Participation who's participating lol
the central banks of course....playing hot potato with global equity market futures, currencies et etc.....sNp 2000 is safe today just iwatch
"waning participation"...
By who? The Fed?
Most of the robot activity is intra-day, but someone must be holding futures, stocks, bonds, options, etc., over night. So are the McClellan Oscillator & Summation Index still relevant in this "market"?

iWatch rally is over
Is it possible that we will get a sell-off into the close? Who or what is behind this entertainment?
The only oscillator I have heard about is a groom's prick on a honeymoon.
That's what she said...
"waning participation"...
Waning Programing .... there fixed it
central banks obviously read ZH, so look for that gap to be filled in 3....2.....1
"central banks oviously read ZH, ....................."
Good Then,
FUCK YOU YELLEN!
Let them eat Banksters!
One Acronym BTFD
Yeah, as in Be The Fucking Dope!
lol - bottom ticked it again TD...like clockwork the only thing waning is ZH regulars that used to make this site interesting...
As Billy Dee Williams used to say, "Works every time."
"... the only thing waning is ZH regulars that used to make this site interesting..."
That is the result of the profanity ban instituted by ZH.
It is too bad because their articles freely use the word "F.ck", and it's derivatives, quite freely.
I don't know what profanity ban you're talking about.
fuck off...and what happened to robotarder?
ZH the only site where people are sentamental about trolls! I love it! Is there some kind of troll hall of fame with quotes and replies? That would be AWESOME!
"It costs $5 to dig it out of the ground..."
[Nostalgic yet?]
I just quoted Methman earlier today! Man that was some funny shit.

I think you'll find some of the old-timers still around. Just not ready to scrap like in the old days.
The old axiom comes to mind, "You can't fix stupid."
...and some of the old trolls were really stupid. Glad they're gone so now we can have a new set of trolls.
I believe it was MasterBates who said that if gold ever reached $900/oz he'd leave of his own volition. He's been gone a while now. Talk about stupid.
"Glad they're gone so now we can have a new set of trolls."
sent-a-mental about trolls = Like + Hate
Ax-idental double entendre for trolls.
I tip my hat to thee!
robotrader...where did he go, anyway.
There's a fucking profanity ban? What a bunch of fucking bullshit! Fucking asshole cocksucker censors! MOTHERFUCK!
That's what she said...
That reminds me of LongSoupLine.
There was some bomb dropping when that boy/girl posted.
Sounded like my old hockey locker room!

You can say fuck as much as you want.
What you cannot do is impure the reputations of jews, blacks, women, slopes, spics, or any other protected groups.
And you certainly cannot opine about the concentration of certain groups in certain areas of influence dealing with fractional reserve banking.
As to why many leave, well, ZH is just a stop along the timeline of life. There not need be a reason to leave. Sometimes you just don't want to focus on this stuff day after day.
That shit wears you down, trust me, I know. Other's make too much noise and get banned. Francis among them. Fonz left after a blowoff night. He might be around but he really started a brawl and it is tough to come back from that without some humility.
pods
I think Fonz had already decided he'd had enough (it's fucking groundhog day here - market goes up, top called, mild correction, market goes up....) and premeditated his 'blaze of glory' exit. As you say, it wears on you.
There is nothing worse than being right and still having it not matter. Fonz was close in with finance, and to know all the shit we do and still see everyday how things just move along for no rhyme or reason must be ass chafing.
And when you have Baboon Ass, you will do everything you can to avoid the chafe.
pods
"There is nothing worse than being right and still having it not matter." -- Ain't that the truth.
More and more it looks like "The great question of the day will not be settled by speeches or majority vote... ...but by iron and blood." - Otto von Bismarck.
Francis, only *&**# and sailors are named Francis.
Some of us told him to "Lighten-up Francis..."
[didn't work]
"It is too bad because their articles freely use the word "F.ck", and it's derivatives, quite freely."
Fed Funds were aimed solely at the Bankster's use of derivatives....
Therefore the FED screwed up ZH
As soon as the pissed off and broke baby boomers found ZH through DrudgeReport it went down hill.
What about us pissed-off rich baby boomers?
Oh, I dunno, new 2-day lows within an hour of the post?
"The Death Of A Rally?"
That's not the way I'm reading the chart. They are just having a controlled pullback for profit taking on the daily chart. Unless the SPY breaks the daily consolodation with volume then they are just getting ready for the next breakout.
BUYBACK is another area of buying--face it, the companies have become cash cows since there is no need to further expand.
Dividends do not help executive stock and option programs so they want to buyback shares and get higher eps.
All major players are HOARDING securities waiting for the Fed to stop the music
Sacrificial lambs:
Barclays?
Deutschebank?
BNP Paribas?
We'll soon hear something "nobody saw coming" which of course it was all pre-planned same as Bear Stearns, Lehman or MF Global pre-planned implosions
Ultimately,
Sacrificial lamb = Joe Average.
Joe Average already slaughtered and baked. Blood already sucked out.
This is shark against shark.
Fish have been eliminated already
You're underestimating the size of the tank. Plenty of little fish to eat before the sharks start eating each other.
Controlled pullback today, tomorrow, and Thursday.
Then when no attacks on US soil happen on Sept. 11th, Friday will be BTD and stocks will rally.
That'll work, unless...
index puts wil be bought ahead of 911 but probably should be bought for the high market valuation like soros is doing.
however,
watch tyler post stockmans latest about dot.com2 and the high valuations in twtr, fb, and others. many times revenues. I do not know how much longer this game can go on.
everything has a shelf life including radioactivity.
Red on 9-11 only supports terrorists. Down into tomorrow and maybe into Thursday is accepted,
Which Terrorists? In Washington or on Wall?
slowly I turned, inch by inch......
That's what she said...
I don't understand this chart.
Fewer stocks are accounting for the average broad-market gains
market losing grip on advances which are turning to decliens. That goives you breadth of market which is not as good as it was at the last run up
Yeah we are still here. Lurking in the shadows. This is nearly the exact same sentiment I recall in 2006/2007. Back then it was the cbs MW board and everyone migrated over to ZH.
It was bulletproof rally, central bank liquidity, blah, blah, blah. Same as now, and it will be a similar if not worse result.
Time for the Fed to flush the money out of the stock market and let it hit main street.
so help me if "the market" ever again goes down a full half a percent i am throwing down bitchez
I have resorted to buying some realtively inexpensive spxl calls
SPX = 1988 is point to watch. Buyers are defending right now, but if it breaks, then its al whole new game between 1980 and 1988. lol.
Once the billionaires are hoarding that's part of the sign.
I don't know what's going to happen between now and Friday so I am going to buy 1000 $80 calls on the TNA and sell 1000 October $17 calls on the TZA.
That should do it.
Membership only! Requirements. One good color printer.
Oh they are dumping now baby.
It only seems like 'dumping' because the 'market' almost never goes down anymore. .6% doesn't really constitute dumping.
The bots caught a virus.
That's what he said...
There's a 10 year treasury auction tomorrow. Yields have moved higher over the last 3-4 days. I'll bet there will be pretty good demand. blub-blub-blub usd/jpy tomorrow.
happens all the time. whenver yields spike oddly in relation to equity mkts I look at the calendar and almost always there is a 2, 5 or 7 yr auction. they run it up into the auction, making the Treasury pay, then ride it down. this time is a bit bigger with long yields staying high even with mkts moving south past 2-3 days. next week shoul make for good rally on tlt
What is sad is I would not be shocked at all if the Fed actually put together a special team for Sept 11 each year and they were extra diligent to buy any dip just to give a good feel out there.
Audit and highly regulate the fed.
The term "the new normal" has not been used much as of late, but going forward it may be about to return. Many investors and the public at large may be about to realize that central banks can only do so much through printing money and lowering interest rates. Both these actions carry with them some very strong and nasty side effects.
Markets have become very distorted as money has flowed into risky assets in search of higher yields. It could be we are about to see the markets morph into a "realizing market", one that grinds slowly downward. Another possibility is that at some point the wisdom of buying every pullback changes and the market simply drops like a stone. More on what the future might hold in the article below.
