Stocks Soar On Egypt Coup News, Ongoing Portugal Crisis
One has to laugh. Following overnight news of an ongoing collapse in the Portuguese government and an epic surge in Portuguese bond yields, not to mention the ongoing military coup in Egypt, the S&P just hit highs as trading volume disappears and the BTFD algos take over. All we need now is news of a meteor headed straight for Manhattan for the ES to be halted limit up.
Update: The melt up on no volume insanity continues:

Party hats for everyone!!
Something is happening in Dubai...they are broke again. And Saudi nationals are sabre rattling against the king again.
Ya because a civil war on the Suez Canal is totally stabilizing for the region!! If you think Syria is complicated, wait until this shit hits the fan!!!
Bullish today though, buy you little rat bastards, buy!
These expletive markets! Piece of $hit!
Seventh seal broken! Riders of the apocalypse unleashed! STOCK MARKET HITS RECORD HIGHS!
War boner! Woo hoo!
Wait, how will this date look in the morning?
Doh!
Sometimes, when I read ZH, I like to pretend that I know what I'm talking about and I let the random liquid shit in my head plop out of my head and onto this page.
Oh SHIT! You too?1? Well damn man keep reading below b/c tha liquidity of this fine grit bullshit only gets more and more runny.
And they want me to sell my phyzz and "get back in the market before it's too late!". Fuck that. Not interested in playing in a rigged casino filled with financial vampires searching for muppets to feed on.

Total and complete manipulation through every indirect (and some may dare claim direct) tool, lever and channel they have at their disposal influencing the equity markets are LITERALLY ALL the Fed & BOJ have at this point to keep the holograms that are the U.S. & Japanese economies believable (even if only to a shrinking % of sheeple).
Ben Bernanke spent the last 4+ years building a perfectly massive equity (and bond) bubble on the pillars of a 'round the clock debt printing/check kiting sweatshop, and he'll be damned if his "Virtuous Circle" macroeconomic policy is revealed as the ponzi & pure alchemy that it is prior to his graceful exit, if he can help it.
Kevin Henry's still pitching, but Ben made the call to the bullpen and it looks like there's some activity goin' on down there, in case he needs insurance.
Amazing.....is this economy so shallow and holographic they have to do this crap? Is this all about maintaining Obama's presidency or is it more than that? I'm baffled.
It's a cage match - Sunnis, Shia, Hezbullah, Al Queda, Coptics, dogs, cats, gerbils and ferrets.
Let's get it on!
Don't forget the Feral Hogs!
Don't forget the homosexuals; they're allied with the goebbles, I mean gerbils.
Same up days on horrible news occured during the Financial crisis because Algos were buying to cover shorts, but once shorts stops were covered the markets hit new lows a few days later. Repeat. Volatility spreads widening would indicate this shift.
SELL 100%
and short till eternity
COMMERZBANK IS IN DEFAULT
Go look at the Dutch bank balance sheets. Equally screwed along with all the Nordic regions as well.
Man... it's mess that they'll never dig out of in a 1000 years.
Nordic...?
Short the financials:

FAZ is a financial sector 3x inverse ETF.
Go long on the inevitable.
I recommended FAZ to my brother this past weekend. Just watch that decay though - sideways action is bad for FAZ.
Don't put a nickle in the market. I am so serious about this. Do not perform any cash and carry trades for the next four months, it's asking for trouble. Bear or Bull, it doesn't matter, just stay out of it and pretend it doesn't exist.
5 years I've watched people play chicken and lose hard everytime. Best way to play this 'rally' is not to play. Walk away from the table.
Never ever go long FAZ. Short FAS. Decay on these is insane. Short the inverse of the inverse.
Iceland, Finland, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark. The balance sheets are really awful.
Otherwise positive exports in the area. Some great hockey players, amazing metal bands (Russia as well), Linux (it's free as in beer), Minecraft (Mojang) and some of weirdest movies I've ever seen. Individually the area excels at cool things for people. Corporate offerings, they suck horribly. Government spends far more than it'll ever bring in for half a century.
It's an area of the world that lives on credit...and they still have parliamentary systems tied to royal blood lines. It's a mess that is waiting to implode with a single missed shipment of vodka and beer.
According to IMF, here's the net government debt as % of GDP:
Norway -166
Finland -51
Sweden -18
Denmark +8
Canada +35
Germany +57
US +108
Japan +134
Greece +155
Who's living on credit and is a mess waiting to implode?
Yeah but a meteor is truly bullish, think of all the damaged windows, Krugmans wet dream....
Thought that when I saw Man of Steel and how fucked up Metropolis was after the battle with Zod. How bullish for the economy that would be!

Operation Blackjack.
Love this market.
I could hear you guffaw when you typed "market."
Don't know anyone who has laid down a nickle for a stock in 3 years
I only stocks barbarous relics, lead, arms, food, water...booze...
It's all Gold !!!
Stocks will soar on a rescued kitten.
Let's add higher interest rates, surging oil, falling mortgage apps, etc...
But, hey, it's a the BIGGEST POMO day of the month crammed into a half day...GENIUS!
Or maybe a certain squid got the employment report a couple days early...
ES TARGET 1500-1535
"I want a hamburger, no a cheeseburger. I want a hotdog. I want a milkshake..."
Happy Independence Day USSA. PPT, take me away!!!
"You'll get nothing and like it!!!"
Where's my 15k rally hat?
Good times.
Was there ever any doubt?
And in much moar better news about the rescued economies of Euro:
Analysis: Portugal, Greece risk reawakening euro zone beast"A teetering Portuguese government has underlined the threat that the euro zone debt crisis, in hibernation for almost a year, may be about to reawaken.
From Greece to Cyprus, Slovenia to Spain and Italy, and now most pressingly Portugal, where the finance and foreign ministers resigned in the space of two days, a host of problems is stirring after 10 months of relative calm imposed by the European Central Bank."

Portugal president calls crisis talks as government teeters"Portugal's president summoned main political parties for crisis talks over the government's future with markets reeling on fears that a snap election could derail Lisbon's exit from an international bailout."
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/03/us-portugal-crisis-idUSBRE9620...
Hey it's only Portugal, ...it's only Egypt,....it's only Greece. it's only Cyprus.... it's only.... feckin' printing !!
Commerzbank
Generali

''All we need now is news of a meteor headed straight for Manhattan for the ES to be halted limit up''
cried of laughter from this line, because its so true
Must close over 15k for the holiday.
The New Norm: Bloodshed = Stock Bullishness.
This is really one eff'd up world we have here.
Why don't they ever speak of POMO?
Clearly, the masses have finally learned to buy when there is blood (dog blood even) in the streets.
Fuck the Hawthorne PD BTW.
But what of the George Zimmerman trial?
Don't know much about the George Zimmerman trial, but I can certainly share a few things about the George Costanza trial. It was a festivus miracle.
Looks like they doubled the slope of the buy-algo ramp today, due to the shortened hours.
It's Tuesday!!!
Oh wait; IT'S WEDNESDAY!!!!
Bernankes manipulation money, the more he expands, the better the tools to manipulate
Who wouldn't be excited about an Obama-backed Islamofacist regime going under?
This could have been avoided if only the Egyptians had Obama-Care.
Obama and Dempsey tried to bribe the egyptian military yesterday, it didnt work.
The spice will flow! (oil).
More Abram's tanks and F-16's to be sold!
Higher bond rates mean recovering economies!
Who needs jobs!?!? Credit bitchez! Debt! QE to the moon!
If you buy a security to sell it to a greater fool, if there are no greater fools left, then you are the greater fool

Prepare for collapse. Anyday, now, any freaking day.
The coup is apparently a given; thus, I wonder how the loss to the IMF on its Egypt loans plays into Nicole Foss' inevitable capital destruction and deflation theme, as well as Denninger's reverse leverage trend...
"picture me chilling on the 4th of July
but if you heard i was celebrating that's aworld wide lie......"
independence day in a police state....truly american.........
FUCK ALL BANKERS AND THE BITCH ASS POLITICIANS THEY OWN AND GOVERNMENTS THEY CONTROL...
kiss my mother fucking ass NSa, CIa, FBi.....
bomb, kill, fuck O'bama, kill bernanke....
now mine away you fucking cocksuckers..............
I'd stop right at kiss my ass.
Just to make you feel a little better: Imagine that a group of immigrants (living in the U.S.) who have dead (murdered by Obama) family members in...pick the country, decide that for the next 60 days they are going to walk into a random branch (or headquarters) of one of the five big Bankster theives and detonate themselves (suicide bomber)...
Frankly, I am surprised it hasn't already happened, as it would surely do at least as much damage as Bin Laden.
Feel better?
I'd stop before replying to this comment....oops!
Who are those brave men running in front of those bulldozers to pick up those pennies?
Booooooyaaaahhhhh!
Lets Partee!!
Has anyone seen my 10-year yield? It was lying around down here somewhere--just awhile ago.
ladies and gents the markets are on autopilot
enjoy the ride
Chuck Hagel is in contact with the Egyptian army, trying to do his bullshit
Well, it appears that if the Bad News gets large enough it becomes Good News........and I was just getting used to bad news being just that.....
Stay tune, and watch VIX... we have a golden cross MA 50 days with MA 200 days... the last time that happens was in 2011, see the charts
Saxo Bank informing customers that Portugese govt will fall within 48 hours...
I not so sure about that...
So Saxo is wrong? Why would they issue the warning?
I live in Lisbon, Portugal and this is a scenario that can happen. But today the Paulo Portas Minister that resigns yesterday, has ALL of the CDS party against him, because of his action. All nows that Paulo Portas Minister put all the portugueses in a worst situation that we are today.
This weekend is the key for this situation. Because the CDS party they want to nomenee a new leader to CDS party and keep in the governmet with Mr. Passos Coelho, the Prime Minister from PSD party.
The atual leader of the CDS party is Paulo Portas.
Disappointed I let myself be fooled by today's crap-fest -- I should know by now in low-volume pre-holiday sessions, price action takes precendence over any early tech indicators. The simple explanation (one of many, I suppose): everyone wanting to sell based on the "uncertainty" premium did so yesterday and found their "holding" level, so with the dumpers out today and no net new buyers, there was a vacuum, so it was easy for the algos to ramp, either 'cause they found more net shorts early, or simply to prop up their current positions. While the news wasn't encouraging, it wasn't quite a doomsday scenario so, with good ADP those wanting to play Friday's NFP may have stepped in for the last 40 points or so, even with the ISM data, as the monthy algo play on NFP seems to be the top betters' table.
Bernanke, Abe and Draghi to banks:
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, KEEP THOSE MARKETS UP!!!"
Stocks did not "soar" today. The S&P closed one point higher than yesterday. The market price charts are very weak. I maintain my short position in the S&P from 1607.
No worries, selling can resume on Monday.
