Ummmm.....nevermind.
Time for the deer!
When the house is down, close the casino. Crooks.
How about this corker?
WTF - head explodes! The crash is DUE to extraordinary central bank liquidity. Unbelievable lies.
DUE to AND delayed by.... positive-feedback loop

THIS IS What Happens When You Fuck With The POG!
GOLD Is Constantly "Fixed", Manipulated, Artificial Debasement...
Way To Go, Botchez...
Panic at the Disco, Botchez!
Wonder if all the major media outlets will report this as just another "dip" or "slump"?
Yes... until you see Anderson Cooper and teh talking heads being tackled and taken down live on air.
+1 for Botchez
Halted!?!? WTF!??? When do they ever halt buying!?!?!
What? They need to "change the dice" on the craps tables?
"Turn those machines OFF, Mortimer"
WTF is up with the lowercase!?!?! It should be #WINNING.
Does this mean Ann Margret is not coming?
/joker
Pay attention, everyone. Paper gold to $1135 by close.
Turn on those damn machines!!!!
"Pay attention, everyone. Paper gold to $1135 by close."
Pay attention, everyone. Paper fiat to $0 by 2020.
It's a big shit sandwich and everyone is going to have to take a bite.
But some will have to take much BIGGER bites than others, while being convinced by media pundits they are eating Nutella...
Did the NASDAQ just open down 9.5%?!?
As bubbles go this was not a soap bubble, this was not an innocent little baby gurgle bubble, no this was a full octane FART BUBBLE my friends.
Now who was the prick that pricked this?
I hope it isn't Eddie Murphy AGAIN, man.
Mortimer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DOW was approaching 7% down 20 minutes ago, which triggers the circuit breakers and halts trading. Now it's at 3.5%. Stick save in progress. Look for gold to succumb to the the little guys with their cute tiny hammers soon.
All of the indices got hammered last night.
Asked a buddy of mine who trades stawks what everyone is saying at the big firms. "BUY BUY BUY" was his response. Told me to double down on any open position because the market just "rebounded" 500pts...WTF.
You need to find some new friends,
unless you enjoy their sense of humor...
they mostly come at night. mostly. [/newt]

What are we supposed to use, harsh language?
I've posted this earlier (below), but seriously... Prepping is now going mainstream from a former UK government adviser... erm... extra-financial-sphere-panic

Agent - Yes. Get the 3 B's of survival hedging now. Beans, bullets, bullion. Also have water purification, bleach (chlorine) if nothing else. This can be done for a few hundred bucks except for the bullion part. I have a bugout bag to live for months off the land, the worst case scenerio.
Geopolitics is a very real risk for the next few years. It's like the market. You don't wait to sell and time the market for perfection. You may not need these hedges and I hope we never do. But hope is not a strategy, perseverence is a better concept.
"Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it."

Thanks. I am way ahead of the mainstream curve on this, I just thought it particularly shocking that some previously-.gov guy says it, then it's referenced on a MSM website!
I'll replenish on my way back form the office tonight though...
No, time to get whiskey a case of beer, turn up the music, start BBQing, and clean your rifle. Put Deer Hunter the movie on the TV if it is dark outside where you are... I just love the opening in that movie.
S/
Teeth - I did that this summer and partied my ass off. I hedged and while business was very slow decided to have some fun in this Dark Carnival cycle.
Had to reign it in, the blood pressure was going up and I did wait for a number of years for a particular biz opp for this time so got to increase gym and health for that and the next few years of challenges. Your best hedge is still your health.
Fucking cowards. Let this thing burn.
Eat crow you fucking sheeple & CNBC talking heads.
JIZZEZ!!!
Vala Moglus:
"All stocks must die"
For some comic relief, I just turned on CNBC to watch Cramer's head explode as the DIJA dropped 1042 pts...
Cramer on the crashing Ulta beauty stock; "But people won't just stop doing their hair...BUY!!"
That's all theyre doing this am. "What should we buuuuuy?" Ludicrous. Like late night horror movie hosts.
LOLOLOL now he's blaming it all on TEH MACHINES. omg.
Beware of psychotic, highly leveraged traders on the roads today. Saw four of them today on my drive in. Post close it may be worse.
I watched that for a few on a Friday so I could wait to hit that 'buy buy buy!' button. I'll wait a month or so and evaluate then. Buying anything in panic mode is unwise.
would someone please post circuit breaker trigger points on cash markets

So many people would have tweeted or otherwise remarked to friends about this article but you had to ruin it by posting such a useless and vulgar thread at the top. Shameful!
Maybe he was doing it on purpose.
in other words "we are completely aware that this is a bubble caused by easy money, but we expect you to ease further". Keynesian/Friedman economics in a nutshell.
Halt
Who goes there?
Seller or buyer
Seller = Foe
buyer = friend
Won't stop before traitors are executed
They shoot sellers now days
Buyers................welcome friend
Please tell me that I'll get to see some rich fuckers lose everything and then, more importantly, committ suicide. After killing their snot-faced kids and entitled, pretentious, otherwise useless wives.
Don't worry! Birinyi just said that stocks will "come out ok" after a short correction!
China gunning fr the dollar. Get the scotch and popcorn. Dow 50,000 hats are being printed
Fuck what is does for health, it just feels good.
This attitude permeates our society, like a tattoo that cannot be removed without considerable pain.
When do I cover my shorts?
That's the problem. Now you CAN'T cover them. Nor can you take your winnings.
Closed for business.....
Like me, Doc and a bunch of others have been saying for a long time. There won't be a crash next time. They'll just yank the plug and that will be that. Sorry, casino's closed. Thanks for playing.
And, here you are. Remember to get your parking ticket validated on your way out.
And then you walk out to the parking lot and determine they've towed your car. You can retrieve it from the tow yard for $1000. That's open.
There have been days since I quit my job and yanked my 401k out of the casino that I doubted myself for a moment, wondering if I did the right thing.
Today is not one of those days.
phuck
Exactly.
This is the end..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSUIQgEVDM4
Right after you shit them. That's when you cover them. Can't let anybody see that.
haha, that is the problem, it will open, if only just to close. When it does really open dont be surprised if it opens up from here on the news of a Fed Emergency Meeting. Why the PPT, didnt show up, one can only guess.
My guess is that they want to financially finish off China and Russia and pick up the pieces on the cheap.... Time will tell.
"When it does really open dont be surprised if it opens up from here on the news of a Fed Emergency Meeting."
I think that's exactly right. Now we get to see if Janet's got the chops for all hell breaking loose like Bernanke did. I'm betting not.
Funny...you write as though this is not entirely pre-planned by the ZioMafia, beginning in 1913. Everything's scripted, and Janet is just reading her lines.
Move along.
I don't know what everybody is getting excited about - You tourist have forgotten 2008, where we saw the Dow lose 1000 points and gain back 800 points within 90 seconds. Fawkin dummies - Nothing is left to fate when it comes to the perception of the US economy and the Corptocrasy that owns it.
Open only long enough for the fucking algos to take a steaming dump and jump back down the fibre pipe.
So much for the shemitah. Off by a whole month. Sounds like gartman
"When do I cover my shorts? "
YOU can't. YOU are being fucked.
YOU are a dirty short seller and YOU are not allowed to be right and win and get paid when you are right and win.
IF YOU were wrong or mis-timed or whatever YOU woulda got hosed anyway.
THIS is what people mean when they call it a 'rigged casino': the motherfuckers won't pay their losses.
Maybe be time to fill them...
On this day in Hx, Mt. Vesuvius erupts!
If you can swing that.....I'll be a believer.
Or the phlegrean fields go up. That'd be a nice touch to go with the financial carnage. A VEI7.
The emperor has no clothes
NopeNopeNopeNopeNopeNopeNopeNope
King Euro !
Can't go down if can't trade.
Always look on the bright side of life.
You can still sell your worthless relics. At this rate nobody will want them. Even APMEX has too many Silver boxes (total of 8 offerings in the Monster category, as of this am.)

When prepping goes mainstream....

FUUUUUCK MEEEEE!! EURNZD, WIPE THE FLOOR!
Surprised only two exclamation points were used with this post.
Today's uneducated traders...

I only buy silver and generally dont care much for stocks.....but does this happen a lot? never heard of it personally
Where is F***ing Bubbles Ben the “Hero” today? The man who is 100% responsible for every f***ing bubble, every market distortion, every economic problem in America. Myopic Ben and Janet “Print MOAR money!, We need QE 4,5 and 6 that will save us. Idiots! Maybe Donald will finally get rid of the Fed?? Doubtful.
So buy the dip right ?
Only the dips are buying...
Have you ever walked up to a Roullette table and placed $100 bill on black/red? If yes, they you may want to buy a SP500 call. I bet the PPT closes this even today.
DOW was down approx 1,000 points and now on the bounce.
This is going to be an epic struggle to keep the nose up and not stall the engines.
BTFD Tuesday or Wednesday morning (or however long it takes) after China is stable.
Because "Free markets"
Limit down is bad enough, but it will really get interesting when they close the banks. Can't wait really. The system is so disgustingly fucked it needs to burn to the ground.

Why is everybody panicking? CHINA IS CONTAINED!!!!

Ghost containers?
I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't open at all today.
Just close up shop until people "get their minds right" about which direction the market should move.
Friday there was a news flash on Ellen (I saw it on YouTube) that said markets would be closed Monday- today
This shit is planned.
Ellen Page, wow. I didn't know she was so deep into politics. Kind of weird since she is a Canadian. lol
Geronimo!
well that happened rather quickly...
All is well. There is no need for this pointless panic.
I am COMEX Silver.
Isn't that right COMEX gold? Hello...? Gold? Where the f*** did you go? Anyone seen COMEX gold?
Hi there COMEX Silver...COMEX Gold here. I'll be closing below 1140 today. Gold out.
Time to accept the very possible reality that the Federal Reserve money printing scam has been shut off . . . . . . . . permanently.
Where does that put stawks, PMs, commods, and other "assets"?
Get real.
"They have only just begun to sleight..."
Just the prudent thing to do. Banning shorts on a day like today would be even more prudent.
Let's all go commando to the market!
This is America.
The markets CAN'T be falling. Say it AIN'T so!!
little pink houses... for you and me
Turn those machines back on!
On Holiday!
Might as well party. Whiskey or Beer?
Glad I'm not in the Markets.
My position is I might be a buyer if the market goes down another 55%, but the problem then is telling which companies will survive. Stick to Dow Jones Industrials.
Glad I'm not in the Markets.
For those of us that have gray hair and remember 1999/2000, followed by 2001... 2008... you would have to be completely untethered in the mind to take the risks that were baked in following the bailout(s). 2009 - 2011 confirmed it.
Hope the "melt-up" fun was worth it for those that continued to play in the "sand box" cause freedom and protection doesn't come cheap at this point!
I did not get in after 2008. I did say to myself, "if I was in this, what would I buy?"
When TARP was being debated, CITI and the other credit catds were under a buck. A couple months after the bailout they were already at $5+. I did not do it because I knew I would be stealing bailout money.
At times it really is that easy.
GET TO WORK KEVIN!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
The Fed said last week that they were not in the business of propping up equity markets when the American people will not elect Clinton or Bush to further Wall Street's ambitions.
You're gonna have to open sometime motherfuckers!
All you're doing is funneling all the pressure into an even smaller space. When "the open" does come, you're fucked!!
But by tonight the Govt News service can put out CIA Narrative to change the context.
They will try.
But that is how we got into the War on Terrorism (13-14 years now)... and that is how we got here from 2007 with market intervention and no market reform.
The forces of Light need a TV Franchise to get the message out.
what investment advice is HRH Hillary giving? /sarc
She's consulting fellow carpet muncher Suzie Orman as we speak
Nothing is fucked??? THE GOD DAMN PLANE HAS CRASHED INTO THE MOUNTAIN!!!
In the words of CIA Scripted Bin Laden Tape: Wait Brother, be patient that was only one plane.
Lets just skip it all for today shall we?
This morning's closing bell was brought to you by Ameritrade...
S&P500 halted for first time before market open.
If we gapped up 1000 would they still halt trading?
shemitah boogeyman is here
RUN
LOLOLOL
WHY AREN'T METALS EXPLODING TO THE UPSIDE?
Gold in $AUD is closing in on all time highs - up $35 today alone.
selling to meet margin?

I still have some vietnamese currency in my bag from my last trip there. So this morning I pulled out my Dong and rubbed it like a lucky rabbi's foot. Now let's see some CNBS screen porn.
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!! *

Sitting on the sidelines, it's like watching Walt Disney throwing lemmings off a cliff.

can give it, but can't take it.
Oh I think they will take it all right...
To delay the inevitable is a bad idea. More QE coming. No rate hike. Markets will bounce on that news from Janet. The Fed is in band-aid mode.
Help me...I've fallen and I can't get up...

On Tuesday morning after the "Great Crash" of 1987, futures were halted for almost 3 hours; when trading resumed the newly formed "Plunge Protection Team" showed up and bid the shit right up the exchange walls. I know because I was there standing in the middle of it; get your facts right. Other than that, nothing stops panic better than trading limits; right? Emperor Goebbels could not be reached for comment.
