Is This Why Stocks Surged At The Open?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As stocks opened significantly lower in the US day session, the NYSE 'broke'. Instantly, stocks levitated back to almost green on the day... and NYSE 'unbroke' - after which stocks tumbled again (only to be rescued by Draghi)....

 

From the NYSE:

We experienced an issue disseminating quotes and trades to the SIP in a limited number of symbols at 9:30. As of approximately 9:50, we were able to correct the issue and are publishing normally.

And that means only one thing!!

Starting to think that ekm1 is locked in a state mental ward with access to the internet.

Paying attention to what is reported as happening can truly make one feel he's living inside an insane asylum. Fortunately for me, my tinfoil cap can both send and receive WiFi signals and I can read ZH on my Google Glasses. I'm not sure how my thoughts end up as comments, however. Explanations will be welcomed.

Starting to think that might be a prerequisite for figuring this shit out anyway.

So, they will in fact never lose... This market will never correct until it crashes. That's so incredible ! Reality is stranger than fiction.

Reality isn't allowed anywhere near this steaming heap. The market breaks are it trying to sneak in the back door.

Who knew the WHOPR was such an oracle?  "The only way to win is not to play"

Even money that we are all living "life" while hooked into a powerplant.

Should the S&P gap down that much there will be many folks whose shorts are covered - in warm brown stuff.

more selling volume than previous week, some big orders hitting the sell side... if selling volume increases more gravity will halt levitation.

... so the opposite also true, if selling volume dries... more levitation.

No need to panic.  One of you fucking media heads... this time Draghi just say the magic fucking word : STIMULUS.

And everything is instantly magically superliciously wonderfully fantastic again!
