Someone Decided To Buy $1 Billion eMinis In 1 Second At The All Time High
Someone decided that 1436ET was the perfect time to buy $1bn worth of S&P 500 futures (10k contracts) in 1 second (and $1.8 billion in that minute)... this flush of volume is the largest minute of the day and lifted all equity indices and ETFs in one magical move. As a result of the order, bonds rallied even as and VIX is higher on the day.
14:36:20 - that was 10K eMini's in a second + $64M of $SPY
— Eric Scott Hunsader (@nanexllc) May 29, 2014
10k contracts in 1 second and 18.6k contracts in that minute...
and Bonds rallied...

That's the spirit!
We have exceptional markets...
Markets are high and freedom is low. Sounds awefully socialist if you ask me.
I'm high, too!
And I'm drinking Tullamore Dew!
I kid you not!
Gooood Irish..
You know that we had a $3 Billion POMO today
Naaah! There is NO manipulation going on here!
Please stop all this tinfoil hat stuff!
/s
Who sold them to them? Oh wait.....
Does this qualify as "Momentum Ignition"
This market is so fucked up. My only hope is the gold bars I have in my basement.
There are two sides to every trade. If somebody bought 1 million contracts then somebody else sold (short?) 1 million contracts.
Time will tell who is smart one in the trade.
The SEC does not find any conflict of interest regarding this trade as we have naturalized HFT bots in the United States.
That leaves the Fed with a few more billions to spend this month, right ? LOL
I'd gander that the Belgium consortium and it's partners are buying just about everything that needs some splaining.
Generally speaking with a chart like that it would be existing shorts that did the buying; in the form of stop losses, which are execut ed as market orders when triggered, and locals and smart money that did the selling; so I would expect that the sellers will be taking profits at lower prices within two or three days replying to ob1knob
Pretty soon we're talking about billions ... oh, wait.
these are not the E-minis
you are looking for....
Actually they are the E-minis I'm looking for; cause I'm 4,000$ out of the money on my shorts; and I think this means we're going to have some kind of move down in the next few days.
Then cheers!
BTW: It's Tullamore D.E.W.
Janet trying out her new keyboard.
Ben probably gave her a tutorial.
"Left index finger on 'Ctrl' and right index finger on 'P', with conviction now Janet."
Who says they can't print money by buying equities?
Hell, they probably buy and sell paper Gold all day.
Bullish!
Its actually Protestant Whiskey. Many a bar arguement over that one.
The Markets are so high, clouds are jealous!
The Markets are so high, Snoop (Dogg) Lion is jealous!
"Yes we can!"
cheater!!
frontruning the 3,30 ramp
no wounder i cant BTFD
Well, see that just goes to show you; it's a free market; right ? right. Someguy who's been saving up his lunch money just decided to buy this thing; but that's his freedom, right? what could go wrong ?
well gee guys, isn't that how capitalism is supposed to work?
it was me and my scottrade account
sorry about the fat finger
BTFD3025.18
Buy the fucking Directive 3025.18
You didn't build that!
Sorry about that....I had to spend my whole paycheck for the week.
i saw it when it happened...
same shit with the fucking Dow...
fucking farcical...
meanwhile, after driving the phony paper price of Silver below $19, it hangs at the nice and neat $18.99 after the Crimex close...
you saw it? you must be a real pro!
Is the Crimex the official Crimea stock exchange?
Gotta love that shit. Gonna go straight to the dealer tomorrow and buy 10 more kilos.
Thank you FED.
Rigged.
Fixed
FRIGGED !!
If it's fixed, that must mean it's no longer broken.
i say, not much of a move considering. must have been a big seller lurking. maybe tepper coming back for more pain
glad u got it all figured out...
u must be a pro or something...
i'd go with "something"...
Good thing no one decided to sell to them in that same time frame. O. Wait
Something bis is coming.

must beat gold's all time high of 1918. spare no expense.
-Fed Chairpig Yellen
Now, now, they were just spending the dough they got from selling all those gold contracts this morning. At the bottom. Perfectly understandable if you are a 'market maker'.
Gartman rides again.
If S&P continues to go up, great trade. If S&P goes down, Goldman will reverse it.
Goldman? They're just a partnership.
If the S&P gets hammered a thousand points tomorrow everyone there will simply abandon ship. The only thing those clowns are good for is a trillion dollar liability.
The irony is that we have tons of capital available...hundreds of billions actually. The misallocation over the past 6 years has been truly extraordinary.
"More than sufficient to blow up the State of New York."
I guess the Personal income and Spending reports to be issued at "8:30" tomorrow were released early
Must. Make. My. Bonus. Using. Your. Money. Now.
Mammoth squeeze. Look at the recent moves of FB, PCLN, NFLX, AAPL, TWTR, LNKD, etc. Someone(s) blew up...
What's scary is it can just as quickly go the other way once the greater fools buy the $1B flipped at a slightly higher price.
Current volume with an hour to go is about 50% of the 20 period MA for volume.
Final 15 minutes for more all time highs - wake those buyers up.
POMO for June tomorrow.
BTFATH
someone knows something????
no one knows anything!
But if no one knows anything, how do you know he doesn't know?
GDP going negative is no big deal after all "someone" is now the entire market and economy. Put your head between your knees, we're riding this centrally planned rocket all the way to total core meltdown.
And someone just got "had" and had to pay the price set by the price fixers....
Belgians.
it doesn't
melt in your mouth
it melts up ..
<-- Rochdale Securities (back from the grave)
<-- Knight Capital algo gone wild (redux)
The correction won't come until the World Cup starts: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1624822
this mkt is torturous at best.
Wait until that buyer realizes the the Q1 Rev. GDP print was negative. Boy will that buyer feel silly.
Its also next to last trading day in month...
I hope they run the fucking thing up like "shock & awe" type shit tomorrow hard & relentless because you know Monday would be a total abortion ... they never read my script, lol ...
My parents are all-in this shit circus, I imagine their retirement will likely involve my spare bedroom.
I hear you. Mine are too. My dad did cash in some all time high stawks and pay off their house, so at least they are free and clear on that. He did tell me he bought some silver....in the form of SLV. Could have bought a monster box of eagles or buffaloes or whatever, but "where am I going to keep that". I tried, and got him about half way there.
Soon the oligarchs will partner with the NSA and just charge shit to your credit or debit card randomly with a note that this is your part you must pay to support the GDP. Hell, google can tell them what you like by your browsing history. Sounds like a neat solution to me, if it hasn't already been tried.
1915 is a lifetime buying opportunity.. no need to average in.. just go all in
Exactly, people are poo pooing buying em here but at 2000 in a couple months they will wish they had.

Couple months? Next week.
just ran granny off here, been sitting on the couch for 4 weeks changing the channel every 30 seconds 14 hours a day. Thought I was going to have to get the AR and wing her on the way out to make sure she didn't come back.;)
could be a massive bear throwing in the towel
They know the cat's out of the bag now so they simply don't care. Big banks will not sell their stock...they and the Fed along with global central banks will keep buying stocks and bonds and they overshot their hand as evidenced by the yield on the bond market while the stock market continues to scream higher..law of diminishing returns however has to catch up...
Any more shorts left to squeeze after half a decade of ass rapes? Comical to watch all this.
Comical or sad?
blame it on the belgiums
The Federal Reserve sucks up everything to protect Wall Street.
Except the US dollar. When it's crashing they'll say they never saw it coming.
US dollar distruction by design.
Then it's off to the IMF SDRs.
Some people have been calling for a "world currency" for years. the saying "one should never let a good crisis go to waste" means that a meltdown with high levels of fear would present a perfect opportunity and catalyst to advance this agenda down the field. Remember many people with agendas have a lot to gain when a major shift in the currency markets takes place. More on this subject in the article below.

And now it's time to pound the VIX
I think someone has a lot of stock to sell. they needed to boost futures to sell into it.
I didn't know my call to the downside was worth 1 billion. Im flattered. But ive been playing market for a vary long time. So have many many many others far sharper then me. This is the classic quote " The lady doth protest too much, methinks." -Hamlet WS.
So doth this market seem to protest to much.
Well, they do it with PM's, so why not screw a client with stock manipulations, too.
that was nothing more than a stop run, surely you guys are used to them by now....
They happen all the time in most markets.
If a guy could see actual open interest I bet you would see a drop in open interest when it happens.
But of course that is not available to us little guys. We get 3 day old data from our ever vigilant CFTC.
It is a great play if a guy can get it. Set a stop same limit order where you think the stops are and hope for the best. (Most do not fill). That is the problem...
I will bet that Goldmans fill though...............
Hell, I do not think they have actually needed the rest of us in the market for years....
We have become obsolete.
It's BETTING, with printed money that we all end up paying for via inflation and job losses.
Not speculating, not investing.
No one's in there. These clowns have no choice but to steal each other's money.
Nicely said.
popcorn in hand and just watching how this end. Obviously I'm well hedged. LOL
I was hoping some stooge would buy 100k of priceline @ the close just so I can sleep for a change, lol ...
so someone still believes!!!
We have pillars of strength!!!!
Our economy is strong!!!
Our slogans are our power!!!
Just as 666 was the bottom, it would not surprise me if the S&P top ticks at 1929.
TPTB love playing games like that.
I'm looking at you Belgium...you guys are now the liquidity (garbage) receptacle for the Fed
nikkia is up and its futures are down. what the hell you guys.
An unholy alliance of the Federal Reserve, the government, and the too big to fail has left the rest of us in a precarious position. For the big boys, its insider information and computer trading, this includes computing patterns that exploit where stops are placed, this improves their ability to wash the weak out of their positions.
The bottom-line is that the higher the market goes the more vulnerable it becomes to a major collapse and sudden downward move. More on this subject in the article below.
