, every day.
Mitt Romney.
Nothing will sway those undecided votors better than a solid hit to their portfolios. Mittens should pack his bags for 1600 Penn Ave. now 'cause Goldy's got his back.
The rest is just show biz.
Exactly and the precise reason the 'market' took a hit cos it is 'their market' and what they want they get
they are ramping down now in anticipation for the HUGE RAMP UP when mittens wins.................a fool would think this is a sign of a downturn in the market...........................THE ALMIGHTY DOW SHALL SOAR WITH THE EAGLES when goldman gets what goldman wants..........
Bankers who once again skewered the muppets. They got a nice out midweek. sold off left the muppets holding he bag again. Repeat next week.
Some ZHer predicted just that earlier this week-maybe it was a Tyler.
NOV SPY puts behaved very well today...anyone long anything except PM's deserve this beat-down and will continue next week...
Goldman and Blythe.
The winner today was the precious metal miners. Many actually closed in the green even though the metals were taking a beating and the EM was being flogged out back.
The miners ALWAYS lead the metals and what the miners are saying is that the correction is over and we are heading above $1800 in gold very soon.
The miners are going to regain their mojo they have lost the last several years by outperforming every other market sector in the coming weeks/months.
I noticed that too. First time in years that there was such a divergence - gold off $20, large caps and hedge fund favorites taking a savage beating, and miners across the board flat or up. This is a huge change in the dynamic for that sector.
diverge began on monday it seems. impressive considering the metals this week.
however, not convinced just yet.
Most likely a head fake.
I hope you're right man, I recently invested in them and I'm almost 9% down...
Winner: The guy that bought at 609 a few weeks ago.
Loser: The guy that was convinced it was worth 705 when he bought it from the Winner.
This just in. Big Tex, of the Texas State Fair, upset over austerity, self immolates.

People who think Bernanke and Obama are the problem and not the solution.
Shorts
I won because I'm not in the Casino.
Cash won this round.
Next week Microsoft will tank. Early views of Windows 8 are showing major disappointment. That makes Google, Apple, IBM, and MS going down. Who's next, Samsung?
I can tell you who the LOSER is... ITALIAN COURT FINDS CELL PHONE LIABLE FOR BRAIN CANCER... this was lost in the shuffle, what else? NONE OF THEM HAVE LIABILITY INSURANCE!... it is because insurers know this...

So while a few point drop gets everyones panties in a knot, lost for a while, but not long, will be the billions of dollars payable (in italy alone) keep in mind they found the vatican liable for their towers also... have fun with that AAPL lovers!
Odd shit:
A politician claims he's cuter than Candy Crowley.
http://www.buzzfeed.com/johnstanton/arizona-senate-candidate-tells-male-...
BTW, would Candy Crowley hit terminal velocity if she jumped?
that fat fuck establishment shill? only solace is that she will be departed within 5 years due to her incorrigible hedonism
"Odd shit:

Setting the bar low there. The voters love that self-deprecating stuff.
I've seen road kill look better...
The short answer is NO, but the impact crater might trigger a black hole.
Careful with that theoretical physics shit, knucks. It could kill a good buzz;)
Impact diamonds for everyone!
i'd rather pleasure myself with a cheese grater than tap that CC rump
Here's my favorite totally looks like picture of Candy Crowley.

You sir, are a sick puppy, and a threat to polite society. Welcome to the revolution.
Is Candy the one on the left? ;-)
Ah shit. Now you've got me confused.
Why would Goldman dump on Obama for Rommel...err I mean Romney. They have an absolute doormat in Obama
Obama is discourteous. One wants one's servants to show a certain deference and the Kenyan version of Obamney tries to keep his base in line by dissing the bansters. No actions of course, but they're now after open vs. covert obedience.
The choice is a discourteous banker's tool or an empathetic gentlemanly banker.
What sayest thou, Fair Maiden?
Takest thou pick, Good Sir Booger.
If it's snot one its 'nother, me Lady
Sir Booger, what beist that on the end of your finger?

Because he wants to re-distribute THEIR wealth to his O'phone cronies, and in a second term would revert to being the Chicago thug he is - he would become completely unmanageable.

Go there and look at the top contributors for Obama and Romney, you'll see there has been quite a shift in support from bankers.
The banksters need an exit strategy that includes a change in the status quo and chaos. They need a shit storm to sneak out of town - with their PMs. A Romney win will deliver the goods and leave a gutted, dumbed down middle class. It will be years before the sheeple even get a clue how they've been played. Unless...
Unless... a) the 100+ nations BRICS alliance drops the hammer on the U.S. Dollar and quits using it for international trade and settlements b) the nations who had trillions in gold "put on deposit" (read stolen) by the FED and BIS demand it back with interest and repossess the FED and BIS with multi-trillion dollar liens.
The world is sick of green toilet paper and wants it's stolen gold back!
Friday chartporn...just the way to start the weekend.
So what. How many times has this happened over the last 5 years? You've been fulking hand wringing each time something like this happens. In the mean time, they still have complete control of the capital markets with freshly printed QE infinity.
What's your point? The market is finally going to realize real/fair value? To that I would ask, when will you ever learn
What a buzz kill. There goes my brief moment of Schadenfreude
+1 for das fuBlfrumptkinstaben reference
Who's wringing their hands?
That image gives me vertigo.
It makes me nauseous, nautions, nacious, sick to my stomach.
p.s my strike through doesn't seem to work.
Some images are worth keeping readily available at all times...for moments like this.

FUCK YOU Bernanke...
Just had to say it.....It feels good.....
PHUCK YOO Bernangki...
You're right...Thanks
roller coasters....as long as money velocity stays down!
Just wait!
Once "V" skyrockets, which it shall at some point in the future, it's gonna make the inflation of the 70's seem like kid's play.
Now wait a minute...did you say "selling"?
Seattle, March 2000
I was there!
I wasn't.
I have no clue whatsoever about March 2000.

Climbing walls were a common second hand item in the office surplus circuit.
Oh yeah, I remember that now.
Pets don't calm.
We had a big ass high strung nervous as a whore in church mean German Shepard and I'd tried calming him by rubbing his balls.
Didn't work too well.
Where ya get bit for dumb ass ideas.
That kind of environment, right?
I was in it. Bay Area. 1999 through 2006. Saw the up, see-sawed the down.
It was pure, outright, unmitigated theft all around.
THe company I worked at was sold for 3.5 BILLION, all stock of course. We had 1.5 or 2 Mill in DOUBLE BOOKING revenue. Everyone was throwing money.
Company was sold (forced) onto a competitor. All kinds of back-scratching was at play. "Our" non-product was dead in it's new home within the year.
Sold on March 10th 2000.
Us locked out minions made nothing. The dump was far done by the time we were un-locked.
Figure someone knew something?
It's only much later I realized the place was crawling with :
a) Pharisees and their vulture capital clubs
b) Coke snorting Salespeople/CEO's etc.
c) Secret hand-shaking masons/society types all around
d) Black/white mail, skull duggery of the worst sort.
Typical bubble behaviour I suppose.

Damn - I swear I didn't hit the button twice.
Watch NoBama try to hide in plain sight while this market collapse heads on downward another 2-3% to temporary support at SPX 1400 and NDX 2600, before proceeding lower. My screens say prez No's previously-very-successful perception management team has just reached their peter-principle level of incapacity to re-write history as it occurs, giving new awareness to Jim Lehrer's words ending the 1st debate: "Mr. President, your time is up...".
I'm no fan of Obama or Romney but, if you are gonna blame him for the market dropping are you willing to credit him for it rising?
Fuck no....
We're way past just OK now....
Bush did it!
Booyah, Motherfuckers!

I think the reds and the blues are playing with the roller coaster; don't ask me who wants up but I guess its red.

'and the one speaks out of the 'left larynx'... whilst the other speaks from the 'right larynx'- but both come from the same windpipe... a sneeze-freeze,... seemingly frozen in ambiguity- were it naught for the 'respect-my-authoritah' voice-box of the right`eous moneyed meisters?'
LIFO... last in is certainly first out, in today's business atmosphere of bambi's sour'd uncertainty?

Question for Tyler or anyone who knows. Dow September futures expire tomorrow (Saturday 20th) right? Is the settlement price/index price struck on the morning of the 19th, or at the close?
Sorry for the noob question, I just thought it strange that the future contract expires on a non-market day.
Did you ever think to google it? Type "futures expires saturday."
And the results:
http://www.google.com/search?q=futures+expires+saturday&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-...
Yep, hence the question. I went through all of those articles and none of them say when the settlement price is struck. Thanks for nothing though.
