'Mysterious' Last-Second Buying-Panic Saves S&P From Red Close For 2015

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Overnight dip-buyers (algos) ran us all the way back to unch before retail stepped in and bought it all back from them and this...

 

UPDATE: VIX was totally unrigged 3 times to ensure the S&P 500 cash indedx remained green for the year!!!!

 

 

Flash-Crash... Rescue bid... Retail fish...

 

The machines were very busy as VWAP was all that mattered... Off The Lows...

 

From last Friday's close... it's been quite wild ride in futures...

 

Which doesn't look quite as crazy in cash indices... Small Caps remain relative outperformers... Dow was saved from worse picture by Goldman's dominance which added 25 points to The Dow on its own

 

Year-to-Date, S&P was rescued at the very last second to close +0.04% YTD!!!! UNRIGGED

 

The momo stuff is losing steam... but "off the lows" is the new "killing it"

Biotech dead-cat-bounce dead-cat-bounce is dead again...

 

Go Pro No Mo...

 

Go Daddy IPO Opens at $26.15... and closes...

 

 

*  *  *

Treasury yields tumbled...

 

The Dollar dropped modestly with buying in Asia/Europe session once again and selling in US session..

 

And Commodities soared...

 

Led by a triple whammy for Crude... Production cut, PEMEX rig fire, and "no deal" with Iran... best day in 2 months (then faded after NYMEX Close)

And gold was well bid north of $1200...

 

Charts: Bloomberg

Bonus Chart: Climbing The Wall Of Absolutely No Worries...

My intuition is telling me that these fuckers are using the Shemittah cycle in their algo fake 'market' casino.

http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/562077/jewish/What-Is-Shem...

And 7 years after the big crash of Sept 2008 is this Sept. So I'm taking a geuss that this Sept they'll take the 'market' to the woodshed again to fuck us Goyim cunts.

Alex, I'd like to solve this puzzle. ..is the answer...The Fed

We all know QE is the Fed's stated vehicle to artificially rig interest rates lower and artificially maintain a market for Treasury's and MBS...and in the following link, pretty well establish there is a backdoor QE of similar size going on to maintain the rigged US Treasury "market" in the current absence of formal QE...

http://econimica.blogspot.com/2015/03/brics-blink-or-more-correctly-wink-and.html

So, if it's clear the biggest "market" is out and out rigged...if multiple CB's now openly advertise their equity purchasing with funny money, if the CME has an incentive program specifically for CB's purchasing equity's, why would we think otherwise for the Fed and US equities???  Which leaves us with this...

It's official:  the Russell's become largely untradable, ending near Unch with a big, green, phallic hammer (not that the other indices are a piece of cake).    Dollar fear realloactions by big state funds?  Predatory algos?  A sick joke by Bernanke's blog editor?  Planetary positioning?  An error in JPM's code?  Who cares -- time to move on.

Allll complete bullshit, and friends and family can't fathom why I spend all my time playing for money at the pool hall. They ask 'wow, isnt that risky?' I reply 'Far less risky than your so-called 'equity assets.'

“Take the Fed-Heads Bowling” by Camper Van Beethoven

Every day I get up and pray to Janet
And she increases the remaining days of ZIRP by exactly one
Everybody's buying bonds these days
Last night there were Fed-Heads on my lawn

(Chorus) Take the Fed-Heads bowling, take them bowling
Take the Fed-Heads bowling, take them bowling

Some people say raising rates is a pain (is a pain, is a pain)
Some people say before long we’ll be like Spain (be like Spain, be like Spain)
Kocherlakota’s name doesn’t rhyme with anything (anything, anything)
Read the last Fed statement, but forgot what it said (what it said, what it said)

Take the Fed-Heads bowling, take them bowling

Had a dream last night about QE4 . . .

What an absolute joke these price indices formerly known as markets have become.

Traitors, sell outs and crooks are all we have left running our country.

1% up or down, means nothing. It goes 1% up or down everyday .

Tell me when there is 50% gold up or down or something relevant happens.

 Look at the PeNikkei CFD's. The BoJ is all over the premarket ramp. the Tankan and manufacturing PMI #'s were complete shit last night and the nikkei is up almost 1.00%? I can't wait to see the foreign bonds buying, and foreign investments in Jap stocks later.

Nikkei 225 19,212.00 19,034.84 19,227.00 19,032.00 +177.16 +0.93%
