Efficient Market Hypothesis: Up 50%, Then Down 50% In 90 Minutes
Remember that infamous business school in Illinois known for its farcical and utterly ridiculous hypothesis that the market is efficient? We disagree. Exhibit A: nationalized mortgage lender, Fannie Mae, and no news.
Fannie Mae has been in much demand in recent days. Having risen from $0.295 to $1.08, it smashed higher today to $1.47 (~50% surge from the close) only to plunge minutes later in a linearly spectacular way that only an efficient human could execute we are sure, to $0.55 (a 50% plunge from the close)...
and over the last few days... 'normal'

My ass is more informationally efficient than these "markets".
Well, they are the most efficiently manipulated in the world...
Who said these are still markets?
just a little basic price discovery, the basis for all US capital markets
Damn if i bought at 55 cents 15 minutes ago, I would have nearly doubled my money....What a fuckin joke.
It’s gotta’ be meth..
Some traders are obviously way overclocked.
If they have 'stop losses', why not 'stop-gains' ?
Why on earth would you want to stop gain? Sp.ed.
Just so. If I had all of Lloyd's juice, I couldn't run stops any more efficiently than that.
Give the Devil his due.
thats what penny stocks with not much liquidity do....
MOAR momo
Bankrupt penny stocks used to only go one way regardless of liquidity and thats to .00 . GM had the same action before the plug was pulled .
Pink sheets, Bitches.
We're all option traders now.
That is debatable. Both have shit exiting from it and both are getting wiped.
Cyprus banks just cashed out. They closed on 3/15 I believe when the climb started. PPT and others helped push the price up till they cashed out.
Consider it the new taxing method. If you bought this stock over the past few days....you were TAXED!!
perfectly normal in the new normal.
Markets are very efficient, as long as you have the news before the muppetz...
Fluctuating, Normal Market Action
I thought that last chart was the AAPL 2 year.
Table or Booth?
But, but ... Warren is going to save FNMA....
The market IS efficient [in transferring the earnings of your labor to wealthy European banking families]...
This is the first time you took the time to distinguish these elitist evil European banking families from Jewish people. +1
Yeah... because as we all know... Those "families" [let's use the number '100' as PAR, &, for shits & grins, &, for the sake of the argument, assume that the EXACT number of those "families" is 100]... By consequence ~ if there were an OVER-REPRESENTATION of those 'families' being jewish, it would tend to mirror the actual representation of people who call themselves JEWS [worldwide] which is less than 1%...
So I'm to assume that out of ALL the 'European Banking Families' in that 100=PAR model, [which is somewhat of an acknowledged FACT... even, apparently, by YOU]... LESS THAN ONE of them is jewish...
~~~
My 'dark horse' hedge money is on the evil Episcopalians...
~~~
I read recently that 47% of all 'American' BILLIONAIRES are of jewish descent... They must be REALLY REALLY SMART...
Just don't start calling them Khazars. That will really get them pissy.
lol
Efficiently unefficient, they were half right.
Looks like a nice game of "Pong"

otcbb or pinks, meh
why the fuck does this still even exist as a nominally private investment for people to game?
I know, same answer as for everything else, it's one big corrupt scam.
every casino has a section where the hard core degenerates hang out
Why they still trade . Huge volume = transactional fees.
it is efficent....but only in the semi-strong form though....yea....that's it!
Looks like Ben tried to exit!
Cue the SEC insider-trading investigation in 3,000,000....2,999,999.....2,999,998
Somebody in congress just made a shitload of money and dumped every share at once.
PPT cashing out. Gathering dry powder for next fiasco due soon.
In real news Harry Reems just saved some of the SS fund.

FNMA - A Brief History
FRANKLIN RAINES [D] – FNMA CEO (1999 – 2004) Raines accepted “early retirement” from his CEO position while the SEC pretended to investigate accounting irregularities. Fannie’s own OHFHEO also accused him of abetting widespread accounting errors, including the shifting of losses, so he and his fellow execs could “earn” large bonuses. The WSJ reported back in 2008 that Raines was one of several cronies that received below market rates for mortgages from Countrywide. Raines alone receive loans for over $3 million while CEO of FNMA. Raines’ compensation for his “work” at FNMA - $90 million.
RAINES GRADE – F
DANIEL MUDD [R] – FNMA CEO (2005 – 2008) Before becoming CEO of FNMA, Mudd worked at the Office of the Secretary of Defense, was an advisor to Asia-Pacific Economic Corp., “served” on the board of the Council of Foreign Relations, “consulted” at the World Bank, and held many positions at GE Capital including president and CEO. Mudd was dismissed as CEO of FNMA when FHFA became conservator in 2008. In 2011 Mudd and other GSE execs were charged by SEC with securities fraud. After his career at FNMA Mudd became CEO of a NYC hedge fund named “Fortress”. Fortress invested in purchasing tax liens on delinquent property taxes from local governments under many benign corporate names such as “Pleasant Valley Capital” and “Travis Farm Investments”. Cozy. Mudd’s compensation for his “work” at FNMA - $80 million.
MUDD GRADE – F
NEEL KASHKARI [R] – FNMA CEO (Tenure is murky) Kashkari was a former investment banker for Goldman Sachs, was tapped by Hank “The Shank” Paulson to lend his skills over at TARP HQ, and now rather ironically, continues God’s work as a Managing Director at PIMCO. Kashkari’s compensation for his “work” at FNMA is also murky; I’ll just assume it was too much.
KASHKARI GRADE - F
HERB ALLISON [D] – FNMA CEO (2008 – 2009) The esteemed Mr. Allison was quickly whisked off to oversee the wildly successful TARP program. I didn’t find much on his compensation during his brief stint as FNMA CEO. Allison served in various positions at Merrill Lynch and became a member of the board in 1997. He was a director of the NYSE from 2003 – 2005.
ALLISON GRADE – F
MICHAEL WILLIAMS [?] – FNMA CEO (2009 – Jan 1, 2012) Mr. Williams is a 20 year veteran at FNMA. While “serving” as FNMA CEO, Williams managed to scrape by on less than $6 million in 2011 alone. This could and should be considered a hardship, given the complexities involved in purloining ~ $60 billion of Fed bailout money.
WILLIAMS GRADE – F
FANNIE’S MAJOR DANCE PARTNER, FREDDIE MAC, HAS ALSO PERFORMED VERY POORLY.
Charles (my friends call me “Ed”) Haldeman has announced his retirement plans but intends to be a good sport and stay on with insolvent FHLMC until another crony can be found to fill his wing-tips.
That might take a while. “Serving” as CEO of the ultimate backstops for the lion’s share of the MBS Ponzi is very stressful.
We’ll have to accept former Freddie exec David Kellermann’s testimony posthumously. Mr. Kellermann was found hanging by the neck in the basement of his posh Vienna, VA home in the affluent suburb of Washington. D.C. way back in April of 2009. It is presumed he had no help and local police have stated there was no evidence of foul play.
Maybe, just maybe, these treasonous monsters will be held accountable. Modern day Nuremberg Trials are in order; this time in front of an “International Financial Tribunal”.
Check them carefully for concealed cyanide tablets. There are no excuses for being a sociopath.
There is no cure. It’s terminal.
good digging...
thanks
don't mention it
fraudie and funny!!!!
the closest? thing that exists for doing nothing other than spending tax dollars on getting fat and fatter
these guys should be in jail for wire fraud, embezzlement, racketeering and, if history is any guide, using government property as a brothel
there is not enough rope to hang these people; i recommend covering them in honey and pinning them to the desert floor in Tunisia in the path of fire ants.
One ticker is all that is needed - NFLX. How I would love to see actual break down of the trades for NFLX on a given day, who is buying and selling. Stock is manipulated to hell.
put a market cover when it was @ 184.60 or so, got filled at 185.8333, check the 10:52 print... fukn criminals
It's amazing how much money is riding on Arrested Development helping them gain a huge amount of new subs, while keeping 100% of current subs.
I mean, I love the show, but it was canceled for a reason. It really was too smart for the average American to "get".
Oh, fuck, I keep forgetting, fundamentals don't matter.
EMH, MPT, econ 101, all begin with a major fallacy that underpins their whole thesis: investors are rational
Efficient market theorists at Booth should have asked Kellog marketing guys about the naming - it is the worst named theory out there. it implies that markets are perfect (based on colloquial naming), but in fact it means that all known information is priced in, which does not mean markets themselves are efficient. To be more specific there are various degrees of efficiency and to be more specific about that FNMA - please do some Brownian motion simulations of high var stocks. You will see that what happened there could happens and therefore does not violate the efficient market theory or for that matter Brownian motion theory of stock prices.
Nice try Doodie.....I did a brownian motion simulation and then flushed the toilet.
You pencilled neck feckin' geek. To use the price movement (manipulation) of FNMA and expose it to a brownina motion is clueless, blinders on, stoopid feckin shiite.
Efficient market theorists are called "theorists" because in theory - given the laws surrounding the trading of stocks in the US....all known information is contained in the exisiting stock price.
Now, with HFT trading and FED $$ going directly into banks....how efficiently is the price discovery mechanism working dbag?
If someone has techniology and Exchange rule based advantage or prior direct Fed liquidity to pump stocks, and can legally front run (as opposed to corporate insiders) investors.....is this what you mean by different degrees of efficiency?
Stoopid fuck...what the article is saying is that the Fed and its smirking pack of jackals in the banks have been very efficient in taking out any efficiency that might have existed.
Now go take a brownian motion and make sure you wash your hands....
Yeah, but the quarks are fully informed. So, it's efficient and shit.
And the swings between more and less efficient (in terms of market pricing) is how one makes good money. Swings are a good thing. Use them.
That looks like a chart of Bernanke having an orgasm when he fucks barn yard animals.

Probably a lone algo stuck in an infinite loop trying to trade with itself.
I think it was an algo recovering from a sign error
that sounds so sad...sniff
Just Wall-E and Eva playing tag in the rubble, long long after the humans all left...
Fama and French spawned a monster in the shape of Dimensional Fuck Advisors, who bang on about EMH, like the musicians on the deck of the Titanic
SO..... Do you miss the specialist yet?
