Every Stock Index Hits All Time High On Lowest Volume Since 2006
Trading volumes today are running at the lowest pace since 2006, crude oil prices ae testing back towards fresh 5 year lows, and Treasury yields are all lower... so it should come as absolutely no surprise that the S&P 500, Dow Industrials, and Russell 2000 have all hit fresh intraday record highs today.
SPY volume at it lowest since 2006...
and e-mini...
As or 1pm, eMini volume is lower than it's ever been since at least 2006 (excluding partial trading days) $ES_F $SPY

As Treasuries rally...
Crude continues to slide...

The emporer is naked.
So the five people who run the markets sure are making money today.
No worries. The "K-Hen" has got your back.
This is exactly what street vendors do when they play three cup. Dare you to follow the ball!
HFT's trading one share at a time so volume is obsolete don'cha know.....
I'm NOT giving up shorting these rallies, at some point it WILL blow.
DavidC
that's what i said to myself at 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, and 2000.
Yup me too. The only way for them to make money is from peeps short covering. Since nonody actually buys this crap
And when it blows, it will get back to ALL of those. The CBs are DESPERATE.
DavidC
No if you only knew when it will blow.
Who said when? I didn't.

One fine morning when there are no bears left the mega-banks and Wall St will short the entire market and then let it collapse.
Wall Street doesn't want it to collapse. Most weren't smart enough in 2008 to embrace the tsunami and it is no different now.
There is no rule that says that it must blow. We could get Zimbabwed, in which case, neither shorting nor going long would help you. Having your own local sources for basic necessities, however, would.
Shorting is pretty dangerous in the face of this rampant money-printing / central bank interventionism.
It def WILL blow. Just when..??
Think buying relatively cheap insurance (vol still low) via puts on SPY or XLF (like better, due to longer-dated strike options)
Also, why not get long some physical PM. When it does blow, there is almost no way that PM's don't catch a fierce bid.
Fuck all that shit. It's real simple....... when the market is near a correction or any selloff, just go long UVXY. When the market is ready to get pumped up again, you simply short UVXY. During the "oil correction" uvxy went from 17 to 32 and when they pumped the markets back up in the next week, it went from 32 to 20. Now...... i believe it's a buy again at these levels, or very near. Low volume rampjob, oil is at its 5 year low, no one is playing today. Reality will set back in either next week or the week after and UVXY will explode to 30-50-100, depending on how big the correction or selloff.
It is easiest to manipulate markets higher (or lower) when there are fewest participants. That is why gold and silver are attacked in the middle of the night.
Fake, manipulated markets make big, irrational moves.
Yep. And yes...Wall Street can force you to take delivery too. "Where do you want your million tons of coal sir?"
I still stand by my conviction that the problem remains in the debt market (Russel at an all time high?) and that's the clog in the pipe of recovery.
Certainly no lack of either production or product.
And yes I do believe that Space Aliens from Planet Zorgon are in fact running this thing...
Zorgon was taken over by Niburu.
Which seem to be the darling stocks?
Oh what nice teeth you have....
XAG catching a bid...
i'm amazed anyone can still get away with charging 2 & 20. now that the market is a policy tool, why shouldn't every individual investor just blindly buy SPY and go on vacation for 6 months?
Everything is fuckn' great . Didn't you hear?
Krugmanity trap.
happy days r here again...
now, im off to my private island right down the street from larry ellisons...
Looks like oil has found itself a home around $55. Almost as if someone wants it there.
Market is a political tool to promote the idea of prosperity where there is none.
Banks gota bank.
Politicians gota politician.
People gota... die... swiftly and conveniently leave all their assets on the sidewalk for collection.
'Never sell a quiet market after a rise' - has not been overruled.
We don't need to trade stocks to know their value...Janet will just tell us what they are worth...won't she?
OT - but there's oil at 54.83:

"Volume? We don't need no stinkin' volume!"
Dollars? Who Needs 'Em! -- Gazprom mulls issuing bonds in offshore yuan
isnt it just amazing what these bastards get away with?
of course next week will also be an incredibly light volume week leading up to new years day, so expect another 50 pts pn the s&p and 400 on the dow, and the nasdaq will prob hit 5000 next week to cap of the 2014 year.
again though, as many have stated here, its a policy tool and nothing else so its irrelevant
In a war, the first casualty is always the truth.
The market is just an economic weapon for the Empire. How long can it be levitated on lies? That is the question.
Everybody (the intelligent ones, anyway) knows it's all lies.
How long can it continue? As long there is "faith in the system," i.e. the dollar. How long can there be faith in the system? As long as the USA has the world's strongest military, that's how long. It all really comes down to military stregth. The USA is saying to the world: "yeah, so what, whatcha gonna do about it, punk?!"
But the second the USA is no longer the world's strongest military, the dollar collapes to nothingness and it's reset time. Their plan is to start WW3 before that happens. Empires don't go quietly, they immolate in a flash of militarism.
US has the strongest military?
It can't even pacify Iraq or Afghanistan; shiny toys don't make a tough militray.
I upvoted you for the observation that traditional uniformed military have always had a difficult job winning against domestic guerilla forces. That's tru for a variety of reasons and has been true since before the Romans invaded Gaul.
That does not, howver, change the fact that the US has te strongest military among traditional nation-states. And that is the key, since it is the traditional nation states that are the players on the world economic stage and control the worlds competing currencies.

Is China the world's new bank? by @WilliamPesek http://bv.ms/1CXTQTe
Thanks to China, Christine Lagarde of the International Monetary Fund, Jim Yong Kim of the World Bank and Takehiko Nakao of the Asian Development Bank may no longer have much meaningful work to do.
Beijing's move to bail out Russia, on top of its recent aid for Venezuela and Argentina, signals the death of the post-war Bretton Woods world. It’s also marks the beginning of the end for America's linchpin role in the global economy and Japan's influence in Asia.
Crude future below the 12/15 and 12/18 lows at 54.50 won't be OT for long when the new thread arrives:

AND it's that idiot Obomba- he was braggng a few days ago about how everyone's pension plans have been restored in value.
All the trading is done by 2 computers, one owned by JPMorgue and the other answers to the US State Department.
. . . wait, that means BOTH answer to the US State Department.
Free markets? What's that?
The progressive controlled federal reserve will never allow a market crash under their Marxist leader...
Eric Hunsander will eventually be sent to gitmo for daring to question what's going on.
This week's S&P 500 action pretty much on track as anticipated...

Elliot wave works great when it predicts a stock market rise. It fails, however, when it predicts a decline. That's pretty much how it and every other theory works nowadays.
Plum Island for SALE.

Wasn't Plum Island the maximum-level bio-security lab? The kind you cannot put on the mainland? Why is DHS building the new one in Kansas? Woooeeeee, I would not want to be downwind.
West Nile Virus, brought to you by Plum Island.
Lab 257 is a great book on Plum Island and gives insight into how fucked up the government is. Yes, this was an animal disease lab. They has maintenance men cooking steaks from test subjects at the incinerator where they were burning cows.
Volume hasn't mattered in yrs. as this is now a centrally controlled market. Call it whatever you like but it's not capitalism.
Looks like a Ponzi, Trades like a Ponzi, too good to be true like a Ponzi.
