LOL!!!!!!!!
Nobody saw this coming today or the self help....nobody
GODDAMNIT! Assholes, wait for the last hour & then start panic-selling.
OMG, I just creamed myself.
Last night the main breaker in my house popped. It's never done that before- ever in the 17 years I've lived there. I took it to be a bad sign.
It was all that porn.
ZH assholes.....that will never happen.
Sorry....I'm channeling my inner MDB this morning.
How many Keynesians does it take to predict a stock market bubble?
- "the only bubble is in gold".
I take a couple days off to help my boy with his pitching windup and baseball swing and this happens?
My bad.

Time well spent, miss those days. First time in 15 years I won't be gearing up for football with the kids - HS or college. All done.
Beats any of this contrived shit any day of the week.
I hear there's high demand for lefty pitchers.
Sell your house after you switch on the breaker.
Nah, I figure it's only a matter of time before I'm collecting "total loss" insurance money from the fire. I've tried for years to get my wife to clear all the junk outta the place, but she never does. This should help in that respect, too.
Short insurance companies...
I see lots of claims in their future.
FORCE MAJUERE, bitchez!!!
All Ponzi schemes come to an end
Last night my nose filled with smoke from the WA state wildfires as the half moon glowed amber...
Check that no extension cords are running across the lawn into an outdoor electical socket to power the neighbor's pool filter in the wee hours of the night (this happened to me).
Hey wait! There's a reason they call them courtesy outlets.
Watching CNBC with this over their "noise":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TEGPelS3Ac
Is horribly entertaining.
.
Thanks for watching CNBC for us.....I absolutely can't do that crap.
I am now watching this stupid bitch with Tupac's Hail Mary over her.
Its essentially so I can listen to what I want while the boss thinks I have CNBC on. "Market Research."
Thanks for the suggestion, turned it on, laughed within 60 seconds. Kramer: "The buyers don't show up on the first day after, usually the second day." aka, "BTFD."
Like we said last week, it is shock and awe time! No relief is coming, then the Pope flies in to announce a new world currency and/or the New World Order on September 23.
my position....if we just lose one year of gains, then all we've really done is prove that 15 years of intervention is still massively positive....okay, 20 years if you include the FED induced high tech debt/margin bubble. We aren't close to paying off the piper yet....expecially if you throw in 19T in debt.
Can someone with start a "investors lives matter" campaign and get Washington to pass legislation to all for ALL Capital Losses to be captured in the period they were incurred. that would shake them up a little....the annual loss cap is just part of the ratcheting ponzi scheme.

We need to reset to 7 years back, not just 1 year.
Need to hit reset 100+ years. There, fixed it for ya.
I've been right all along! I was just off by 4 years...
If an MD told a person their high blood pressure, smoking and cholesteral were going to kill them is the doctor "wrong" if a year later if the person is still alive?
Haha, i keep telling the wife that
I'm as bearish as anyone but this is overdone.
DavidC
Everyone was looking for a Macro event to take it out. But we may have just the opposite a massive correction causing the Macro event.
I remember the Citibank memo at 666, I thought should I go long here.....? I didnt, and the almost 400% move was missed.
This now has enough downward momentum that the PPT, will have its work cut out for it.
There are alot of line shots that could turn it around quick. An emergency Fed meeting comes to mind.
I'm as bearish as anyone but this is overdone.
Mr. Lay....are you smoking crack?
The financial system is much like our healthcare system. It is sustained upon hope, defying a millenia of reality that we will in fact die, by promising technology that could surely guarantee eternal life. And when the 'big one"comes, we will always be in denial due to our absolute certainty that our geniuses will save us once again, when in fact they are simply ensuring that they will drain our wealth before we die...and we will die.
The market has been artificially elevated...deliberately, in the hopes of drawing the retail money back in, for that is the only REAL money out there as it was created by production, not printing. My belief is that this was only destined to continue until they believed that they had lured all the money "on the sidelines" in, that they could get. They did similar things with shale oil, sucking in retail money on "lucrative" bets, only to watch these people fleeced as well.
Continued government printing will only dilute their existing holdings as it will attract no more sideline money. The muppets are slowly wising up and this is the tipping point between asset collection and wealth dilution.
Some times it feels good having crates and crates of nice fluffy two-ply under lock and key.
Bean Run!
The FED will bail it out again. They are typing away on their computers right now buying stocks.
Picked a heckova day to quit sniffing glue.
Imagine how worse things would be if the Moroccan killer on that train had machine gunned everyone in the carriage, as the NWO planned. But for the actions of one anonymous Frenchman, an American expatriate living in France and three former students at a Christian Academy (particularly Spencer Stone), we would have a massacre on top of a crash. Manchurian Candidate Obama must be gnashing his teeth on how those guys foiled a well-crafted false flag attack.
You have to hand it to the chinese communist party, it decided sometime yesterday that the SSE wouldn't close below 3,200 and managed to hold to those levels. Fortunately, that contrivance is visible to the entire world. May as well have closed below 3,000 today.
They are now setting the agenda. Monday mornings never mattered much in Asian markets because the West, NY was setting the agenda.
Tyler, just to let you know, ALL articles today are rated "Awsome" and thanks for the education.

They have learned their lessons very well, thank you very much.

Option rage?
A friend in San Francisco told me this story yesterday: she was parked in one of those curb lanes that becomes a No Parking turn lane between 4 and 6 PM. It's around noon. She comes to her at with an arm load of groceries and a guy in a Mercedes starts beeping his horn, told down his window, and screams at her. She points at the sign; he doesn't stop screaming.
Me: How old was he?
ShE: late 20s or so.
Me: Last week he was a multimillionaire, now he can't make his next car payment. Be careful out there.
Turn those machines back on! Turn those machines back on!
WTF! I didn't pay millions for proximity access just to get shut down! What good is an HFT algo if you can't use it? Fuck! FUCKFUCKFUCK! I WANT TO FUCKING SELL!!!
NOW!!!!
Somewhere there IS somebody saying that. When you can't sell the stuff you want to sell, you have to start selling the stuff you CAN sell. Whether you want to or not.
WTI!
Uh Oh. Strap on the seatbelt kiddies.. gonna be a wild one.
Strap on the strap on.
"I'm Ben Dover and I approve of that message."
Halt those 'free markets' lol
Freefalling markets
Wow. Just.....Wow.
Sweet...
Burn and die you goddam Keynesian frigging stock market a$$holes!!! Writhe in agony motherfuggers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sum Ting Wong?
Dim sum.
I have $1.69 left in the bank. Will close out the account this morning before the rush forces the bank to close.
$2.88 in my account. Definitely closing mine too.
Paupers! I got four figures!
(including the stuff after the decimal point)
Rate hikes my ass...that aint happenin
Are they even gonna open?
How long do the algos need to take a shit and jump down the fibre-optic cable?
They only halt on the way down....what ever happened to "creative destruction"?
Free markets my a$$
Whatever happened to creative destructtion?
It made way for controlled demolition.
This is being "allowed" to happen to justify a rate move next month and this year, that the fed knows they can not make and can't just about face without a reason. Markets will resume their normal uptrend shortly.
So you are betting the Fed will make a statement for QE4 this week?
Maybe. However, this appears a little more serious and widespread than would have been necessary only as cover to 'cancel' the rate hike.
The Fed is worried about 1 trading instrument...the dollar index. The rest is collateral damage imo.
Maybe? The again...
Can someone share the rules in halting trading....only time I can remember is 3 to 4 pm there is no limit. Been a long time since used.
on fox bis, all the ass hat 0.1% LIKE grasso, saying keep your positions stay the course..ignore that ice burg we are unsinkable..gotta see it to believe it folks..2008 they yelled hold hold hold and took it down until everyone panicked ..cramer" bear sterns is solid folks it's a screaming buy"
IT'S. ABOUT. FUCKING. TIME.
BTFD. /s
The Fed will do nothing.
The Fed Can do Nothing.... Fixed it for you..... They can through QEx at it, and that will give it a bounce, but fundamentally, well, Game Over.
<-- Rate Hike
<-- QE4
Bi-polar, dysfunctional, fixed, ....
I think the QE schtick is over. Too many years of data demonstrating it only enriches the Goldman Balsachs amonst us . . . while creating food and basic service inflation for everyone else. It's time for (b) BK for all insolvents; (c) global .gov/global currency; (d) war. I think our Dear .gov is gonna go with a world war.
Don't worry! The L.A. Times says " This is just a pause in the bull market's march higher."
LOL
Hmm, who's buying today? None of my friends are buying today.
Laugh or cry?
I never had sexual relations with those markets...
Bagholder anyone?
Bag Holder. Except he has already been bagged.
LoL! Circuit breakers! That is all you need to know about this 'market' in two words.
One-way breakers - they don't prevent surges to the upside!

Go all in.

We could see them queueing sell orders, and going full POMO-PPT CRAZY ...
(but by the end of the week the whole DOW might be owned by the Federal Reserve)
(which would be crazy)
(scratch that -it's just crazy)
What we need are magical beans.
Eat enough and you give off magical gas.
Told ya that the NYSE was going to be on a week long sabbatical this week!!!
Where's Million Dollar Bonus when you need him?? This is just begging for his commentary!
Where's Million Dollar Bonus when you need him?? This is just begging for his commentary!
If we don't hear from him ever again it will be the best of news!
I was about to say "luck" on the tail end of that last sentence but a "four leaf clover" and the winning Power Ball ticket wouldn't fix what we're ALL about to experience...
10% should do it.
NO EXIT ....
The fed should give trillions to the world's richest people. That will solve everything.
Anyone who claims they didn't see this coming needs to seriously lay off the KOOL-AID. We saw this a mile off... market was signalling something was wrong since Q4 2014 and has continued up until where we are. Complete irrational exhuberance.
Forget all about raising interest rates and get ready for QE4 because that is all they have left in their arsenal. Keep a watchful eye on the dollar. It's already falling sharply. If the dollar continues to fall sharply, it may offset any QE as the faith is lost in the currency. This could set the stage for a hyperinflation economy via severe stagflation. Watch for it.
it's on like donkey kong bitchez
"....and we are off...no, we are stuck on the lows of the morning....waddya mean they won't execute my sell order! Whoops, back to news of the morning, do you know where your money is?"
LOLOLOLOL
The children are freaking out.
LOLOLOL.
Unfortunately, metals aren't moving up with the same momentum.
Does the US still have a physical metals market anymore?
No

I hear popcorn and beer futures are up significantly.

CNBC:
Amid carnage, strategists predict bounce; 'go all in’How many times today will they ask the question "is this the time to buy?"
At least those who went down on the Titanic had class.
time to make my statement you've seen numerous times before:
If we're going to have circuit breakers for the way down we should have them for the positive side too. This is clearly a rigged game when you have one sided safeguards.
Super "O" is back from vacation.
But it's not helping equities
How are bonds doing today?
We're gonna need another Telepromted one-way Negrotiation to get us out of this one. . .
Circuit breakers? OK - so what makes us so much different from what China does? We make fun of their policies but accept ours as being prudent.
Shit, we need moar Krugman; get him on TEEVEE now! He needs to go commando with his Fed cheerleader uniform on and twerk HARD like his life depends on it!
I guess the can finally got tired of being kicked down the road.
I'm watching MW futures reporting... now they are saying only -3.9%... too funny. Prior to the circuit breaker halt it was -5.0%
Excited to see what happens when the market opens.
There's nothing like a margin call and the ring of the phone in the morning.

I haven't purchased a stock since 2009. But I will be jumping back in at Dow 8,500 and S&P 666.
...oh and another +1 for the avatar.
At bugout location in Maine woods. Gonna go fly fishing...
The shti hit the fan last week and now they are smelling it. The Shitmetah is upon us. The market will bounce on wednesday and then wave 5 down will continue into next week.
Dollar just tanked bigtime. Recovering a bit now. Good thing I have a currency basket.
Only 14 more minutes!
Popcorn ready! Next break hitting the cash machine.... again.

TPTB has to blow something up besides the market today.
Muppets need to watch something physical in flames and the images of things exploding in Asia is just too abstrct to hold a well-heeled American muppet's attention.
With all of this talk about massive amounts of wealth evaporating, I just ran to the safe to count my Eagles and Maples. Still have the same amount as yesterday - I must have hedged well or something.
Change your avatar...NOW. It is a violation of the ZH rules that you AGREED to. Do it for the the children who use ZH as a training tool. Thank you.
Drop your cocks and grab your socks boys. This is gonna be a rough one.
Blame ISIS.
This is funny. Everyone is pointing fingers at China for all this market volatility as if our own markets and systems are so fucking pure and void of manipulation. Ignorant fucks.
These circuit breakers piss me off, I am trying to enjoy myself here. While watching the blood bath in Asia last night I noticed that there was another explosion in Japan, a Israeli fighter down in Syria and a Chinese and Russian Navy drill has begun. Happy Shemitah Bitchez!
i know! we have the pop corn and now our entertainment is buffering or something
Long on horses!
