Spring break
Now we know why you get to post pictures.
I agree. That guy holding the IV bag is a fucking genious...or is that a bottle of booze?
why are they mutually exclusive?
All of Europe is at the spring bunga-bunga party. I'm pissed, 'cause I didn't see the invite in time to book my trip.
"iv bag" = enema
ask pension funds. they can explain it.
Funny that all the brain trusts....Einhorn, Bass, Loeb etc. etc. etc.....who all see what we see....none of them have announced they are heavily short the market.
Bullish on latex.
is that a fat chicks finger print on that down arrow?
and...fat chicks rule....
HFT platforms applying the latest "patch".
From the bottle blond, the all over tan, the belly button adornment...,
I'd say you can see her necked down at the Pink Pussycat almost any old time, but hell, why not celebrate Tequila?
I was contemplating feeling bad for that lost soul of a woman selling her body for male attention and then I realized I had been staring at her tits for nearly a minute as I contemplated it all. I still have no answers.
Your big brain is hard-wired for procreation with females that can nurse offspring to vitality, thus leading to statistically likelier chances of survival, via lactation.
Big brain--> perceives large mammaries--> enters involuntary exciteability stage--> instinctively sends signal to little brain
Then, there is this nice United Parcel Delivery Woman, who elicits a similar "nice birthing hips" reflexive response. It's all very scientific.
So what exactly lies behind the apparent hard-wiring in some males to select females with the widest possible backsides?
I am a caucasian, and am still working on my "red beans & rice didn't miss her" thesis.
For that matter, I never finished by Chinese "foot binding reflexively induced response" thesis.
Let me know when you get to the "covered head-to-toe burqa" thesis.
Hides the wiskaz they have.....
wouldnt 6 inches of duct tape across the mouth be better than a birka?
Ball protection man, its all about ball protection...
More cushin' for the pushin'.
Nuff' said.
So what exactly lies behind the apparent hard-wiring in some males to select females with the widest possible backsides?
Same thing behind the now-defunct Kaulong Indian practice of ritual asphyxation of all newly widowed women.
No one knows, but it sure as fuck has nothing to do with adaptivity, evolvability, or selective fitness.
Biologists really do have more fun.
Agree with your response TIS, we must have other instincts to nurture, respect and treat women with dignity too? That is what I mean about I don't have any answers, because I really love hot slutty chicks, its just, its not a good long term pursuit for most women.
edit: they're not a good long term pursuit for most men either.
It if floats, flies or f*cks, rent it...eh, I just don't know anymore.
I think Bernanke may have broken that market, too.
Really?................HALF!
HH, sure some of the only revenue producing industries that have contributed to GDP growth in the last 3 decades have been porn, allimony and child support, I don't deny this fact. All I am trying to say that long term they may be sort of like the drone industry...short term gain long term pain.
Thats it, I'm ordering "Atlas Shrugged" from Amazon, one page at a time !!!
TIS, you've read way to much Schopenhauer. I've never met a man interested in procreation. It's all about pleasure baby. What greater pleasure is there than a long juicy organism? Procreation is just an after effect. Gods joke on us. For that infitesimal period of pleasure comes 18 years of grief. I always wondered was going on in men's heads when they gawked and salivated at my D cup rack. Finally figured out not much thought at all. The beauty in your sex is your simplicity. And we enjoy distracting you!
Miffed;-)
Yeah, but somewhere someone is just tired of her bullshit. Then, again, I tire slowly:)
Volume looks solid.
My volume (of blood flow) has made me solid (as a rock).
Store bought titties...,
not that there's anything wrong with that.
Must Be PC, Must Be PC
With volume like this, the etrade baby can move es another 20 points with her online account, who needs ben
Now that's "wealth effect"
Mom! Get off the stage! We can just walk away from the mortgage!!

"U.S. Stock Volume Lowest of Year as S&P 500 Gain Fails to Awaken Investors"
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-03-12/u-dot-s-dot-stock-volume-low...
As Max Keiser proclaims himself the "most accurate forecaster so far" saying his forecast of the crisis intensifying by April 15th is coming true.
Lotsa lols...
Keiser is just antsy. It's any day now.
I've made a lot of money for little old me investing in bitcoin so far. It's going nowhere but up.
Max says he's made $1 Million with bitcoin. I believe it. If he bought in early enough ($2, I heard Stacy referency on Truth about markets once), then he could easily have a million worth of bitcoin already.
I've been fighting the Fed, and am therefore too broke to afford a Bloomberg Big Gulp Terminal. Please explain.

So from what I can gleam via the web, this is basically an index used as a proxy to determine volume in the overall equity market... in this case, showing a somewhat significant and recent decrease.
Ergo - "Great rotation?!?" - Wo bist du??
To really put it in perspective, on the 1 year chart, current volume is on par with 11/23 and 12/24 -- the days before christmas and new year's.
Maybe tomorrow is a big holiday they forgot to tell us about?
Tomorrow is Arbor Day. In a market that exists only on paper that's a big deal.
Even fucking Arbor Day is made in China these days.
It sure as hell isn't Be Kind to Pigs day for chinese citizenisms working for middle class chinese citizen values or however the hell ananonymouschinesecitizenhackermiddleclassvaluescrusader says it.
pods
Ah, more US 'american' citizenism offuscationalizing throating of mind and blobbing-up.
Makings of false sympathies for food animals only part and package of typical US 'american' citizenism eternal nature. Why expecting you of chineses Sons of Heaven treat food animals with any shreddings of humaneness, when we don't even deal with own chinese citizenism citizens in suchlike manners?
This why Mousy Tongue most revered Communist Chineses citizenism hero, because he was willingness to kill tens of millions of chineses citizenism citizens in pursuit of greater glory of Long March of Insanitation Communist Chinese citizenism regime. In chinese citizenism, the regime is all.
Poor US 'american' citizens, failing to grasp essentials. Cast your failures away, like we do our bowel movings on the roadsides.
akak do sayings this of:
Typical US citizenism 'american'ism falling back on fabled past is phenonemom muchly observed.
This saying you did gives wisdom.
Time-traveling algebraic coconut milk of Chinese citizenism flows like river of time-traveling algebraic coconut milk.
Of Chinese citizenism.
This part of comment gives inducement of yearnings reading again Mao Book of Small Redness.
Reminds Chairman Mao proved himself of people being one with. Evidence just then being eternal memorialized by glorious Peoples Liberation Roadside Shrines of Fearless Droppings of Great Chairman preserved in state for much vigorous patriotic.
Since the change in tranliteration of Chinese names into English Mousy Tongue is more properly spelled Mousy Dung. Just thought you'd want to know.
Correctionalizationalisticalism in transliteratings of heroic 'chinese' citizenism names duely noted.
bank holiday tomorrow
yeah, that's it
Retail didn't rush in as expected at *cough* "all time highs" - hedge funds are leveraged to their eyeballs so POMO is it.
they really picked up volume after ZH posted the chart.
I miss Brian (Nut)Sack already!
You mean Brian Klootzak?
thank you - and in this era of fed, zirp etc, has it preceded any noteable equity market turning points? Or will ES continue to the predetermined new all-time highs under the "let's spend all we can until there is a new debt ceiling" strategy?
Tyler, can we get a view of the chart on a ten year scale? How low is this volume on a historical scale?
the volume for the last 5 years would be on the zero line and you couldnt see it....!
-51.86% in one year.
Thanks, Tyler. I also found this from BATS: http://www.batstrading.com/market_summary/help/
Of note:
"The Tape A/NYSE column shows the volume for NYSE-listed securities, the Tape B/Regional shows the volume for AMEX and Regional exchange-listed securities and the Tape C/Nasdaq column shows the volume for Nasdaq-listed securities. The Total column shows the total of the Tape A, Tape B and Tape C columns."
Thanks for this, i was trying to understand it measures which markets volumes
Combined US equity volume (or lack thereof)
What if they gave a market and nobody came?
Oh wait, we already have the answer...

Alright, you got me... I don't know what this means. Can someone teach a guy how to fish here?
Cut bait. There are no fish.
Forget bait. There is no water.
xmas from here onwards.

Just one of you MFERS yell sell. I double dare you.
Behold, the great rotation!
What is this? Some kind of volatility-measuring-derivative-index-thingie?
That is as good an assessment as any.
Tyler the DOW have you seen the DOW Look the S&P is raging like a bull with it's nuts in a vise.
LOL!
Ahh of course, so obvious. Cant see why people find this shit confusing (!)

Hello-ello-ello... Bart simpson is it U?
If you made it to ZH, you should be able to google "MVOLUSE". Come on guys, if I can operate one of these dumb phones with my extra chromosomes, this shouldn't be that difficult.
Pressing buttons - It's not just for vaginas anymore.
I like when I google it the spring break girl posted above comes up as top images. Stupid fucking spider.
Shit that drop in activity is almost as bad as December when everyone is out for the holidays!
Do you have a bbg terminal?
If yes, could you derive the complete current dollar value of S&P and Dow on that one for me?
Hey Ekm I was out with a few buddies Saturday night. We were talking about the market. One of my buddies is a bigshot at a big european bank. So I paraphrased your theory at him (Large European PD biting the dust). He brushed it off and started in with the market going to just continue to grind higher. So I kept pressing him and pressing him. Finally he said everyone knows DB is the most overleveraged, undercapitalized bank out there. But Germany is not going to let them go, never. That was pretty much the end of that conversation. Just figured I'd give you a heads up.
Thx a million. It reminds of mexico saying the night before devaluation by 40% that peso will never be devalued.
Germany is preparing for the Hefeweizen crisis.
LOL
I had to look up hafeweisen
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_beer
Do not forget that you have made a commitment that if my conjecture materializes, you'll travel to Toronto to meet me.
I look forward to it.
Not near one right now EKM. Not sure how to find that one. Here is a link that might help you. S&P | S&P 500 | Americas
I calculated dow by hand once, it was about 500 billion or less.
Assuming that only 40% of shares were floating, hence it leaves not more than $200 billions for the Fed/primary dealers to buy all floating shares.
As you know ,$200 billion from the QEs is peanuts.
I think, as of DOW 11k, every single point upwards has been primary dealers selling the same batch of stocks to each others
Down days have simply been either retails selling 401k stocks to primary dealers in order to pay bills or simultaneous cocaine/pissing/orgy breaks at primary dealer's trading desks
Nice effort but the market cap of the Dow 30 is about $4.2 trillion. So we are talking about $1.6 trillion to buy the free float if it is actually 40%.
ahhh, no., not that much.
show me the link
I'll take the effort to calculate it again this week.
Squeezing my brain right now, something tells me it was about 1.5 trillion.
Not sure.
I just did it. YOu are right. It's 4.2 trillion
Next question: What is the dollar value remained floating?

Looks like we are much higher than in December. Bullish?
lulz
It's break time or cocaine time at the primary dealers desks.
Since there's nothing floating left for trading, they simply sell the same batch of stocks to each other, but I guess it just may happen that the take simulataneous pissing breaks, or cocaine breaks or orgy breaks.
trust me break time and cocaine time are not mutually exclusive.
LOL
The SMH volume has been especially pathetic since 2008. Today it is less than 300K so far. A fart would send it spiraling...
Just a heads-up — I farted in their general direction.
Is today a holiday that I forgot about, but the algos remembered?
Early Thanksgiving.
so this is the lowest volume day in the past year (non-holiday), right? is that bad? or is it just confirming what is already known that nobody is in the markets?
As was said earlier, the fire alarm bell has been disconnected.
Anybody holding any large leveraged equity positions will be worried because there's nobody to sell to. Another thought I had was that the HFTs had cannibilized each other...
If the volume stays low I'd say that the people with the best information have rearranged their deck chairs while the punters will be left holding the bag of poo. All that being said a good aggresive QE will see all the bagholders remain happy.
Now that the fed owns most everything what's left to trade?
its all about the time value of money and the "spring forward" effect
The lower the volume...the easier to "direct" this market via HFT and the like. No sellers, no buyers...just deer in the headlights.
Fed has in effect barred all the exits and is pouring gasoline on those inside the "market".
Hello...ello...ello....Is there anybody out there..?
Th great rotation is finally here! Just flip the chart!
Volume doesn't matter. This market can't take a shit. It's embalmed.
Someone's high frequency trading computer/server crash and shut down? (no not Intrade. lol)
Watch out Wall Street. A quiet Muppet is an angry Muppet.
Byrini must have taken his ruler and gone to work consulting with the Fed to make sure the market keeps rising continuously with no breaks.
Drukenmiller is right. Be long until the day you are not and don't spend 2 seconds thinking about it in the interim or thereafter.
Hello-ello-ello... is there anybody out there? Nod if you can hear me. Is their anyone?
Paraphrasing Mike Tyson: "Everybody's comfortably numb until they get punched in the face."
It looks like there was a big dip around this time last year too, if you look at the left side of the chart. So maybe it is spring break?
But but ... the market is up right? Okay. Had me worried there for a second.
1) The big players have been in this since the bottom when Bernanke tipped them to his plan. They have huge gains and can wait for a confirmed downturn to exit. They have no motivation to sell here with the Fed still talking MOAR.
2) No one else with any real money is stupid enough to buy because this market is so overbought it's scary.
3) That only leaves the Benanke slowly and gradually growing the money supply by feeding his PD friends each and every POMO day. He can only put a small amount of upward pressure (say .10 -.25 per day) or even CNBS would need to question it.
Any breakout in this market can only be shifty now. SEC are you even watching???
LMFBO @ XAU/USD 1300 -1500 GMT.
SPX500 c20 points off 2007 top. STFB.
Near zero volume or no near zero volume one thing is assured. Wall Street bonuses will be bigger next year.
No Vol Ramp soon
O.T. - Something fishy going on with Apple, huge spike in the past 15 minutes.
I thought the chart was the Louse index when I first looked at it.
@ 428 on my screen...
Oh, boy - volume low, just in time for Fed's epic press conference on the 20th.
perfect time to buy
Euro momentum ignition? Hmmmm......
The fuller a glass gets, the less you can swirl it without spilling.
I think I'm going to go and test that theory immediately. It's pretty quiet...
Why do the markets keep rising? It is because the economy still sucks and is not getting any better. You keep trying the same thing and expecting a different result.
Lower/Lowest Vol Markets...recent History:
S&P: March 12 2012: Index "ramped" from 1404 all the way to 1408 on March 26th. Two more weeks...then...-9% over the next 2.5 months.
Going back to 08 and equivalent low volume times: S&P at 1360, (had already started decline), ended March 09 at 683, a healthy 50% drop.
Nasd low vol history:
After hitting a noteworthy lack of volume, March 2012, Nasdaq drifted 3055 to 3091, 1.2% and two weeks of gains, then decline -11% lasting two months.
Similar Low volume memories: Aug. 27 2007, 2596 up another 8.2% over two months, then, the...correction...to 1293 or 54% drop to March 09 lows.
Perhaps one would think this just might mean 2 more weeks to 2 months of drifting higher, then, maybe, a negative day or week. Some might say a noteworthy drop of 7% plus.
My humble opinion...this market...never...declines...again. Ever. For this time is different. And with the economy fixed, I will take my bullish winnings, thanks to my new right-mindedness courtesy of Fedexcellence, I will be at spring break 2014, front row, IV and all my American dreams coming true.
End of March is coming. Few more trading days left before it goes downhill.
This is all because of thetime change for daylight saving time. A sleep specialist was saying that losing that hour of sleep can be very disruptive and can cause a person to be sleepy all day...so obviously traders are just napping. Go about your business as everything is poperating perfectly and nothing to worry about.
Stocks have reached a permanently high plateau.
