With China's Markets Closed For 2 Days, The "National Team" Comes To America

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Following China's adoption of Nasdaq surveillance technology (to catch those malicious sellers), it appears 'Murica decided to borrow The National Team for the last 30 minutes of the day today.

We need stock higher, so dump VIX, ramp AAPL, and all is well.

 

As AAPL vol was crushed: a 5 vol crash in the last 30 minutes!

 

... all to get The Nasdaq Green for 2015:

 

Open, daily manipulation - it's not only for the Chinese.

Are they planning on blowing up one of our major ports while they're here, too?

The Port of New York and New Jersey is kind of a shithole.  It could really use the "cleansing blast" that only a couple hundred tons of improperly packaged and shoddily-handled Chinese thermite and fireworks can provide.

If you watched the AAPL move, it was so fake and contrived, it was being sold on strength all afternoon, then suddenly, boom, screaming higher on zip volume. Janet enjoyed that one.

No. No. No. The sharp rise was all do to the strong fundamentals of AAPL.

So what's the play?  Prop up the markets to justify a rate increase in two weeks?  Are we about to see a deliberate implosion this month?

 First they'd have to find and then bribe some corrupt Port Authorities to look the other way. What a monumental task that would be.

I would have to laugh if they dumped UST like crazy next week and then hit the trenches for cover. 

Poseidon is on a mission.... about to turn it up to eleven.

Pretty simple - derivatives drive the market. September expiration huge for options and they HAVE to get the COMP back to 5000 and therefore NDX to 4500 to offset their books. Time to exterminate VIX after selling calls and puts at a huge premium for a month

Apple was bailed out last week by Jim Cramer/Tim Cook.  How many times does Apple need to be bailed out as far as disinformation disguised by/as a 'leak"?  More than a TBTF or Primary Dealer, for example?

I knew that since China was closed the next two days, we would rally rally rally the rest of the week so murica can blame the chinks for the us market crash.

China made a 1.3% change in the value of the RMB vs. the USD and America blames all their financial problems on it.

Perhaps America is behind the Chinese factory blow ups. If so the war ships off Alaska may be up to more than you might think....
