NYSE Matched Volume Drops To New Decade Low In February
Someone is obviously not complying with the central-planner script and rotating fast enough into equities.
In February, total NYSE matched volume (defined as the number of shares of equity securities and exchange-traded products executed on the NYSE Group's exchanges), dropped 13.6% from a year ago, 9.4% from January, and at 20.5 billion shares in the 19 trading days of February, represents a fresh decade low for the exchange (source).
Perhaps it is time for central planning to take it up a level and restore some more confidence in equities as an asset class, by having the Chairman release some 30 minutes before the start of trading what the closing price for the DJIA will be every day. Only this way can one truly the Fed's dedication to getting every hotdog vendor back into the ponzi scheme that are global stocks, which unlike the last time the Fed lost control and saw the S&P cut in half in a few months, will never happen again.
Cause this time it's different.

PRETTY SOON, THOSE HFT COMPUTER ALGORITHMES WILL LOOK A LOT LIKE PONG!
for the non nerd readers, this is pong: http://jeuxserieux.ac-creteil.fr/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Pong.jpg
Remain calm. Walk, don't run through the exits.
Psst, the fire alarm bells have been disconnected.
Who needs volume?
What does volume even mean in an algo-driven world?
if a woman is telling you SIZE and VOLUME doesn't matter...
she flat out lying not to hurt your feelings...
Bore and stroke contribute to displacement.
and any shade tree hod rodder will tell you, there's no replacement for displacement.
what does "market" mean to algos? which reminds me I have to take one with me next time I go to the fish market
It makes manipulation even easier
I guess no one needs volume, but meaningful price discovery impossible without some real trade. The global economy is on life support and all monetary policy is focused on the market and currency control. Those will fail, but the failure will manifest itself in continued political and social unrest. Not a market collapse I'm now convinced...why? Because they've got this suckered propped up with duct tape, glue, sticks twigs, and pig carcasses. There's no real trade because we don't NEED to own equities to live. We just need to have access to water and food.
It like the music is slowing to a stop in the game of "musical chairs".

WHATEVER YOU BUY YOU KEEP! NO REFUND AND NO BUYBACK!
would love to short the fuck outta stocks
just dont have the balls in this environment - benny would sqeeze em too hard with 85bil getting pumped in every month
It is a bearish signal when the bears are feeling cautious. Still I agree that the S&P at least touching the old highs is a high propability event.
Lol.. Shiti, I mean C raised to buy at UBS...
What a freak show!
Buy and hold 4EVA.
Dang that's impressive! Guess ppeps are a little more reluctant to become Goldman's bigger fool than nank was hoping. Oh well - does that mean the stress tests will need further adjustment?
Black Swan on the horizon? Or is that a chinese flying pig?
A Feinswine?
Or is that a chinese flying pig?
Hope they're the flying kind....cause they can't swim worth crap.
Black swan (or non-swimming pig) won't be in equities. Algorithms are now in control to prevent equity price variation beyond mandated levels (VIX control), and fueled by infinite liquidity. People keep waiting for the market crash but the market will stay intact while the world collapses around it.
I like that analogy to a "Twinkie".
BA-ZING!
volume zero, dow infinity bitchez
Y U No Buy Guy?
You selling (JPM)
Me, no, I'm not selling, you? (Morgan)
No way, I'd never sell you guys out, Ben would shit his pants (Goldman)
Hey, any way we can get in on this (AIG)
CLASSIC NON CONFIRMATION OF RECORD HIGHS.
A STRANGE GAME.
THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS
NOT TO PLAY.
HOW ABOUT A NICE GAME OF CHESS?
On the bright side you could say at least it's costing tax payers less money to bail out all the chairman's budies with his dow 36,000 mission. Maybe at some point he'll be able to lift IBM a few points on 300 average shares traded.
LET THE IPO'S BEGIN!!
"Perhaps it is time for central planning to take it up a level and restore some more confidence in equities as an asset class, by having the Chairman release some 30 minutes before the start of trading what the closing price for the DJIA will be every day."
Transparency!
starve the beast
Volume ? ! We don't need no stinking volume ...
Too late.
Finance ministers deep in thought: "we can't show them our badges, as they're actually Disney stickers, so continue printing and ramping"
A silly question (I know), so please be patient:
This morning I got up to look at the futures on TV to see how much money I made overnight...and I saw "Dow Futures at 19".
But here's the thing--the numbers are in a red color and I've never seen that before. I went to the same channel I always do, so it's not a because of the network. I went to their website to see if they had any kind of announcement, as in "To mix things up, we are going to change the colors of our market reporting, etc., etc" But that wasn't it, either. I'm sure my concerns are overblown and I'm also sure there's an obvious explanation...but I can't figure it out!
So, without making me feel dumber than I already do, is this red color on the Futures connected to the time change?
Thanks for your time.
Yup.
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture...

The experts they agree, listen to the math.

IT'S THE PENSION FUNDS, STUPID!
Of course this all has to be carfully managed ... the ZH post on underfunded city pension funds makes it clear 'they' have to manipulate not only the bond and gold maket, but also the stock maket, fer chrissakes!
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-03-10/if-youre-chicago-or-new-york-ta...
If those pension funds go south, panic and chaos!
So for the next 30 years, anybody who THINKS about a free market is, well, silly.
Damn man, you let the cat out of the bag!
Now what are we going to talk about on ZH?
They don't care about pension funds they care about control and re-election. LOL. Not gona bother them if you die in poverty.
don't forget the insurance companies are completely fucked in this ZIRP enviroment

Must....rotate into....stawks...
I don't care about no stinkin volume. As long as Kramer is buying Amerika I am buying too. I trust him.
He's a good man
mensch.
whatever
'the cyclicality of business cycles has been artifcially excellerated with the advent of 'hft'... thusly, the boom and bust cycle's natural rhythmic breath will suffer dialysis atrophic hyper-hypoxia-- until then... this engine's timing chain finds itself spinning on a threaded algorithm of a latent base three, forced thru attrition into a disfucntional symbiotic binary abortion-- whence both machine and business cycles revert to the mean?!'
Expect a full-court press as the whoremasters try to lure retail investors back into the market to buy their overpriced shares. Look for more headlines like these:
Once in a generation buying opportunity...
Deficits don't matter...
Stocks can't go down again...
FUBAR.
Eventually I think real panic will set in, only going to take 1 major player to decide it's time to save themselves first and it will cascade after that. Not sure how they will get past the feds henchman at the backdoor but that's not my problem.
lol
Am betting on a double ALGO work today.
It can't be that retail investors are too smart. So it must be something else.
Lower volume=easy manipulation, as someone previously stated. The truth is in the DOW, the most easily manipulated, worthless index on the planet. You know if the DOW goes up or down (heaven forbid in this day and age) that the other lemmings will follow. It's simple for Benny and the central planning henchmen to boss around the DOW knowing that the perception of wealth moves to other indices. Let's see 'em all sell at the top and rake in that bundle of wealth.
damn bitchez..daddy gona drone yo ass
Pump Up da Volume.
Am I the only one that thinks this is just a sign the algos are getting tired of eating each other's lunches? They've been pushed to their effective limit and now just sit around eating their tails. Probably a bunch of them getting turned off = substantially less volume.
Please explain the measurement. Does this mean that JUST NYSE cumulative volumes are dropping or does this mean that the sum of the cumulative volumes on all exchanges are plunging?
If it's just NYSE, then who gives a bleep. There are many other exchanges. If it's sum of all exchanges, then it's something interesting.
Short NYX I guess.
what do u mean, cnbc is always telling its viewers at the end of the day, that there are lot of people jumping into to buy. lol
the next time there is volume will be when this entire thing crashes
I heard one of those money guru on radio, as I woke up Sunday, saying how great the market was doing with 80 billion new money going in the last two months. Of course he didn't mention the 170 billion going in from the FED. So, 90 billion going out.
LOL. Great idea. Announce the close price ahead of the open. I'll play.
WHERE'S KRUGMAN!!!?????
WE WANT AN EXPLANATION NOW!!!!
Maybe volume fall is related to compettion across exchanges..........? don't know how that works exactly
This part of the cycle is called "thrill" or "euphoria" it's the last part, when the retail investors get in, then the cycle ends and the money changes hands. All that is needed now is the trigger event.
next stop Flash crash... blamed on fat finger MK II
