Stocks Slammed Lower As Ukraine Claims "Invasion Possible At Any Moment"
While stocks have been fading every bounce so far - and credit markets are particularly weak - it seems the following headline sparked the most recent wave of selling:
- *UKRAINE HAS INFORMATION THAT IT IS 'IN DANGER', LUBKIVSKY SAYS
- *LUBKIVSKY SAYS INVASION IS POSSIBLE 'AT ANY MOMENT'
The Russell is the worst on the day but the Nasdaq is now at the day's lows, and all are negative for the week and April.
Credit leading the way...

Good bottom call on the NASDAQ :). Also, "they"--world leaders, etc-- are a little early on the geopolitical gloom and doom. They are supposed to wait until after-hours on Friday--the worst to hit Sat- sun, resolution by market open Monday (or maybe Tues) for required rally on good news (hey, WW3 has been averted. yah). It is almost a little too strange how this has played out like this over the past months (to include the Syria situation).
Well, it is nearing 330.
how nice of putin to play footsie with the west until after options expiration....
Janet told me no invasions allowed until the market closes
House rules
Wait.
I'm confused
Who's gonna invade who this time?
We're all coming over to your place, Knukles, so have lots of chips and drinks ready, OK?
SOMEBODY'S got to pay for all of this, so, why not you?
CW
Wait until 3:30. Then expect the PPT to jump in for that last minute hurrahhhhh........
But then of course after hours we'll fall off a cliff on no volume.
Then the new mantra will be "BTFNW"
as in "Buy The Fucking Nuclear War."
Face it, they are going to prop this thing up until the EMP's blow out the entire system. Then they'll offer a convenient "One World" solution to fix everything, saying that they will restore your previous wealth somehow (but not really).
Who could say no to that?
Amazing how gold is contained during this "crisis". Go ahead.....Pile on this controlled sell off shorts. Old Yeller has a trick up her sleeve for you.
She does? What trick is that? More of the same old? Good luck Janet.
Doesn't matter if it's moar if the same. They keep falling for it don't they?
The system is broken. Must be really tiring for the peope who broke it to keep up the facade.
Imagine walking to the bank every day with sacks full of cash. Yeah...it would be tiring...but you would keep doing it for a long time.
Why when the cost to them to prop it up is zero.?
The cost to them might be zero in the short run, but on a long enough timeline...
DBTFD
Die motherfucking nazi's!
Tyler lets see if you still have your voodoo/mojo today.
These things are going to fukkin rip...they have been selling treasuries for 4 hours, stocks meltup into close...
I see the 10 year at 2.66%, that's down 2.5 bps on the day.
You do realize "selling" would drive that yield up?
5yrs have dropped 5 1/2 32nds in the last 4 hours chief...yields have gone up!
The 5 yr instrument is 1.73%, down 1.5 bps on the day. It's right there on the data.
I'm going to refrain from calling you an idiot, yields may be down on the day, but have risen for the last 4 hours while stocks have dropped...that's my point
Feel free.
You shouldn't be in the market anyway. Sell it all and buy farmland.
only if its a hooker farm
naw, stocks aren't affected until a nuke hits the Mariner Eccles building
even more bullish! all those broken windows !
<update> Selloff stopped in tracks, stocks rally within seconds of ZH post.
bullish ! BTFWW3D
Head of the Natl Sec Council (departed in 2013) interviewd on Bloomberg and was fool enough to say that there will be no US military use in Ukraine.
I truly don't think the US govt understands that oil is everything and Russia has it. They are believing their own shale propaganda and it is going to be a major shock when that rolls over.
Well, well, well. We shale sea what the outcome of this will be.
There is so much oil off the coast of San Diego that it rolls up onto the beach in big balls of oil tar. The gulf of mexico spews more oil out into the water than we take from it. We just got hippies in the way of getting it. So if this charade continues and we have the new "cold war" there will be no more excuses not to go after it. Obumbles is being flexible and the so called sanctions are just the new markets settling themselves, all according to both of their plans. No one will intervene in East Ukraine.
Now China is trading oil in other than FRN....look out!
Sell in May and lock the bunker.
BREAKING NEWS FROM THE ROTHSCHILD NEWS NETWORK:
*UKRAINE HAS INFORMATION THAT IT IS 'IN DANGER', LUBKIVSKY SAYS
*LUBKIVSKY SAYS INVASION IS POSSIBLE 'AT ANY MOMENT'
And with that the Rothschilds wash their hands and drive to the Hamptons.
The markets ignore real dangerous info... but believe the nutjob in Kiev? LOL?
Yes imagine that! The whole shooting match is a ruse.
Watch the headfake- this market is crashing into the close-- who would hold MOMO thru this weekend
the FED.
Only username 'Flux' is holding stawks, still up for the week month year somehow I'm sure but he'll only post if MOMO's are up and markets safely closed.
Is Gartman bearish again?
It's becoming crystal clear that POMO, NY FED securities lending (11AM) and reverse-repos (12:45PM) of >$150 billion/day are all being used as tools by primary dealers to defend their shorts on treasuries.
They are losing the grip.
Central planning finally failed and they need a scapegoat "It's all Putin's fault".
Exactly, this is just grand theater on the world stage. Doesn't anyone realize that TPTB are happy to have Putin driving up the price of ALL energy with all this war posturing? TPTB only care about MOAR money, and that comes from world trade. How else can TPTB get ALL energy prices UP during a worldwide recession, except with a War Premium? Better yet, the end result of this ratchet effect will be TPTB distracting the masses that paying more for ALL energy is Putin's fault. The bottom line is, TPTB want this more then anyone. It's 2007/2008 all over again, which was just 1999/2000 all over again. Pump & Dump, Rinse & Repeat. It's all just part of wealth redistribution from the masses to the elites. This isn't real until we have a full blown trade/currency war, and there isn't any hint of that. Toothless sanctions, and military maneuvers ain't it. Cut off the oil, maybe with an act of sabotage, or launch a shipping embargo and start stopping and searching ships, and then this is real. Absent that, it's all theater.
Time for a Golden Jackass update:

Send in the Fed shitstorm troopers with their fat fingers! Hurry up and BUY! Precious stawk life is being placed in danger!
Why does this feel like Ukraines only corporate strategy is to rely on thier director of public communications who's only ammunition is to cry wolf every five minutes???
They think the US will come to their rescue and put US troops on the ground in the Ukraine, lol, I guess that is the bull Joe was sent to pass on as they restarted their provocations in the east following this visit.
Can't we just dress up all the responsible banksters in gladiator gear and put them in a big ring to duke it out?
This war is about money, of course. So let THEM fight to the death. Jamie would last for a second or two even against my aunt with the walker.
Stack the lead, fuck the Fedsters.
Well that recent wonder rally in the S&P500 didn't last very long. Too bad I didn't short it; I should have.
Well, Putin did say the financial attacks on 'the west' were now commencing.
This is the 35th iminnent invasion so far this month.
BTFD. Banksters are all short waiting to buy back in with fresh fiat.
Again, they were invaded already by the global financial oligarchs.
Didn't the Ukraine let the IMF in? Russia is now the least of their problems
"Wars and rumours of wars."
He forgot to mention it would go on forever. One could say it's been this way for at least 100 years.
That's not the only indicator- all the events spelled out must be occuring, along with the fulfillment of the rise of the Eighth King (Rev 17:11), the fall of Babylon the Great (Rev 18) and the consecutive signs given in Rev 12, Joel 2:31, Matthew 24:9.
Reds under the bed....well at the border if your in the Ukraine, remember to check under your bed tonight before going to sleep, your country needs you to.
