PPT, or wall st covering their shorts they were selling at 2100 for the last 6 months?
Oh PPT.....live forever!
the invisible hand of the market strikes again
The purpose of Government is to MAKE LIFE FAIR !
(They wouldn’t be forced to if there were a GOD )
Inconceivable!
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
And, I don't think we're done with "sell the rip" just yet.

The good news is that they love us and want us to live happy, fulfilling lives. The bad news is that's a lie.
Awesome! I've taken the liberty to send that along to some buds as their "Zen for the Day"
PPT orders say keep the Dow above 16k
Didn't JP Morgan try this in 1929?
Some things never change.
If there was a god, we wouldn't have to deal with this shit period.
God gave us gold and silver. We decided to go our way and use FRNs. Don't blame this on God after he told us 1 million times debt is bad.
That's convient. Only the good stuff is attributed to Him.
Hey, God WANTS us to be poor, thus the giant squid.
Right, because there is no such thing as evil in the world.
Classic ignorance, It's God's fault not ours..... From those who live contrary to God, don't believe He exists, and yet, blame their elleged non existant God.....
The markets are built on usuary by men who seek to live off other peoples labor, rather then the sweat of their own brow.
If we had listened to God we wouldn't have to deal with this shit period!
I think they work quite hard to enslave us. Their line of work might turn out to be the most dangerous job in the world (tar and feathers and all). They work hard, they just have a different moral compass, an evil one. But they have done well in programming the masses to lose, by accepting their "money".
Its a common misconception that God is supposed to somehow PREVENT suffering.
I'm not sure thats in his job description at all. I think he HELPS PEOPLE through their suffering, if they ask for help. But prevention? That would be like God interfering in sporting contests! Ri-dic-u-lous.
Exactly! Thats why a recored 94 million are not in the labor force and sitting at home reading ZH

Governments take from the productive to purchase votes. They made it unfair and then fooled you into thinking they're looking out for you, by fixing the mess they produced.
Government is your God!
"Government is your God"
Seems eerily similar to the days of divine kings, no? Or to the kings of the Bible. Wars of nationalism are strangly religious wars.
With lies coming from at least 3 directions, what's a poor soul to do.
If you had read your Bible for yourself rather then listen to someone else, you would know, God was their King, and it was the People who cried out for a man to be "King", as they always have.
Their was only one "divine king" to walk the face of the earth and we crucified him!
I don't care if they're communist, democratic, republic, they're all evil kings! Government is your enemy, and all tolerable governments are governments who fear their people, not the other way around!
Because ONLY God is Good and only God is looking out for you!
When these Kings soon decide to divide His land and return Israel to it's 1967 borders the clock will begin clicking. It wont be long before He gathers them into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and we once again see this Divine King as a Roaring Lion.
Vengeance is the Lord's and the Meek will inherit the Earth!
...equality of misery.
China is so jealous of our PPT wizards and fairy tale market.
ok market moved up too fast. Trip the circuit breakers. Whats fair is fair.
This is so funny. Defend your last castle muppets. You are surrounded.

God works in mysterious ways.
It's just you and your tattered libido against the banks and mortician forever, man. And it wouldn't luck if you could get out of life alive.
Godman Sach?
It's the beginning of the "ripsaw". They're going to collect your shorts and stops
This isn't a stick save. China runs the show now. All the FED has left is the "ripsaw".
GEORGE HARRISONArt Of Dying Lyrics
There'll come a time when all of us must leave hereThen nothing sister Mary can do
Will keep me here with you
As nothing in this life that I've been trying
Could equal or surpass the art of dying
Do you believe me?
There'll come a time when all your hopes are fading
When things that seemed so very plain
Become an awful pain
Searching for the truth among the lying
And answered when you've learned the art of dying
But you're still with me
But if you want it
Then you must find it
But when you have it
There'll be no need for it
There'll come a time when most of us return here
Brought back by our desire to be
A perfect entity
Living through a million years of crying
Until you've realized the Art of Dying
Do you believe me?

Invisible hand of algos that liquidated retail and sucker-punched the shorts before slamming the gate this morning.
NOW after the muppets have been gutted it's calvary time for the institutions.
I love the invisable hand of the "Free Market" LOL
Reality to PPT ....
Im Winning!

Who should I call first?
Try your Uncle Bernie in "Belgium"
If he doesn't pick up, CALL ROTO ROOTER! STAT!
I wonder if they'll manage to turn it green for today... wouldn't that be a killer joke
I would not surprise me, quite honestly; or, a modest loss.
"smart money on the sidelines raced into todays close to scoop up bargains, in the expectation of further corporate yield improvements"
I forgot all about the "money on the sidelines"...hadn't heard that in a while, LOL.
The PPT can control any given day, but for any longer term it's into the dumper. The PPT is no longer in control of the big picture.
There is no PPT (according to Armstrong, its all natural market forces."Everything is connected". What??)
Think we need to go back to the 2007-2008 archives. Touch up on some green shoots and one liners. History may not repeat, but it sure as fuck rymes!
Really. Can't make market intervention so obvious.
Dead cat bounce.
Yup dow green by end of day lmfas
They most defiantly will. I have faith in our PPT. Sellers and short sellers will be defeated!

The new rule of the investing world...
SHORTS WILL GET BURNT!
Only way is Up!
Tylers...are using the servers in the toilet like Hillary? This site is bogging down like a mother fucker. Hey Yellin...quit hitting refresh you stupid bitch...men here are talking. It is like a skipping CD... I refresh, and jut hangs for a while. CNBC site is really bad. Can you imagine Ameritrade or any of the shit trading sites and you are trying to get out of this shit storm. Like waiting at the ATM in Greece. FUcking sheep. Then can you imagine the margin calls after today. Then that just keeps feeding this pig...right?
If it makes you feel better, I posted a comment last night (in response to Publicus and his theory of abiotic oil) ... and it went missing after it was up for a bit. It was a youtube on how oil is formed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e44ydPIQGSc
I didn't freak out, because I suspected it is a general issue that becomes more prominent when load goes up.
At one time, I ran a website one time that did 100k to 150k pages a day. When they dropped it in my lap, it was crashing and restarting every 15 SECONDS. It took me months of tracing down all sorts of issues and fixing them to improve load handling.
I am sure ZH does what they can, but when everyone in the finance industry, who normally doesn't troll ZH, wants to know what the fuck is going on, they probably drop by hear to see what is posted. Realize most folks in finance are quite happy with their lot in life and don't want to entertain ideas that maybe they are complicit in the gigantic fucking on which our wonderful nation has been on the recieving end. Or maybe, like some scumbag realtor who is too busy ripping off his clients, freaks out and wants to know what is interfering with his gravy train.

LOL....The Realtor comment. You are so right. I check this site 2 or 3 times a day...favorite site. Can you imagine these fucks coming over here and reading our joy at there demise. I think most people here on ZH have been out of the market forever...or shorted the fuck out of it. If you didn't...you are an absolute idiot. I have been out since Dot Com BS. Have a great day. Let's see DOW down 1500 at close...wooooohooooooooo.
Oil is abiotic, or else we'd run out of it.
Your rebuttal says it all!

A book by Thomas Gold, "The Deep Hot Biosphere," published in 1998, posits that there are life forms
(such as suggested by Dr. Jolivet in comment #2) that are able to thrive in a subsurface environment as deep as 10 kilometers or more. Very hot, high pressure, etc. A test drilling in Sweden in the early 1990's, about 4 km deep in igneous rock, found microbes and other life forms, supporting Gold's theory.
His main goal was to test the concept that coal and petroleum aren't fossil-based, but are continually generated from methane gas and other chemicals in the crust.
Russian and Ukrainian scientists were among the earliest to do deep-drill explorations in this quest. The last couple chapters speculate on origin of life here and in other places in the universe. Quite interesting book. Perhaps the future sampling of Lake Vostok will shed some light (no pun intended) on the topic.
And isn't it any wonder why we see methane gas as well as CO2 on other planets and moons in our solar system. Wouldn't be surprise if we drilled and found oil out there too. Talking about total mind fuck.
Adblock plus...completely changes the user experience here.,,install it!
I have adblock ... and I am AK time so I was here "late" last night ... the site was acting up then, but there was a lot of stuff hitting/posting, so I think their load was going up even though it wasn't US business hours.
I figured they either deleted my comment (not likely) or they had to roll back some transactions in the database (why? who knows!) and my post got tossed. All I know is I saw it up after I posted, so I know it round tripped properly - but was gone a few minutes later.

Ghostery. Available as a google and firefox add-on.
BTFD has become STFR!! Thank You!
A CRACK you can feel in your heels. Sell to whoever is buying - quick!
Thank you, God's Chosen Ones!
C*NTS
BTFD. Its FED software stupid.
of course it's the ppt. low volume ramps will be the order of the day.
That only costs about a trillion in future taxdollars...
SPEND IT WISE!!!
and bring me a hotdog will ya!
"future taxdollars"
Now THAT'S funny!
All I know is my grandkids are super pissed!
Mine would be too if i could pry one outta my kids nutsack
People are losing faith in this shit. Soon only PPT will "invest".
In-the-know HFT will still be there. Oh wait, that's probably the same folks.
I'm serious: Who votes the shares owned by the PPT (NYFed) at corporate shareholder meetings? Why isn't this a form or nationalization or facism? I know the Fed is not part of the Federal Government, but it is an instrument of the deep state, so the question remains.
You should have put "mystery buyer" in quotes.
Suze Orcman got pull is what it is.
"mysterious"???
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Markets are giving a big F U to the whole centrally planned model.
I think the markets have benefited from the b.s. out of Washington.
Might be pissing in the wind at this point...
It's gotta be Cramer: buy! BUY! Bye! Boohay, bitchez!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrOeGCJdZe4
Prop up a propped up market.
LEAVE THE MARKETS ALONE FUCKERS.
WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?
It's the same mysterious buyer who stepped in during PM's waterfall moments! What, was that?
Nobody stepped in? They were just allowed to fall? OK nevermind, it's some other entity. My bad.
"We can't let those Ron Paul a$$holes win the day with their gloom and doom scenarios and the terrorists will have won...."
If I could PLUS 1000 this, I would.
I lent you one of mine.
*thumbs up*
Must. Keep. The. ShitShow. Going.
Gee, I'm sure glad the retail investor didn't get wrapped up in this.
Yeah, I'm glad US/UK/EU Pensions, Municipals, States, and institutions like our Universities are not involved in the Stock Market even though the Bond Market has had no opportunities since 2008.
S/
FUCK YOU Yellen!
Are you shitting me? A SINGLE buyer can manipulate the entire market in that fashion? ONE BUYER? Just one?
They must have spent the weekend consolidating funds.
The business of government is to prop up its own Ponzi schemes. Must be the small print in the constitution. Or maybe it was on the back?
Hidden by the shitstains.
What will happen when the Fed owns all stawks?
Progressive utopia.
The ZioMafia takeover will be complete, and you may report to the FEMA camp for re-education.
orgy. dimon's bringing the wesson.
Smith & or Dan?
Oh, wait, THAT Wesson. Won't they need a TARP then?
Stawks will have as much value as the FRN then.
Mt. Doom will have the
"one ring to rule them all".
(It's a real-life global Monopoly game,
and one player will eventually buy up all the property because he is the "bank"
with an endless supply of monopoly money.)
Too late PPT jerks!
Just sold SPXS at $24.40 - for a 30% gain in a week!
S&P close around 1911 today...
BTFD YOU FEGGITS
This is so awesome and people still think this is normal.
Hopefully, by the end of day they'll lose their ass and be forced to say, "Hmmm, we really need to change those algos."
Algoz been optimized for continual up market, not so much experience with this shitstorm.
Thus, the need to change them.
My buy algo trips at DOW/2.
Why dont they use plunge protection on the hard working peoples checking accounts
If anyone says 'nobody could see this coming; they should be -
1. Taken out at dawn
2. Shot
3. Family gets an invoice for a) the ammo, and b) the wages of the shooters.
Dont forget the obamacare bill for body disposal and $13 asprins.
dupe
Fucking Belgians.
Had one of their beers this weekend, quite tasty, you gotta take the bad with the good, I guess.
those monks sure know how to brew beer.
There's nothing else to do.
Haha! The money on the sidelines? These fucking maggots print this casino into oblivion. What does your dollar buy you granny?
THis is becoming so obvious that even Muppets might catch on...discretion is advised...
Yep. This market's being laid dow like a little baby. Started with the "chinese communist party" deciding and managing to hold 3200 on the SSE Comp last night. Orderly panic.
Will finish in green today!
/s
A small window for those that didn't sell weeks ago. Get out while you still can.
Fraudulent farce.
Viva Belgium!
Which FEDhead will say something about not raising rates today to try and jawbone stocks?
I guess after this week, they could proclaim they believed the rate hikes were already priced in from the China Massacre.
Financed with naked Gold/Silver shorts I bet
AAPL 10 percent in 5 minutes on NO volume..... Cool. No one who owned AAPL had a stop in apparently.
is it too late for me to sell last Wednesday?
Yeah and buy some SDOW.
PPT did not do much good. Dow now down 1000pts again.
Good luck shining up this turd... remember China will open again. On the brights side copper and oil might end up being free at this rate. We have war risk too (another explosion in Japan and a bunch of other stuff last night) supressing gold is about to get really phucking expensive.
You may have a drawing of a dead cat on that chart later today.
The French PPT must be taking today off, down 8.63%
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Go, Kevin Henry! Gooooooo!
DOW was sitting on a mountain top.
30,000 feet to drop.
Tied me on a runaway horse
Uh huh, that's right, of course.
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Go, Kevin Henry! Go, Kevin Henry!
One day, I met a girl named Janet.
She was the savior of then planet.
I'm Kevin, the kind of guy
Who can't stand to see a little girl cry.
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Go, Kevin Henry! Go, Kevin Henry!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Go, Kevin Henry! Gooooooo!
I was riding on a Dark Pool scene
Got a message from my FED RES queen.
She was hanging on a fishing line.
Mr. Yellen didn't waste no time!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Go, Kevin Henry! Go, Kevin Henry!
Once upon a time, I went insane.
Got a ticket on a DC plane.
Mr. Henry didn't need no chute!
DOW was high and ready to boot!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Go, Kevin Henry! Go, Kevin Henry!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Go, PPT! Go, PPT!
Hey, I don't recall seeing you at the last Financial Parody Union meeting :) Nice job, but be careful, these things can be strongly addicting ...
I would love to become the head lyricist.....
As you can see, I do an ok job.
There's a good chance I'll be winding down by mid-Sept, done over 130 this year and need a break, so why not send in your resume to Tyler?
For Realz player?
Yep, 137 to be precise, have to track 'em in a spreadsheet
Big Money... saves the day... but maybe not?
Do you trust the fat finger of CONfidence?
Possible Planned Collapse?
What are the possible reasons?
- Chinese & US Markets were over-valued
- They want to prepare for war, Currency Crisis, Liquidity Crisis, Credit Crisis, Immigration Crisis, Food Crisis, Terror Crisis, Tax Hike for Federal Debt Crisis & States Sovereign Bond Crisis
- Deflation Spotted
- All Governments Globally are ready to Reset, Write off Debt, Move to new Currency, Join GLobal Government
The objective: Make all workers worldwide work for Chinese and Indian wages with the bankers as lords and masters.
Yeah that is part of it.
How come PPT did not step in to buy my gold and silver stocks????
Let me guess. The following steps of us gov to stop plunging.
1. outlaw shorts
2. have fbi arrest agrressive shorts
3. Tell the media to spread the news that patriots must buy stock to fight against foreigner attacks on our financial system
There is no market. This is not a struggle of a free market. Along with PPT, it is set of speculators betting and fighting against each other causing massive collateral damage.. Monday close will give some clues.
At the same time, my friend Silver is getting its ass handed to it. The gold/silver ratio now stands at 78.6. So as we marvel at indices that trade at 50-60 times forward earnings on average, we may also be amazed at how cheap silver is relative to gold, given the historical ratio of 16:1. Both will correct. One already is starting to, it seems.

anyone want to start a pool on the # of "v"s we get today?
