Select Highlights From Goldman's End Of Trading Recap

Tyler Durden's picture




 

From vampire squid:

Some color on the extent of the selling from Laine Litman on the futures desk: Starting 6 minutes before the cash close we saw a strong sell off in ESM3. As predicted, volumes and volatility were high. We sold off 7 handles before the additional quick crash of 4.25 points in the final few seconds. Over 110k contracts traded in the last minute. This is the largest non-quarter end volumes seen since November 2011 (117k) and the largest volumes since June 2012 (111k).

Oh, so thaaaaaaat's where the volume was hiding.

A little end of month portfolio rebalancing, by the close Tuesday it will be as if today never happened.

I would suggest that all prepare for the worst Global Collapse in written record and know that all the powers to be are aware of what comes; More, the elite Bankers and their government servants, politicians, bureaucrats and Economists are preparing to survive by scamming/stealing/taxing/taking the people of everything they have.

GEAB excerpt - The Fed's last bullets The poker game played by the Fed is coming to an end. The bet was that support of finance and real estate would allow a revival of the real economy before having to withdraw this support because of an untenable position going forward. This programme enabled the country to gain access to cheap credit, which is already a success. But as regards the real economy, apart from having created new bubbles, the bet appears to have been lost. As we have seen, the situation hasn’t got better, quite the contrary...

LEAP/E2020 - Excerpt GEAB N°75 (May 16, 2013)

I suggest even further, that Greenspan knew this during the last days of the Clinton Administration and hence why he openly lobbied the White House for the Iraq Invasion which George W Bush effected (I wrote about this at the time). But now, it is Them and Us and we are their food and means of survival. I have written this opine since 2006 but I am not an Economist - so what the hell would I know! My advice now is to buy Gold, Silver, food and have the means to survive to assist in your community those less fortunate because, be assured, the elite are not going to help anyone but themselves.

The Modern day Dark Age is now upon us and our worst enemy is ourselves: This didn't need to happen. Remember, everything you read in the MSM is construed propaganda and lies.

Interesting this because there was also a very heavy dump in the Aussie ASX 200 yesterday at the closing auction, ramped volume to the highest level in many months.

They dumped the most expensive banks in the world.

I think this means Monday opens down. But, will it keep going down?

In the race to ZERO credibility, there is a tie between The Dictator, the IRS, Congress, Hillary, and GS.
