Today's 3:59 PM WTF Moment Of The Day

Tyler Durden's picture




 

When you absolutely, completely, undoubtedly need the Dow and S&P 500 to close green at new record closing highs...

 

Unleash the last second VIX smasher algo...

 

The first push down with VIX (and thus up with stocks) stalled out 'alarmingly' at 1554ET.. and the S&P 500 dropped back perilously into the red... but thanks to someone's decision to sell volatility from over 13.00 to 12.75 instantaneously was just enough momo and just enough time to drag the Dow and S&P across the finishing line green...

 

QE is dead, long live the algos...

Do you need a little KY Jelly to go with that VIX?

Well...the CME now has an order flow incentive program for Central Banks...

Fake wealth effect is only there for the already wealthy. When they stop buying houses, yachts, cars and handbags, it's over.

It's like BRAWNDO... It's what stawks crave...

 

Now the happy sheeple can return to their homes & nestle in for a comfy night of THANKING THE TROOPS for their SERVICE...

 

I actually am of the mindset that the TROOPS should be thanking me... Their jobs & bennies are only possible because of the 'nut' that GOVERNMENT. INC shaves off my work each & every day while they're being trained to become future Praetorian cops & shake me down even further if I happen to be driving to the liquor store with a hundred bucks cash on me.

1984 purpose, break you until you love the system...

 

honnestly, look around you everyone... we all prisonner of the system, we cannot escape up to our own deaths,

finally, the real liberty, you not find it only by money path, it's just a behavior. be poor, poverty, also letyou make some choices you cannot make when you have money  just because it involves too much parameters.

 

very philosophical question. path to liberty...

Too bad you don't know the difference between Decoration Day and Armistice Day

Or, as they are now known, Memorial Day and Veterans Day

If you can read this, thank a teacher.

If you can read it in English, thank a veteran.

If, after having read it, you think they are all pawns of the jews, thank a nazi.

They are pawns of the politicians and bankers. Tell me honestly how many wars has America been involved in since the War of 1812 where our national security was really at stake or we were attacked unprovoked?

'thank a veteran'

its precisely the unquestioning worship of military service that fails to prevent the many unneccesary wars by which we are further endangered and global animosity is entrenched.

Im not saying theres no need for the millitary, im not saying there's no such thing as a necessary war, but in my view of history the ratio of just to unjust wars seems about 5 to 1

it is vitally important to put shit on our military culture until it reforms to committing itself only to necessary conflict. Earn your fucking respect, you cant command it from me. fuck you and your imposed authority.

Denominated in Yen it's going nuts but it's up about 1% in US dollars. Look at the USD denominated Japan ETF's and they're flat since the BOJ announcement.
