Markets Hit All Time High As Massive Spoofing Is Unleashed After FOMC Minutes
Update- the illegal spoofing of stocks has now run over into bonds and the dollar...
Stocks taking off to record highs... (except Trannies)
* * *
Surprise: stocks are up and everything else is flat thanks to the illegal miracle of spoofing by the same HFTs that moments ago the very Fed was blaming for soaking up liquidity.

And for the CFTC readers out there, you know who you are, the massive spooffest is shown in Red. Remember: if the spoofing is higher, it's legal. It's only illegal if it sends the "market" lower.
Why focus on Nasdaq? Well that's easy - "spoof" Nasdaq futures higher, drags AAPL higher, which drags the other major indices higher due to its weighting and soon enough you have your momo ignited...
NQ-100 leaped much higher than the other index futures: $NQ_F $ES_F $YM_F $TF_F pic.twitter.com/SLxiRv515Y

As we have said since 2009: the best and only option when trading a market as manipulated as this, is just to sit back and watch as it blows up in the Fed's face. Again.

A gentle reminder from the minutes that many seemed to have missed: "some indicators suggested that valuations remained stretched for some asset classes."

And all things continue as they were...since the fathers fell asleep...
Bernie sanders has an elegant solution, a financial transaction tax, which will kill spoofing, and directing it to college tuition payments.
Keep calm & trade on.... (Not)

it seems a different read from our own ZH ....
Rand Paul is filibustering the Patriot Act right now. http://www.c-span.org/networks/?channel=c-span-2
How is the show?
Pretty good, he's tearing the NSA a new one.
awesome, hope he gets rid of it.
"directing it to college tuition payments." -- Quick question, would that apply to all qualified students in need or will this money (taken from all flavors of people in the market) be directed only to minorities?
Equality? Accountability? CONfidence?
tick tock motherfuckers...
Apparently it's directed to community/state colleges, and not the students directly.
You can bet your ass if it would be passed, only minorities will benefit. Whitey has been fucked and will be fucked until it is over. But have no fear. It is whitey who would rebuild a great nation. We have seen what minorities have done to themselves in this world over time.
I really like this idea ... better if we just tax transactions and use the money to print diplomas and bypass Indoctrinaire College ... absolutely no one will lose. Eliminate HFTs and college debt.
The real deal would be to tax the exchange per trade not executed, not the traders. Exchanges would have the incentive to keep it from happening, and traders would have an incentive to report it. That money would be used to buy gold reserves back, since we all know there's nothing there anymore. ;)

Illegal is such an ugly word. Can't we call it something else? Something nicer? Like, 'impolite' or 'ill-advised' or 'generally discouraged'?
Ethically challenged
It's not illegal, it's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane....
legally impared ... undocumented legality ... Clintonian
If you have ever complained to SEC, you might get a cute email that says, "this violates such and such rule, however, restrictions are only voluntary" --- can you imagine telling a judge that if YOU were caught
"undocumented"
"Privileged" bandits?
Nobility?
Is anyone surprised?
"If you ain't spoofin', you ain't tryin'"
i want to write the program that can execute sell orders onto those buy spoofs.
Spoofing?
That's racist.
No no no..
That would be "spooking"!
I resemble that remark.
Let me know when spoofing turns to spooking. I'm running out of things to mix my kibble with.
Or as we say in da hood....
"we be spoofin..."
That's not Spoofing that's Marketing... lol
Spoofing is actually cheating, just ask the one Indian dude who just received the hundred life sentences for doing it on his own.
Here's a headline from 2009... hum sound familiar??? http://www.cnbc.com/id/29258948
Oh, it's from today. Dump the Fed. Somebody ought to run on that and only that platform, dump the Fed.
I saw it on /NQ at about 1426.
Gang bang cum shots......
Fucking banksters should be sent to waco to meet with those bikers.
so now what the fed does every day is pump the ''market'' up like 3-4 s&p pts daily, and when u add that all up 5 days a week, we r talking like 15-20 pts added weekly, but since it happens in such small increments, its not as obvious, yet it keeps pumping indexes up to all time highs.
of course this all happens with zero pullback
Plunge Protection Team has been going on for decades. They just rebranded product name.
DJIA has traded in a 100 point channel for 4 days. Nah - aint no manipulatin here. Move along.
I did have to chuckle as CNBS indicated sadly that markets had pulled back from highs. Yeah - dumb fucks.
Dow & S & P both set new daily highs and closed lower. In the old days THAT would be news. Not a word spoken on CNBS that that had happened! Useless fucks. And in the old days something like that would have been viewed as a KEY Reversal. We shall see since VIX acted like nothing happened today - even after the indices went crazy & back.

I thought that Indian guy was in custody.
hahahahahahahahahaha
If you ain’t spoofin
You ain’t lootin!
Would appear they've spoofed the money itself.
Guess they got us on that one this little devils!
Algos picking up pennies in front of the steamroller.
Tick Tock, Motherfuckers.

Been doing that for over 7 years now, getting tiring.
get a wider screen, put the market indicies charts to one side and small window-size and have your porn, netflix & zerohedge in other windows. Now it's not tiring, it's just always there in the corner of the screen.
power of hft backed by billions of interest free money ...
WE SPOOFED SOME FOLKS.
"some indicators suggested that valuations remained stretched for some asset classes."
They're just letting the banksters know they're paying too much for blow and hookers. DEA and ATFE get that shit for free. Give 'em a call for discounted pricing. CIA won't respond to requests for quote.
There was a funny moment on fox business where Liz Claman turned to the camera and said "market indices are still holding all time high...", then glanced up at the ticker with a surprised look and said, " wahh, what happened?!"
Really illustrated the simple dilemma that when you're the only party purchasing inflated assets, how are you supposed to take profits without prices going right back down to where they were before your buying frenzy began?
writing options & spoofing with HFT's
“…valuations remained stretched for some asset classes.”
It’s probably better to stay out of these markets. I’ve learned that the information needed to intelligently trade is available about two weeks after you need it; without this knowledge, it’s just a guessing game. And, I’ve never seen anyone who accurately guessed the top or bottom.
It’s better to put your savings into your own productive ability (the best investment possible), someone else’s (the second) physical gold (third) and maybe a small amount of silver.
But, there is more:
Many people suggest that we arrest, or execute those responsible for any number of crimes: 9/11, financial crisis of 2007 (and counting), the looming slaughter of major assets (stocks, bonds, real estate et cetera).
I disagree. First, all prosecutorial, judicial, legislative and media offices are dominated by those guilty. So, who would arrest them… or execute them. Further, if we execute them, I would regard it as an act of mercy: it would put them out of their misery too soon… shorten their pain of guilt too quickly. I would rather prolong both as long as possible. I also suggest something that no one else seems willing to even mention: an investigation and recovery of the booty they took.
And then I would add to my list the best revenge of all: personal success: a profitable business, good investments, an honorable character. But success will all be for naught if you don’t have the good health to enjoy it. You won’t get that good health by taking small doses of poison disguised as “medicine”; nor with “food” barely distinguishable from plastic or lubricating oil. I have a better alternative: a health regimen that has REDUCED my biological age by 50 years; I am over 70 and several former pro and college baseball players tell me, effectively, that I have the coordination and physical condition of a professional athlete around the age of 20; this began 15 years ago – when I was “older”, less coordinated, and had less strength and stamina.
Taking care of your health is not enough: you also have to protect your success; for, if you have good health, what’s the advantage if you don’t have means to enjoy it?
Unfortunately we live in a social system that resents achievement and seeks to control and take part of such achievement in the form of taxes, or some other form of robbery. And where they can’t extort a cut from transactions, they seek to destroy them.
This destruction of achievement reaches an apex during times of social stress or breakdown.
You may think that hoarding supplies and moving to a rural area would provide protection for your life and property. A major verdict of history tells us that would be a very big mistake… usually a fatal mistake. (Please read more)
It may take an exogenous event to put the markets to fair value - such as losing the West Coast
The day Russia comes to the aid of Syria, Iran, and Turkey all allies, against ISIS. That would expose the myth of military supremacy of the US, and everything is done.
Market peak is imminent. The Dow is on the last surge before it reverses and a gets strongly sucked into the deflationary vortex ahead.

pfffft
Dow's good to 24k
Now why would I want me some 24k gold when I could have 24k DOW?
BUY-BUY-BUY-BUY!
