This Is What Happens When The 'Unrigged' Market Breaks
It appears Rule 575 is having an impact today. Quietly this morning, CBOE traders were told at 1027ET that the S&P 500 index was "currently unavailable for trading." As the following chart shows, this halted a drop in the market and instantly enabled a levitation to near the day's highs. Unrigged?

And then this happens...
It appears Rule 575 is really messing things up for the high-beta chasers...

Must. Keep. Rising.
This is all Bush’s fault… and Putin’s… and golf ball makers – them damned balls should be more… square? ;-)

Didn't last long.
But expect them to do this again and again as the Baron gets his money out over the next few weeks.
Rigged??? Nothing's rigged. Consumer confidence is higher and going higher. Well except for consumers that are voters apparently. Politico has an article on voters being gloomy about the economy.

If it ain't gonna let you BTFD on its own, then turn the machine off, restart, rinse and repeat.
MUST
HAVE
DIP
In reality there is no bid and no ask. The stock market broke in 2009
Dip or no dip, looks like you can no longer STF (Sell The Fucker). The exits are open until you head for them. The stock market is soon to be part-time (like everyone else)?
"Yes, you can sell now if you want to."
"Whoops! Mirage. Try again tomorrow?"
You have to take those breaks in the market so the Central Banks can come to the rescue
Hey. The chart shows some pretty big green candles. Problem? What problem? I get paid tomorrow and after I go to Walmart with my SNAP card and buy some McDonalds for dinner, pay my rent, TV, cellphone, maybe my water bill (like they do in Detroit), a carton of smokes and some gas for my '92 Lebaron, I'm gonna buy me some SPX.
Sincererly,

You forgot the 6-pack of tall boys.
40's, you gotta have 40's....
you can afford Mckiedee's? you must be one of those country clubbers....
After that lunch yer gonna have to buy the SPX on margin
"Gotta keep on Risin', Risin-Risin', Mr Mojo Risin'..."
Even the robot trades are on a pauze because of total lack of volume.
The only way to get trades trough is to increase the multipliers
The "market" is just a light show.
Was only available for Yellen.
It looks like they should stop trading more often.
I can't wait to see an explanation in next year's Economics textbooks (and magazine articles): "By closing the markets, we create scarcity - which pushes prices UP!!! ... "
Internet outage in Belgium?
Madness! Can't open the week with a panic!
LOL!!!
BTFD or death!
One would think that they would have it figured out by now...... selling will not be allowed.
+1.
Everything seems normal to me. (Well the new normal that is)
"I'm a trader! I never lose!!!!!!"
I mean these posers are really setting themselves up for a good old fashioned showdown with "ISIS." Inflation trading only works...until everyone starts living on an actual US dollar a day (as Wall Street and Washington DC is forcing everyone too.)
The amount of leveraged long commodities is basically the entire planet of Nations. "The kick off to global default was MF'in Global" in my view. We're staring a massive deflation in the Western World right in the face in my view. That's why I find Putin taking the bait in Ukraine so unsurprising. "Enter the heavy metal."
NASDAQ must not have gotten that message this morning.
"Shit's broke..."
Get your t-shirts here. We got hats too, bitchez.
"Shit's broke..."
Dat shit's been broke for quite awhile now...the Fed put in too many cheat codes.
Will they ever get tired of the charade ???
when the sheeple quit buying the drivel, and that aint anytime soon...
For the last 20 years, we in Australia have had a constant barrage of propanda asserting that our superannuation contributions are not enough and that we should be "investing" more. I don't think the sheeple are "investing" "fast enough" when left to their own devices.
Yeah, the day after they get tired of free money. You can begin holding your breath now.
Remember, the whole thing is just a rock hurtling thru space, nothing actually matters. Clubs and all that, the universe is completely indifferent to any of it.
Then the universe won't mind when we start lighting things on fire?
Not at all.
Those candlelight suppers at Yellens are getting boring.
lighting farts on fire sound fun...
for some strange reason Gold is still positive and even silver just barely negative...thats a first
This tactic seems to work on a small scale, but will it work when the entire Dow, NAS, etc. is halted?
One thing's for certain, it ain't broke, it's fixed.
did the fed just put in a bottom? sending a message that shorts will be punished as antifedites? they have to inflate their way out of this. they just said they are ready to deploy the cash drop. they may have finally realized money floats to the top. it doesn't trickle down anything but the tops of your heads.
I think the message here is that for anyone who still wishes to trade, you should only buy with money you make from selling something else. And your broker's commissions should also come from those sales too.
Sell some puts. In order to screw you, they have to make the prices go down.
But given that they don't play fair, I don't think even that will work.
It'll keep going up till the muppets are fully invested in it going up.

Fuck I forgot, why is the stock market matters?
CON-fidence in the markets...
@ nope. I'll give you $450 for your 92 Lebaron sight unseen
I went to public education system so I need some help with math...46 million on food stamps...average 200 dolalrs a month.
How much is that in a year? Then minus that number by stats that show federal taxes income is 1.1 trillion...
My thanks to those who were home schooled and can actually answer this question without common core where 2 plus 2 equals whatever you want it to be.
I was laughing until i realized ZH is posting about a 2-point pop on the ES...
I am a mean old pacifist; I think the world's diseased.The sooner you all kill yourselves, the sooner I'll be pleased.
I don't like racial prejudice in any form at all;
Yankee, Russian, white or tan, I hate you one and all! Chorus
I've worked my fingers to the bone, signing pleas for peace;
Carried signs to ban the bomb, and run from the police.
And then one day I looked around, and suddenly realized
There's not a one of you SOB's who ought to be alive!
(Chorus)
I do not like the Russians with all their cutthroat band;
And for these great United States, I do not give a damn.
Soon will come a mighty flash that brightens up the night.:
I'll slap my knee and shout with glee, it serves you bastards right!
Is the S&P a big deal?
