'Investors' Panic-Buy Stocks After Confidence Collapse Sparks Biggest Short-Squeeze In 6 Months
China closes weak... Europe weak... US Consumer Confidence collapses... Energy credit risk increases dramatically... and stocks rip led by Energy in yet another epic short squeeze...
We can't help but think this happens...
It seems some think China was up last night... sure it was up off the lows... but is this really the backbone of a face-ripping rally in US Stocks...?
And Japanese stocks hit a 2-week low...
US Stocks traded weaker into the open... but once Consumer Confidence collapsed, Energy stocks went into full short squeeze mode and exploded everything higher...
With cash indices all soaring...
Getting everything back to green from Friday briefly... before Nasdaq and Small Caps faded back...and then a final ramp to get Nasdaq green on the week!
As the big triple short squeeze hit...
This was the biggest short squeeze in 6 months
Much was made of the ramp in Energy stocks... best day for Energy sector since Dec 2014...
Well we've seen this before... BTFD once, shame on me... Energy Credit ain't buying it...
And neither is WTI Crude!!!
Yet another breadth indicator flashes red...
Treasury yields rose on the day but rallied after the weak confidence data...
The USDollar closed higher but once again flipped its regime at the EU close...
Commodities all rose on the day with Copper and Crude popping most...
WTI Crude tested a $46 handle overnight before its mini melt-up ahead of API tonight...

Where can we find FEMA coffin futures? Long all day.
I confess I can't draw any conclusion from these charts. As far as FEMA coffins, they don't have enough. After they use up their small supply, they'll use the oldie but goldie: mass graves a mile long with bodies stacked ike cordwood. Long Caterpillar.
Why is anyone surprised?
Remember when the market stopped at 666? That was the message. We control everything absolutely.
And Congress said to Paulson: "How much money do you want?"
can'tchya just feel it? Like static in the air just before a lightning bolt stikes.
Pass the popcorn
"...long FEMA coffins", why, are they renewing orders?
Lightning strikes then...
Oh, you mean the shlock market? Where schlocks are destroyed every single day?
If every little guy got out of the market all at the same time, it wouldn't even show up as a ripple in the farce.
PBOC has much to learn.
They should start out by watching Star Wars.
Indeed. The Dark Side of The Farce is strong.

Not a problerm for me; I covered my latest batch of S&P500 Shorts yesterday; as posted here. That;s the seventh time in a row now; I've sold near a high; sometimes I'm out of the money for a week, but I don't care, and then I cover at a substantial profit. It's the result of understanding what markets are and what they do. The chart postd wtih this article is very good; it shows the programmed selling that comes in at the highs. The rallies are opportunities for the big money to sell out.
That's awesome!
I won $250 at the roulette wheel last night, and people say the casino is rigged. What the fuck do they know?
You seem to have reading problems. This is the seventh time in a row I have done this. I make money every year on Futures Contracts. I pusblish the positions the day I put them on and the day I cover them. When you grow up enough to stop being butt hurt because other people know things that youdon't; you can start studying my trades.
I haven't seen you post any of your trades here ahead of time. I could be wrong, do you have any links to the stories you posted on?

Covered my short Feeder Cattle contracts today @+20,000$ profit.
Covered my grill today as i ate one of your feeder cattle.
Always interesting to see the little people who hates anyone that can do what they cana't.
It takes money to make money Dad.
As a general observation, winners talk about their losers, and losers talk about their winners. If you really are a winner, good for you, but I never post about my winners, primarily because they happen by chance and it messes with my pschology. That's not hate, that's trading.
I still wouldn't want to be you. No matter how much money or how much stuff another person has, I would still rather be me where I am right now with what I have right now. :)~
Congrats on the good day! Now go out and buy the ole lady a new pair of boobs with that 20K.

Model t would love to have you over at. Www.gunsgrubandgold.com with your charts and investment savvy. All are welcome!!!
I'm still not voting for you, Hillary.
If I see a large white rabbit, wearing a vest and carrying a watch pass by, I'm shooting the bastard......
What if one passes by and you don't see it? laughers of stocks perhaps??
I so wish I could find my way out of this rabbit hole! If you kill him we might be stuck!
Great post!
The safest place for your money in a controlled market .. is in the controlled market. Everyone is too big to fail.
Wow! Really? In that case, I think I´ll gather my, and all my relatives entire life savings together, margin it up 5x, invest it all in a domestic copper miner I so love, and rub my hands together over and over while I stare at my computer screen and daydream about how life is going to be as an insanely rich man. I´m just too big to fail! What could possibly go wrong? Know anybody who needs a part-time job? I have a few fields that need to be plowed. I just don´t have time for that kind of work anymore.
Read the Obama Antichrist prophecies.... America is about to go over the cliff into a deep abyss!

“10:15 Tuesday morning” from “10:15 Saturday Night” by The Cure
10:15 on a Tuesday morning
And the Dow rips past yesterday’s high
And I’m seeing that the CCI stinks
But the Dow rips
Rip rip rip rip rip rip rip rip …
Waiting for the closing bell to ring
And I wonder: should I fade this swing?
And I'm crying for price discovery
But the Dow rips
Rip rip rip rip rip rip rip rip …
It's always the same
Still have a little more time before the heebs pull the lever.....Sell at 18k buy the dip(s).
lol
nice ...a Turbo Tuesday mixed with a shot of triple bonus chart in case we ddn't get enough doom. Cheers.
just what the doctor has ordered in the past...
nothing like a low volume stair step ramp to erase all the months losses on the heels of the FED bullshit gathering to "set things a' right"....
DEATH TO THE MONEYCHANGERS.
And tThe Yellen dump on PMs overnight tonight, just for old times sake.
shorts prevent markets from going straight down. But don't tell China.
Bonus chart says this can go on for another 35 years
Give or take 34.
At this point in the absurdity, I think the only safe things to say are tautologies. So, this shit will go on until it stops.
And VIX was smashed and tortured lower like nobody's business!!!
As usual my UVXY fund evaporates into nothingness...
Nothing "(funny)" about that poor bastard passing out face first into a rack of iron dumbells. Jeezus.
May be appropriate though . . .
this is Darwinism in action.
Remember that article yesterday on ZH, you know, the one that said "That's All Folks".
Well, I got news for you, they have unlimited Fiat and don't plan to let this shit show go down while they still have any in the gun. They can buy everything and are.
Short this shit show at your own peril.
Another article also showed that they only dump that fiat into a handful of stocks to pump the whole index. Brilliant scam artists for sure.
You don't get it. Fiat has huge diminishing returns because it is being created ad infinum. DJ 17k and 18k was months ago. If you think this is a buying oppurtunity put your $$$ where your mouth is and BTFD.
Perhaps, but don't forget there are loaded guns behind the fiat. There's confidence for ya.
Kevin Henry is doing coke off of a hooker's tits right now saying, "I'm da best!" Funny thing is DJ 17k looks pretty weak when 18k was taken out over 6 months ago. Poor little guy and his POMO desk are running on fumes.
:(
I believe there is an economic principal "eventually an erection goes limp".
I'm sure I don't want to know where you 'read' that one.
Shit, I have run out of pop corns.
COMEX gold says, "Eh, just another normal day."
I am unreal, but I control reality - COMEX gold.
The FED is better at manipulating the stock market than the BOJ, mainly because they are much better liars.
Investors named Janet.
After a complete collapse in basic materials, the market has one stong up day in...oh look, basic materials, and all of a sudden it's over and time to load up on social media, right?
Somebody has to hold the bag.
That fucker came out of nowhere!

My old macbook pro pre unibody is starting to over heat as usual. ;I have to place ice packs under it if I stream anything. I rebuilt the whole thing. Upgraded memory to 6GB and replaced the hard drive with a 240GB SSD. I also changed out the keyboard, because I killed it when I got Schilitzed and spilled some of that high gravity on it. I would like to replace the mother board. They say it can't be done. Not so sure.
You must love tinkering with your computer.
We will slowly get S&P500 down to around 1700 as they start hiking rates. But no worse than that, at least for the next 1-2 years. So much for the "crash".
Odd, API and Cushing report draws... no mention by Zero? All I can says is "$47 handle".
Chinese fear porn sparks US rally.
What a surprise!
Good job ZH!!
Suck.Squeeze.Bang.Blow.
Suck.Squeeze.Bang.Blow.
All together now! Suck!!!!!!! Squeeze !!!!!!!! Bang !!!!!!!! Blow !!!!!!!!!
Oh Shit! It's making money? Sell! Sell! Sell!
Oh Shit! It's Selling! Buy ! Buy! Buy!
What do you mean I bought a Dead Cat?
Sell! Sell! Sell!
This is the "Fed will delay rate increases until 2016" Rally.
We get the memo Wendesday.
Big players got the memo today
Has to be it!
The FED may need to "save face"; so perhaps a .1% increase to test the proverbial waters. The real financial collapse and supply shortages will happen in the Q1 2016 with many more major tremors in between imo. There likely won't be another Presidential election. Obama said in 2009 that it feels good to be king and the most recent comments indicate he plans to stay. Add to that all the mechanisms are in place to support Martial Law;so now all that is needed is the scapegoat(s)...that should not be hard to engineer on multiple fronts.
--------------------
You are correct about the inside memo, but the short squeeze was easy to see coming. I believe by Friday we will be approaching 18K on the DJIA, then rinse & repeat.
Nice summation and I agree with all of it.
