"Costs" - Russia +2.35%; Nasdaq -0.3%
Spot the nation that just had "major sanctions" handed down to it...
What is fascinating is the ramp in US equities managed to catch them up to Russia's post-sanctions outperformance... before they collapsed again... almost as if someone wanted to prove that US was not suffering.

$RSX working on double bottom
Did Obiemandis give his approval?
USSA is pure suffering and only getting worse: thank your grossly out of control and incompetent gov and their masters over at The Fed...
Bitcoin. Buy it for looks, buy it for life.
Buy it 'cos you're totally fucking stupid...
I just checked the price of it today, someone dropped the 1 off the front!
fuckin 'ell. Bitcoin makes gold look gooood...
Fonestar is PORNSTAR of the Bitcoin world
He just keeps shooting the same shit over and over
The gold has been moved to Asia and India, now the dollar can regain strength. Taper on. However, this doesn't mean that gold is going down relative to the dollar. I am talking about stock market, digital dollar, not physical gold. I suspect gold is going to take off.
Yes, apparently fonestar has developed quite the following over at https://bitcointalk.org. Not sure why, as fonestar brings little to the table technically and even less in terms of trading experience.
I've heard referring to oneself in the third person, is a sign of mental illness...
Illeism. 11 famous illeists.
Fonestar's Avatar is Ezra Pound's mug shot, who spent 13 years in a mental institution, not because he was crazy, but because he was labeled a 'traitor'. Ezra was guilty of criticizing TPTB.

Okay, that was pretty good. From the looks of the last Moen I put in, I think they might need to drop that tagline anyways.

Butcoin, its your future.
Yes, Bitcoin is the future.
The EMP so bright, fonestar gotta wear shades.
Not to pick on NASDAQ, but regardless of the political climate, its intrinsic value is that of a bitcoin.
Insurance on Russian debt rising with these useless sanction and silly finance games
htTp://www.tradingeconomics.com/russia/government-debt-to-gdp
8.4% debt to GDP
The insurance is needed against US debt since they are already defaulting via QE
htTp://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/government-debt-to-gdp
101% debt to GDP
It will be interesting to see if economic sanctions can in reality do much damage to Russia. And if they did the repercussions on Europe and thus the USA could be far greater!!
Why these sanctions are useless? They will break several Western banks in the end, especially French and Italian. Maybe this is the actual plan.
Correct. One can only hope that here will be no bailouts for these fuckers this time around...
Don't worry, Germany has to bail them out ... history ... ya know?
This vol today is gnarly bro
Imperial Hubris
If that pro-Russian mayor that was shot in the back dies, then it would serve as an "Archduke Ferdinand" excuse for Putin to invade.
Ain't it funny how the timing will correspond nicely with May Day...
For you youngsters out there, May Day was a huge Soviet Union holiday that was big on military parades to intimidate the West.
Update: Well, it's hard to tell from press reports what the mayor's politics are. Now they are saying he was against Russian invasion, while others imply he switched sides (?)
May 9th, or as you call it May Day is not a huge soviet holiday to intimidate the west, but a holiday celebrating the Soviet defeat over Nazi Germany! its victory day of WWII
Do we now see WTF it means to have a low debt to GDP economy with natural resources? I personally think this is all being done on purpose to kill the dollar and have an event to blame. I suggest everyone learns how to grow food and prpare for lean times.
Exactly!
Very lean times ahead.
Funny how S&P Downgraded RUS' Sovereign Debt...
Now we know how their Credit Analysts are nothing but Drum Squads marching along the Propaganda Parade.
The problem with posting articles like this is that in 10 minutes things may change. Why bother?
I like the unfolding drama.
Better than anything CNBC has to offer.
Why bother?
It's disaster porn and it sells.
Tyler(s) jump all over fluff like this like stink on shit.
Like a bum on a baloney sandwich.
That's the whole point. It's only about change. What did you expect, resolution?
Not that I'm under any illusions about Putin, but it's kind of fun to watch the fascist imperium be made to look the fool time and again.
Take that, and THAT Putin!
Oh wait....I seem to have just stabbed myself in both eyes.
It's just a flesh wound....I'm invincible...Come back, or I'll bite your legs off!
Hold it! Next man makes a move, the nigger gets it! [/Sheriff Bart]

Or 'Pleeeeeze don't throw me in that nasty ol briar patch Brer Bama!'
Apparently Obama plays chess, but infrequently. He favors poker, which he is apparently quite good at. The one thing a chess player would expect of a poker player: bluffing.
Wait... Obama plays poker... I have to get in on some of that action. Now I really wish that he had Putin´s money.
Just wait. Obama will release the ill-tempered Sea Bass next!

That'll show 'em!
PLease tyler do not print anything about the market selling off.......please I have shorts!
and no deer!!!
All you Russian trolls, go home. And you Americans who don't know you history, give these trolls your ignorant support.
And, Zerohedge...make up you mind. One article is about the machines blindly working the market and paying no attention to 'facts', and the next, it it an article like this spam 'sally has red hair' conclusion.
No wonder so many have left this site, the old quality stories is giving way to joe blow blogs and sensationism.
Sad is all I can think of because now I have to question what I read a bit more if at all.
"All you Russian trolls, go home."
Russian trolls my ass. You fall into holes very easily.
Just because many people on ZH slam their own government does not mean they are supporters of the Russian system of government. Far from it.
The best explanation is that people are utterly disgusted and angry at what their own criminal government is doing to their country and what it's dragging their country into.
Those who fail to question and challenge the criminal actions of their government are destined to suffer its consequences. And there will be plenty.
who kicked the Nasdaq in the nuts
Fed member Tarullo when he killed the momos back in February.
From his February speech:
" For example, valuations do appear stretched for farmland, although recent data are suggesting some slowing, and for the equity prices of some small technology firms"

I think DoomJunkie is right that "the problem with posting articles like this is that in 10 minutes things may change." The graph also ignores what had already changed in the recent past - the markets have been pricing in the possibility of war for a few weeks now, so today's bump up in Russia may simply reflect that the sanctions weren't as bad as the markets expected, or a correction to what is now perceived as an earlier over-reaction, or any number of other possible explanations. Let's wait and see what actually happens in the markets and on the ground in the eastern Ukraine for the next few weeks.
I see, so because things are subject to change, we shouldn't pay attention to anything.
Well that settles that then.
You really think that's an answer to what I or DoomJunkie actually said? I didn't say don't pay attention to anything - just the opposite - I'm saying that you shouldn't think you're gaining any real understanding from a snapshot of a moving scene, and ignoring the context. Maybe you missed the part about paying attention to what was already happening before this snapshot was taken.
That chart is a thing of beauty
Geez, we keep going green to red at the all-time highs of a fake bull market in an environment of tapering while heading into summer with flaring geopolitical risks. Huh.
Nasdump
Added more OGZPY today.
Greenhorn here, but I doubt the mathematics:
1. If Russia is scaled up to roughly 1100 and shows a delta-y of 40, then the US, being scaled up to 3000+, should be scaled to a delta-y of roughly 120? Looks like the wrong sizing for the comparison.
2. Comparing the breaking news, your intersection of the two graphs should be right at the blue vertical bar.
Obama! Please sanction my bank account and my paycheck! I defaulted on my student loans- punish me. I beg of you.
Nas duck, it's coming down ...
