Biggest Short Squeeze In 38 Months Sparks Stocks Triple-Decouple
"Most Shorted" stocks are up 4.75% from yesterday's lows - the biggest squeeze since October 2011.
Sending Small Caps up 4.5%...
This squeeze has entirely decoupled US equities from VIX...
from credit...
and from crude oil...
But when did any of that matter...

It says post new comment, but is there anything left to be said?
Nothing new left to be said. SSDD,
BTFD.
At this point it's like saying the sun rises in the east....
That's affirmative when nukes start detonating.
Suicide by shorting
anybody know if there is a bloomberg ticker for the most shorted stocks?
thanks if you do?
TNA can stand in as a nice proxy, the way Beelzebub is a fair substitute for the Devil
(By the way, those who don't normally follow the Russell 2000 should pull up a daily candle chart of IWM now, as who knows if this will hold thru the close. Note, with great mirth, and awe, how we've traversed nearly the ENTIRE RANGE going back to Oct 30 in just 1 1/2 days. Astounding.)
lucky- No, there isn't one that I'm aware of. I went looking for one a few weeks back but came up dry. If there was a "most shorted" ETF I'd be buying the crap out of it.
Never short Yellen's pet, the nasty cunt has your back.
after hearing that larry summers made over $20 million on the lending tree IPO, there really is nothing left to say.
the bankers won. again. 200 years ago, they would hang. now, they rule.
Wrong. 200 years ago, they would be doing the same thing. The difference today is in the enormity of the counter-intel against a largely literate but disinterested, disengaged, and diseducated populace.
mmmmm. disedumucation.
That which is unsustainable will not be sustained.
But it sure can go on for a long while before it no longer does.
Yep, I read a book on the history of surgery and a lot of the time they were seeing how much they could do before they killed the patient. Life's a bitch if your an experimental animal.
We are all experimental animals during this monetary surgery.
I predict: This bond bubble will burst. Eventually.
Each major turn date has been identified by Woody. Now there is another EXPLOSION date--this is one crazy market...The last 2 major dates were September 18th (the top) and October 13th (the low) weeks before..How he does it I have no idea--but he thinks this next major turn will suprise many!!

No shorting allowed! Ever.
By order of the Kommadant.
Did youse sell earlier, boys and girls? I think the Dow is about to take a shit.
... and on such thin Christmas volumes... I am shocked... shocked I say!
It's easy to make money in the stock market when you control the price.
Yeah baby...here is a lesson for you ZeroProfit pussies. While you cry into your worthless Dec 20 S&P puts that you bought last week, remember that there are people in this world who will fight to make it a better place. Not go on forums like this preach doom and gloom.
better place? a better place would not allow greed and ignorance to run amock. the earth would be a better place without any of this nonsense.
@Just_Take_It_All A tad bit presumptious aren't we? Not everyone is greedy and as for ignorance, how would you define or measure that? Anyone who doesn't share your view is ignorant?
well try this on for size then:
Yeah baby...here is a lesson for you StatusQuo pussies. While you cry into your worthless Dec 20 S&P calls that you bought last week, remember that there are people in this world who will fight to make it a better place. Not go on forums like this and troll.
don't think that what goes around will surely come around.

From Hindenberg Omen to OH THE HUMANITY
good call vt66
well, I say good. I think the dethroning of the dollar is a ruse. us is the new Rome. ww1 and ww2 "enemies" lost and are still not going to get on equal footing. Think the upper dust dont like the rich power centers? I think geo bush 1 meant --1,000 cities that light up the sky at night-- as a clue to the thoughts/plans of the elites. =1000 points of light= ?

See? Turns out collapsing oil prices and the looming destruction of the shale oil industry (with the corresponding default on all that lending) IS good for the economy after all.
stupid shorts. the day shorting stocks is profitable is the day they outlaw it. you can't win, even in a bear market.
We'll never know, because bear markets are a thing of the past, like steam engines, or bank tellers, or national integrity.
The crash'll be in roughly two years, guys. Think about it: 1992, 2000, 2008, ...? Kind of around every other presidential election. Imagine that...
All in cuz I love monee.
Retard rally...
Good for me. Buying more SPY/XLF puts...!!
Good luck. Seriously.
The neo Bolshevik run Fed is just doing what Russia USE to do pre Putin. Just drive prices anywhere they wanted then to go "for the good of the masses".
Obama and the Fed are very Kruschev like, whereas Putin is closer to Reagan.
WOW! Just WOW! I cannot imagine the pain of anyone still short this market. Didn't George S. take a multi-billion dollar short against the S&P? If so, he fought the Fed and was pounded out of existence. Likely covered today and near penniless now. I believe also bought big oil position at the top too. The Fed bankers must be in awe of themselves. High-fives and laughing. They wanted this market higher and got it. They want Dow 20k and will get it, even if they have to create another Trillion or so. The numbers have lost all meaning. Eighteen Trillion in debt is laughed at, and people are told it doesn't even really exist and never needs to be paid back; we owe it to ourselves. There has never been anything like this. Millions are euphoric as their 401k's explode higher and higher. Millions of new jobs, and if they pay little, there is welfare and EBT cards. Loose credit has meant a wild SUV buying frenzy. You can buy most anything now with little or nothing down. Stock buybacks can go on for years with near-zero rates and the Fed will never raise rates, just jawbone and laugh. It all seems so 'Matrix' like.
On S&P Draw a diagonal graph to infinity and that is what the FED will try to do.
Replace all WS firms with that one graph
They weren't kidding when they said 'the stock-market is all that matters'.
