"Some Folks Are Selling..." Dow Down 350 From Highs, Futures Plunge Below 18,000

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Bond yields are collapsing and US equity markets are not happy this morning. The Dow Industrials are now up only 1.2% year-to-date, and over 350 points from last week's record highs (as Trannies are down over 8% YTD).

 

Bonds are ripping lower in yield...

 

And Dow futures just lost 18,000...

The same range-bound disease that has infected gold the last few years seems to be spreading to other asset classes.

They can't adjust because there's no direction they can go that doesn't end in quicksand. They keep hoping for a market breakout, but not in that direction.....

You really made a good point and that is why we see this up & down sideways movement; it is squeezing the crap out of the short term traders.  The general direction is a smudge upwards, then a 2-3% correction, then more up & down with a .5-1% new record, the rinse and repeat.  Notice that volatility, which should be high; died in one day in Late March if I recall my losses.

You cannot win without inside information, better to buy tampons and metal of all sorts.  I have been disabled since my mid 40's and am 1 medical crisis from bankruptcy and have 2 children under 15.  Obamacare takes about 45% of the disability for the year before using it and the high deductibles means you never really use it.  Someone is laughing all the way in just collecting money for nothing.  I digress again; going to go watch Gunsmoke; the June Harvey YouTube channel has all 20 seasons.

WTF?  Where's the "money" going?

Haven't seen VWAP in most indices since 9:35, if algos get there will we see a renewed wave of selling, or the typical short-covering spike if they get any headroom above that orange line?  Popcorn sales to traders skyrocketing today, so many interesting things to watch ...

Not to worry, with the global economy swirling in the toilet, everybody is investing in anything dollar based. That way the rest of the world goes down first, then the USA tanks taking the last of the economy with it. I need to buy a matched set of plow horses for my bright future.....

The roller coaster can't make it up the next hill without diving down this one.

On and on, up, down, around and around.

Whether the clients make money or lose money, Duke and Duke collects their fee.

Step right up and place your bets, gents!

Naaaah! Their line in the sand is 18k, 2.1k and 5k. You watch, it will end around there or better by evening. They will take out the shorts and then have a melt up tomorrow....or even today....on no volume.

I love the smell of the DOW burning in the morning. It smells like, it smells like VICTORY.

Already see the rigged casino "markets" drifting back up higher...

Likely green or close to green by the end of the day.

BTFATH and go back to sleep and drool on yourselves mother fuckers!

Just the sideways with a downward flavor to squeeze out the traders before moving sideways in the upward direction.  Just watch the Apple bounce up and down between 126 & 131 and you see the micro-picture.

I just covered my TZA bought Friday close.  5.42% profit, the only time I think I have ever made money from that triple leverage dog.  I scrambled for the proffered scrap of meat & took it gratefully ... after the last 6 years of fuckery, how can I 'have faith' we will correct more?

That's because I sold all my Greenbrier and bought B shares of Qingdao Hello Kitty Vibrator Company on the Shenzhen.

Fuck these USSA penny stocks - The East is Red bitch!

Do you know what this website needs?

Some angry lesbian members, real dykes who are straight off of the streets.

Now that would be entertaining. Let's make that happen.

Entertain me goddammit!

Sic enough, they prefer the "red carpet"; considered a delicacy. Yaaaakk.  Then again, likely better than the "stool on the tool" flavor; does anyone see anything "natural" about that?  We completely digress.

Gold and silver, otoh, will continue their slide to new lows, breaching the 11/14 and 3/15 troughs.  Stay away, let it drop, pick up some bullion at NEW DISCOUNTS!

Speaking of Options day...WATCH XLF.

Investors in Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (AMEX: XLF) saw newoptionsbecome available today, for the June 26th expiration. AtStock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the XLF options chain for the new June 26th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.

The put contract at the $24.00 strike price has a current bid of 24 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $24.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $23.76 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of XLF, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $24.29/share today.

Because the $24.00 strike represents an approximate 1% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 58%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 1.00% return on the cash commitment, or 7.30% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoosthttp://www.forbes.com/sites/stockoptionschannel/2015/05/07/interesting-x...
