But... hadn't this brilliant, vacuum-tube controlled market priced in every possible Ukraine contingency? Or maybe the GDP miss wasn't bad enough?

Sheeple - Slaughter. Yea thats the ticket
Top? I'm not hearing any bells...
I'm glad I stuck with my SPY puts. I'd like to see a close on the S&P below $1,850.40.... come on "other green" (ie, RED).
Today's PM slam appears to have had some reasoning behind it for the first time in a long while.
Just the new excuse to dump. BTFD. Nothing has changed.
This is what caused it:

I'm sure that Goldman told Russia when to do the invasion. Goldman wanted to have all their puts and shorts in place before the russians started looking for vacation rentals in the ukraine
George Soros has told Vladimir Putin how to short for $1 trillion.
Wow... I just got back from shooting my new Ruger American rifle in two feet of snow and 10 degrees.. (but its a dry cold!) and come back to see the market went red at one point after that blistering surge this morning.
I shoulda just stayed out there til I ran out of ammo cause it would have been crashing by now!
Your right.
Long guns, ammo and plenty of practice. No sunshine patriots or summertime soldiers!
Short American intellegence and Ukrainian independence (or Euro backed socialists).
"(but its a dry cold!) "
I love it...Thanks for the laugh!
Short SPY long GLD 150 April '15 calls, this rocket is refueling
That's my trade too. I also bought some silver calls after the smackdown earlier this week.
Also, check TSLA and PCLN - might be good for a quick scalp going down.
Why wouldn't there be a ramp today? Who wouldn't want to be levered long at the beginning of a weekend when Russia seems to want to start a war? Rally on, I'm sure it ends well.
Gonna be an interesting weekend.
Wake up Monday in different world.
Fun while it lasted.
Many...MANY...sweet ES shorts! It's about fucking time. What a nice drop. Eat it perma-bulls.
Edit: Now that the mkt dropped a whole 20point, it's "priced in." Was the problem solved? No but why would that matter.
thats pretty much a free 20 points just buy the dip, 1900 is a given and we will be making new highers highs by tuesday.
Maybe b4 the close?
Stawks are now UP on the day -- that's ALL that matters! War? Who gives a fuck; is da maaawwwkit up???
yup, new closing highs, I am sure in the post market / pre market next week they will goose em up to new lifetime highs so the 401ks and other funds can BTFATH on the open. That has been the MO for years now.
when money is infinite - never a shortage of buyers...it's sellers we may run out of.
@ Kevin Henry and TPPT - IT'S SHOWTIME!!!
and now it's Miller Time...you've done one heck'uva job saving the important* people of this nation from a imminent dangerous (likely Russian plotted) attack on our paper net wealth.
*only the top .005% are important...fuck the rest
I surrendered gracefully this morning at 1861 for -$575; because I was top-picking and what I picked wasn't a top.
Just jump on the bus when it comes past, no need to sweat it. I used to get about one in six right on a top/bottom pick (if that), gave up before I gave myself a coronary. Bad luck though SAT, but chin up, they'll be plenty of action when it all finally goes to shit. I keep looking back at GBP/USD slide 2008. + 6000 free pips anyone?
Getting printing Yellen you stupid fucking cunt!!!!
Print faster pig!!!!!
BRING IT.
but but but...isn't war bullish? isn't everything bullish?
Notice how when oil goes from 105 to 95 it will boost GDP? But when it goes from 92 to 102 it has no impact.
Heifers are definitely bullish.
"Need more penile pills"...
gold not flinching much here
miners holding
Change that wig, talk like a realtor Janet, lie and deny, and Print those stocks, for the sheeple...LOL
it only goes up, right....
Too warm.
weather
This "market" is a crash waiting to happen.
It's waiting for a reason. It needs a scapegoat.
What this "market" needs is millions more bagholders.
ZH risk off post stops the sell of it's tracks once again. Amazing. Check the time stamp on this post with a dow/S&P chart.
That's because that fat cunt Yellen is feeding the printer again. Only $65B in leveraged cash to fuck with this time.
Did someone mention SHORTAGES and PRICE CONTROLS?
My bad. took some more profits this AM.
"free markets" and all...
/s, (regarding the free markets, not the profits)
you would think that gold would finally move higher...have the markets become so jaded about "bad" news and international events that you need actual bombing to take place to get a move in gold nowadays??
what did u expect....ITS COLD!!!!!!!!!
These markets are absolutely fucking manic! F/X is chopping around wildly without any direction. I've seen this before and it usually has preceded a substantial selloff.
The usd has been heavily sold over the last 24-36 hours even though the u.s. equity markets were higher until very recently. Also bond yields have edged higher. The usd will bounce in the near future and equities won't like the stronger dollar and higher yields.
and there's the bounce
let's see if it lasts
I missed another opportunity to get ass raped. Why don't I just BTFATH? So sorry folks, I can't relate to the pain.
There is no way any human being in their right mind could be buying right now. No one has any idea what's going on on the ground in Ukraine. This has got to be the PPT
humans have not been buying for a long time.
its all computers, u think that any human would sit there when we get terrible data and say '' let me buy'', no its all algos programmed to buy everything .
u think any human would say '' let me sell my aapl shares for example because a possible conflict in ukraine?
it would make no sense, humans r out, its all algos pretty much, and that is why when this thing finally crashes it will happen so fast.
I'm in a frenzied btfd like no time in buying history, cuz whenz it warms up GDP should ramp to 25% plus.
February has been strongly risk on; 'tis last day of the week and last day of the month to paint risk off, so 'they're' hitting buy stops before another push north. Should be some almighty gaps over the weekend in FX land...
I seriously doubt "they" will let the market close red today...
Since 5am last night GMT, GBP, EUR & CHF have been strongly bid pushing the markets to risk off, but NZDJPY is itching to blast north.
It's just the minutiae machinations of a stop hunt...
yep look at this natural buying activity coming in. it's like they are turning a dial.
Lol, always so quick to jump on any 0.5% 'plunge' and blow it out of proportion on those charts.
Soundtrack into the close.
always a good time to buy.
The cold weather made Russia invade Ukraine
the algos are throwing everything but the kitchen sink to push this motherfucker higher into the close.
I would expect an epic dump after the bell on the /ES
Significant dump though, not just a grind. Someone cashing out.
And risk back on.
Hate to break it to you, but once again ZH doom-mongers have jumped the gun. Eight minutes left and S&P headed for a new record.
you should be buying more of everything before the bell. you know, so you don't miss out on any big winners because as you probably know, this market will continue to rise and rise and rise for ever and ever and ever...
Dude you forgot about the later friday afternoon trick the slaves ramp!!
LOL..........the tube jokes will go down in history with 'fuck ben'.
Algos halted the major selloff
The sickest segment of all didn't even budge down...housing is the FED's favorite
buy the ___
hint: the answer is "put"
You can thank me. I have been short for two weeks and covered my shorts within a point of the high today.
No war. New agreement in place to placate the masters...
Monday will show new highs as war fears over.
Back to cooking the books.
Amazing chart on the HARPEX (container shipping rates):
http://www.harperpetersen.com/harpex/harpexRH.do?timePeriod=Total&&dataT...
It has pretty much flatlined over the last several years - the shippers must be getting ripped bloody on the shoals at these low "recovery" rates!!
Also for you shorts above, don't get your knickers all in a knot as yet. Wait a bit until the $NYSI rolls over a bit - there is too much up momentum as yet to get serious about exposing your butt in a short position:
