2nd Hindenburg Omen In 3 Days Stumbles Stocks; Bonds And Bullion Bid
Between new lows, new highs, advancers, decliners, lagging volumes, and stalling momentum, technicals have signaled another Hindenburg Omen (following Friday's) as the cluster builds once again. While it may not have lived up to its ominous name in the last year of liquidity, it highlights market anxiety and internals are growing more concerned... still believe the taper is priced in? Strength in Treasuries and gold (and silver) suggest safe-havens are being sought after. VIX is on the rise once again (and its most inverted in over 2 months); and even JPY carry traders (which dragged stock lower tick fgor tick with EURJPY once again) reduced exposure.
2nd Hindenburg in 3 days...
as carry traders sent stocks lower.... fun-durr-mentals...
Gold and silver surged...
As did bonds amid a seeming safety bid...
And VIX is its most inverted in 2 months...
and some context over the last 3 days...

The answer seems obvious....just inject more hot FED cashola.
Move along. There's nothing to see here.
Look on the bright side. The Premier's plane may malfunction and crash-land in a cold place like, say Iceland, on the way back from the party Mandela died to give him, and he gets chopped in half by a wing.
Such a shame, and Mandela invited all those people to his funeral just so they could meet our Premier!
Gosh, what a terrible tragedy.....
When life gives you hindenburg, make hindenburger.
According to the Stuka Dive bomber, Ben Hunt, of Epsilon Theory:
So if you’re reading Epsilon Theory for specific trade ideas, here’s one:
short VXX every time it pops its head up on a big down day as investors rush to buy "volatility protection".
Hedge it out with some sort of long straddle on the S&P 500 or short positions on underlying stocks if you want to be cautious, but you really don’t need to. So long as most investors mistake instability for volatility (and unless Epsilon Theory gets a LOT more distribution I think it’s safe to say that will persist for a looooong time) this is an archetypal behavioral trade. I’ll let you know if the informational structure shifts so that volatility really does raise its ugly head.
Ya but -- why is the dollar down on taper talk? And Gold up? (Gold up probably because so many shorted anticipating taper that the trade became too crowded.) And Bonds up? Seems like the markets are tightly wound up preparing for taper, and anything could happen.
Bullish,
We had 5 Hindenburg omens 4 Months ago and market is much higher now... That makes total of 7 hindeburg omens in last 5 months...
With Fed printing Hinderburg Omen lost it's credibility...
to FED
I don't think the Hindenburg Omen's a very useful indicator...
I can't believe these fucking douchebag 'masters of the universe' let all the major indices close red today. What the fuck is wrong with them?!? Don't they understand how close it is to Christmas? Dammit, people are counting on the Santa Claus rally to pay the bills! Fuck, swap these fucking losers out and get somebody in there who knows how to run a 'market'.
Oh, My God, I just figured it out!
Bath House Barry is going to steal Christmas!!!
what about a BONUS CHART!?!?
Is this anything like the hemlich maneuver?
..... You're gett'n close.
bend the fuck over and i'll get you that bone-ass chart.
ZH still publishing Hindeburg Omen? LOL This has provided great opportunity to buy the dips.
BTFATH on the dips? No thanks.
I am too concerned about buying a dropping knive and then having nearly nothing left. Although buying the dips in Au and Ag feels a lot less awkward to me.
umm no, buying the dip after a hindenburg omen
I bought it earlier today for a day trade to scalp around my main position, which is short and I got roasted.
At least TWTRs up. If it can just run 5%/day until Christmas that should make up for the gigantic fuckup that TPTB are allowing in the broader market.
Over the past 5 years the market has seen about 15 hindenberg omens, each failing to deliver, so its level of usefulness as a predictive mechasim has been greatly minimized. Eventually one will work again, but as long as QE continues...whatever.
Yes, but The Premier needs to have an emergency to declare Martial Law before he is kicked out for O'LeechCare (TM).
"Hey, my leg is broken. I need help."
"Sorry, sir, this facility is reserved for High Party Officials and their guests. There is a pharmacy down the street. Get moving, prole!"
The Fed's Hindenberg Put solves all.
The Hindinburg AirRaid Siren just went off. Be alert.
There seems to be a pattern where gold goes up a week or so before the Fed meeting, and then gets smashed shortly after no taper is announced. Someone thinks taper might be good for gold?
don't make it more complicated than it is. Ask yourself one simple question; "What will the price of anything be when all fiat is no longer accepted by anyone?"
Then, hedge accordingly.
For years, a name synonomous with an inflated balloon - taking the lives of so many, and now, decades later, finally vindicated, The proud Hindenburg name associated with the greatest inflated bubble of all time, about to engulf the fortunes of so many. Knighted and linked together forever with its own contemporary abbreviation: BTFD.
Ahhh, a wonderful family story. All's well that ends well.
And in the spirit of the holiday season, I'd like to wish everyone a Fuck you BernankeYellen! and a Rot in Hell Obarry to all!
Hindenburg, death cross's, this is worthless bankster speak.
Ahhhhhh, remember the good old days of price discovery. Now it's just Fed BS speak with the Emperor giving the thumbs up or thumbs down.....whatever happened to the Roman Empire, it was all going so well!
NOT for distribution in US, €U or UK hTTp://therebel.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=721143:icelanders-overthrow-government-and-rewrite-constitution-after-banking-fraud-no-word-from-us-media&catid=135:news&Itemid=1229
The 0.01% won't be happy when they get back from Soweto http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jqzUX8fkMk
Yeah, and you wouldn't want to come home from Soweto to a dead cat bounce, would you?

Man, the no-class faggot was laughing and taking pictures of himself- at the funeral!
This guy lives in a bubble like Adolf Hitler did in the Last Days: no awareness of the outside world other than in his imagination.
Thankfully, Bath House Barry has a Soviet Media Organization in operation.
No word from the new Official State Media will ever escape about this turn of events in Iceland. I imagine Backdoor is busy having Iceland erased from all US maps.
"If you like your Soviet, you can keep your Soviet-or else."
Oh, another Hindenburg. On a long enough timeline, Durden will get the timing right.....
Possibly, USD is getting smashed which could indicate Asian liquidation, imo the FED knows a USD crisis is imminent (free fall to 2011 lows) so they are trying to jawbone on the 80. VIX hulk smash is the leveraged greed engine attempting a Santa rally.
This market could blow any-day
The Fed is eating Hindenbugers all the time now.
Their also eating bear burgers as well.
Expect a Christmas rally to lift the middle finger to any bears left.
well, anyways the stack got 6 higher today. nice break above 1250 with solid bid and close.
should bring in the easy riders...
The Hindenburg Omen is actually a positive indicator in these markets because it implicitely infers the fed will be there to backstop the market. Zero Hedge has to start looking at the world while standing on their heads and looking through a mirror. Everything is upside side, left to right and back to front . . . . . OK, OK, your reflection in a mirror isn't back to front otherwise you'd be looking at the back of your head . . . . . but you know what I mean.
Naomi Prins has a very interesting 20 minute interview with Greg Hunter this week. Basic points:
• If one studies the founding of the Fed in 1913, there was never discussions of one of its functions to effect the economy and unemployment. Its purpose was to protect its member banks and control the dollar exchange rate.
• The current discussion of the tapir is a load of MSM BS (and also, unfortunately, the alternative media) to distract the unwashed. QEinf has only one real purpose - to keep the big six TBTF banks on life support by a continually transferring (100 cents on the dollar) the toxic MBS garbage they created to the public (under the Matrix mindfuck that the Fed is somehow a governmental institution). Bond buying on the part of the Fed is to keep the interest rates low, also to keep insolvent TBTF banks from going belly up. If the Fed stopped their support, the TBTF would be almost instantly bankrupt. The stock asset bubble is just a collateral artifact of keeping the banks on life support. One amazing thing about this is that despite the trillions taken off their books, the TBTF are still insolvent and give little sign of leaving that condition in the forseeable future. As the prime directive of the Fed is to keep the big six banks alive, the tapir is, like the unicorn, a mythical beast. She also suggests that one look at the rise in stock prices of the TBTF versus the S&P500 since QEinf started.
• She feels that the Fed can keep this game going for quite some time and regards a crash in 2014 as possible but improbable.
