WTForced Buy In: Shorts Crucified By Biggest Squeeze Since 2013
Many market participants are looking dumbstruck at the miraculous surge in Dow Transports, Small Caps, and Homebuilders this week off the bond-short-puke lows of Wednesday morning. The answer - sadly for those who believe this is presaging new new highs and utopia once again - is that this was the biggest weekly short-squeeze in 11 months... and more troubling for the bulls - it ran out of steam today.
"Most Shorted" stocks (BBG Ticker GSCBMSAL Index) rose 3.3% on the week...
...with a 7.1% swing intra-week off the bond-short-puke lows...
This is the biggest squeeze in 11 months (after last week's biggest drop in 3 years)
But... a quick glance at the top chart shows the squeeze has run its course (and today's considerable weakness in Small Caps)...

It was probably one of the biggest institutions with naked sold derivatives who had to "save" positions. Squeezed on two fronts, price _and_ volatility. Had to act.
No worries everyone, EPSON finally shipped Janet and Ben the latest package of printer toners! S&P to 3,000!

See -- this is why I love you guys!
< Better the shorts get crucified than the muppets.
< "There must be some kind of way out of here, "Said the joker to the thief,"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Shorts, muppets, jokers, thieves, fools. There's a cross with our name on it in some FEMA camp somewhere.
Speaking of Shorts, muppets, jokers, thieves, fools.

This is playing out perfect for an end of the month crash. Hello '29
Sure hope so.
Could be...Jupiter is out of America's 8th House of easy money & speculative excess, won't return for 12 more years.
So we're looking at another black monday? Goody.
racist ;>)
Is it possible to be so heavy on the shorts that you could break the system? I am not a trader, but your squeeze on the shorts, it would seem to me, would only be as good as the solvency of your counter party. Too much margin = debt that cannot be covered. This could break everyone down as everyone has to sell and cover their uncovered bets that the shorts could not pay out on. I guess that is how the shorts would eventually recover, the deflation. But it just seems going too short could break things before they could balance the books again.
Monday might just be another "big red" as margin calls come in.
When the Trillions in derivatives unwind it will happen fast.
.9999 Silver wire. Cover both ends (i.e. Precious Metals/Colloidal Silver wire as part of the ebola antibacterial cure.
Simple. Win-Win.
Medical grade silver to produce colloidal silver.
Avoid heavy metal contaminants in your body.
The concentrations of nano silver of interest in the government research are 10-50 micrograms per milliliter, or 10-50 micrograms per gram.
That's 10-50 grams of finest colloidal silver per 100 kg human body (220#).
Colloidal silver seems to be sold in concentrations which are about like the concentrations in the experiment itself.
It looks like consuming your body weight of colloidal silver liquid might get you into the ballpark.
You would look so Smurf, so long before you ever accumulated that amount.
That's probably why the effect was not studied further.
You sound like a drug dealer trying to keep the money straight.
When gold, silver and most shorted shit the same bed, it's time to look at some physical generational assets. Like aspirine.
Get Shorty.
Fuck yea. Roll with it.
Remember, government never lies and nothing is rigged.
Cruise ship with quarantined Ebola couple returning to Texas after Mexico does not give 'clearance'

Have you ever heard of the story of "The Ship of Fools?"
From Wiki:
The allegory depicts a vessel populated by human inhabitants who are deranged, frivolous, or oblivious passengers aboard a ship without a pilot, and seemingly ignorant of their own direction.
Good song too. World Party.

Sounds great, where do I sign up?

So the hospital worker who had contact with the first ever Ebola patient in the US, decides to take a cruise shortly after?
All shits and no giggles?
Well if the boss made you work with faulty equipment, then why not spread the love around?
approx. 2500 other cruise guests and staff would disagree
they're still on a ship, in one cabin, surrounded by 2500 would-be Ebola zombies
will Texas allow the ship to come back? will they be allowed to disembark right away or will they quarantine the ship?
not to mention the costs of cleaning and disinfecting the entire ship and who would want to do that job?
America is NOT prepared for Ebola. People here have way too many freedoms and way too much money. The niggas in the shitholes of West Africa have nothing to gain, nothing to lose. They don't have cars or fancy homes or any vacation plans.
Wait for a young caucasian school child to get an Ebola scare.
This week was fun, but next week is a different game.
Sell ANY rally. 200 day is, in my opinion, heady resistance - FOR EVERYTHING.
HAGW ZH!!
Crucifixion? Line on the left, one cross each.
Suckers. This market is so easy to trade. Just BTFD.
lol putz
consumer disc (XRT) was weak today too.
???
If only they took as good care of the passengers as for the aircraft .
See after a mercury spill : http://avstop.com/maint/corrosion/ch7.html
QE bear trap
You can't say black monday. It's racist.
They keep doing it over and over and over again. Corraling everybody and just when everybody goes short they hammer the positions so the market rallies.
I'm curious what they will do when they don't have anyone left to burn...
Watching the Fed repeatedly run over people, who for some unknown reason still believe the market is operating on fair terms, is kind of like watching a pro baseball team take on your local little league.
The sad fact is the Fed actually considers it winning, and they are proud of it too.
Shorts
When you pull down your shorts ...bend over a barrel....and say rape me again bitch. Never learn...deserve what they get.
If I had 4 or 5 trillions dollars and you were in the stock market, I could take your money too.
Were they crucifued or did they just cover... for now...
