Thought it only broke on the way down?
Give me a break, huh?
It's like a doctor breaking your nose to reset your broken nose.
Too much of a good thing, this time ?
Another market break: BVULLISH!
you're entering a world of pain! Mark it 0

SEC Required Emergency Exit Row Qualifications

reach the emergency exit and exit slide operating mechanisms;

remove obstructions similar to size and weight of over-wing exit doors, all while maintaining balance;
exit expeditiously, stabilize the escape slide after deployment, and ignore those also getting off the slide.
You lack the ability to read and understand instructions related to emergency evacuation provided by TBTF Airlines in printed or graphic form or the ability to understand oral Regulator "commands".
You lack sufficient visual capacity to perform one or more of the applicable functions without the assistance of visual aids beyond contact lenses or eyeglasses.
You lack sufficient aural capacity to hear and understand instructions shouted by financial regulators, without assistance beyond a hearing aid.
You lack the ability to adequately impart misleading information orally to other market participants.
You have a nondiscernible condition that might prevent you from performing these functions or a condition that might cause you to suffer bodily harm while performing these functions.
You do not wish to perform these instructions.
You have less less than USD 15 billion dollars of AUM or lack the capacity to perform one or more of the applicable functions without the assistance of an banking supervisor or another banking institution.
You have a responsibility, such as to a customer, unless a second bankster is seated elsewhere with the peon.
Penny staaaawks
"market"....... Lol.
SPX needs to reach 200dma... just a few more points....
Was this the RPT. Rise Protection Team ??
PPT bought gold miners across the board to sustain the rumors of QE4 earlier this week. Now that they found a bunch of idiots covering their shorts, PPT is dumping gold miners to bring back the deflation scare. Best to stay out of this market. I was tempted to get back in. NO, THANKS!
All of it is manipulated. OTC pump and dumps are at least blatantly obvious. That's for the really dumb money. The more sophisticated dumb money is being raped in the big indexes.
Wow it's really THIS desperate for the manipulators? Gee, even worse than I had thought!
pathetic excuse for a market. the move in bond prices is insignificant
you think that could fool a corleone? [/michael corleone]
There is absolutely no difference between Financial System and Sonny Playstation Network
Both centrally controlled
And that is why world is walking away from the system
I thought Sonny's "Playstation" was his giant schlong. Or have I got The Godfather all wrong?
I thought it was called "quote stuffing."
They called a halt to "stop it you're making me laugh!"
I've gotten a few good deals on the OTC over the years but I researched the hell out of them first, that's apparently against the rules nowadays.
All this smell, there has to be a dead body around here somewhere.
Keep Calm and Stack On...
(psssst....silver phyzz is still on sale, bitchez...) ;-)
Unless I'm missing something, Ag is an OTC market too, subject to the same issues and frauds. Caveat stackor.
he said phyzz
That's why I said Ag. People need to know their shit when they buy a roll of shiny, or 50 shares of rolled Charmin via AmeriTrade.
Retail is deadlocked because every deskchair pitboss is out at Costco buying his Bug Out Bag and shitloads of water.
Selling is not allowed.
There's nothing quite like boosting the public's confidence in the exchanges!.
Um,Over the counter? Like over the counter derivatives? (I know,they said"equities").
Um,didn't someone here say Deutsche bank has big derivative exposure?
Aren't Greek bonds tanking and didn't DB have large GGB exposure?
Aren't the US and Saudis trying to bury Putin by lowering the oil price?
Didn't Putin threaten to squeeze Europe if this oil price war gathers steam?
Aren't we pushing Putin into the arms of those pesky Iranians?
Are we looking at another Greek default and ECB bailout?
Am I the only one here who is happy the Ukrainians have no nukes?
Enquiring minds wanna know.....
Short squeeze.
When they tried to get the JP Morgan OTC crowd to accept regulation (or the Hedge funds,such as LTCM),they told the SEC regulators to get stuffed.
WE WANT TO REGULATE OURSELVES.hee hee... AND IF THERE WAS A CENTRAL REGISTRY,THEN ANYONE COULD TELL WHICH BANKS HAVE TOXIC TIMEBOMBS TICKING AWAY (INSOLVENCY).
Ergo,to be transparent would erode confidence in the financial markets.Therefore we will be opaque and wait till things explode,AND THEN INSIST ON A BAILOUT,BWAAA!
Also,the neat thing about derivatives is there is no down payment or large investment.
EVEN IN VEGAS YOU HAVE TO ANTE UP TO STAY IN THE GAME.
The markets breaking says to me that they want some margin money from these guys,which ain't happening...
People should ask what difference there is between these derivatives and the Lloyd's insurance "Names"?
They thought they were getting money for nothing.When the SHTF they couldn't get out of the contract.
The entire syndicate system was very secretive....
battling hft's, one long, one short.
