"Panic"
Investors are panic-buying stocks, panic-selling bonds, and panic-pumping-dumping-and-pumping crude this morning...
The machines are in charge...
What happens next?
With humans on the sidelines and algos in charge, this week with The Fed and quad witching should be 'eventful'.

Insanity!
Save the world, buy bitcoin
Volatility bitches.
<It's what's for dinner.>
I think they're in the machine equivalent of the vinegar strokes.
Get outta the way.
"Panic Greed" is such an odd combination of words, but it perfectly describes the selfish state of mind of our times.
Yes exactly. Like the "animal spirits" coming out in a dark shady gambling joint...
I love the acrid smell of panic in the morning.
lol. I'd say one of the worst reasons to buy bitcoin is to see anonymous bitcoin fans on ZH writing "Save the world, buy bitcoin"
QE IV $1.2 tr.
Your screen avatar should be a picture that is Alan Greenspan melting into Ben Bernake which then melts into Janet Yellen, then back into Greenspan to do it all over again.
You must be pessimistic. 4-5T is next.
Bitcoin: The official currency of the Darknet, aka Mos Eisley.
buy bitcoin, so every single transaction you make shall be indelibly recorded for time immemorial
With smartphones, GPS in cars, NSA bulk data collection, and bitcoin, who needs RFIDs?
Agree 'SOS'.
But please convert your Morse Code back to Roman.
hugh, I thought it was a Fukushima Smiley face,
you know radiation is good for you
and good for you too.
Not sure I can change my name.
Fukushima smiley face! lol
Pretty sure the ultimate goal of chipping people is to be able to control their thoughts and actions, not just monitor them. I got this info directly from Ann Droyd and Sy Borg.
So true.
It was probably a typo. It should say "Save the world, buy a certificate to minimize your CO2 footprint"
or "Save your ass, buy bitcoin"
Lol, you rather have a respectable person like Ben Bernanke tell you to buy dollars?
Hahahaha
Hahahaha????
We would choose neither my son...
Buy EURO
Everytime the markets mini-crashes and ten goes back to where it was, the eCONomy dies jsut a bit more. The economy is so disconnected to the "market" now that I would argue it dosen't matter how high the stocks go anymore.
You can always tell when an "investment" is of tulip bulb quality when suckers get on economic boards and constantly tout their "ground floor" investment.
Its MLM at its best! GO SUCKERS!
Oil-House Reach!
Did you serve in 9th psyop bn?
This is the PUMP to be followed by the DUMP.
I think so, too.
But this rollercoaster ride is taking its toll on me...
Indeed, but time can be a great commodity when needed...
+1. Agree.

At this point, it's all about the CHURN...
This just in from CNBC: Raymond James Chief Investment Strategist Jeffrey Saut said Tuesday that stock investors should get read for a "rip your face off-type rally."
read == ready...?
Does rally typically mean upward movement..?
ral·ly
1. To call together for a common purpose; assemble:
Yes. Lots of prices up at the same time.

Sadly you missed my point - thanks for playing though.

"Keep buying assholes!"
Do you stack them or load them on a stick?
Or maybe in a string or necklace?
Do you call them "dead ringers?"
Natural gas is notably crashing still
Inverse blowup
Its bank subsidiars trying to build more NG units in the PJM/MISO foot prints. The banks are crushing NG and saying "see you need more NG plants and we will build them", and once that is done, the price of NG will be >$3 causing everyone electric bills to be lollargagers large.
Buy all the things!
And sell all the other things!
nmewn, I need to write a script that automatically up votes you on any page I view. You're total LoLz or total thought provoking any time you post. I salute you!
The monkeys are back to flinging their shit again, wee!
They call that "Chimpin"
you sir, have a terrible avatar
taint not!
HYG is up about 2% right now. Selling bonds? What?
High Yield often acts more like stock than it does bonds.
Tomorrow down 300...feeling like the run up to 2008 with those 600 pt swings...Fed is in a box...lose face if DON'T tighten but really shouldn't with collapsing demand and market will punish them for doing it and draining even more liquidity while bludgeoning EM>..
A good BOHICA requires a lot of up and down movement.
And some in/out too.
You left a zero off of that number. Down 3000 tomorrow.
So I have dreamt it, so it should come to pass.
Ok, Mark. We will watch tomorrow. You will either be a hero or flame out like the rest of us have making predictions over the years.
I bet the market wil rally hard upwards tomorrow to inspire confidence with the FED. Those fuckers at the FEDERAL RESERVE have already planned on all the possible scenarios to keep the market propped up tomorrow.
this, as usual has been preordaned! now buy sheeple & prepare for the next fleecing er shearing!
Given the season, I don't think that the FED wil lhave to drain as much liquidity as everyone thinks initially. However, in the New Year, it will be a different story. I'm anticipating a drop in the frist two weeks of January.
2-4% round trip swings are completely rational now, absolutely normal, Mr.Dow is currently taking all his prescribed medications, so no worries.
(Whistling past the graveyard...lol)
with unlimited fiat paper & being unaudited, Fed can have this up 600 tomorrow if required. 3rd mandate! -save obunga & the demonrats
Stop with the partisan bullshit. As if Greenspan didn't act to save GWB and the GOP asshats last decade...
I for one welcome our algorithmic overlords...
^ smart
Hail Ants.
I think its time for the most "counter-intuitive" move out there (as far as TPTB are concerned -
BUY SILVER HAND OVER FIST!!!
"investors..." LMFAO!!! Please, words like this and others such as "collateral", "markets", and "value" no longer mean what you think they do (for anyone who has been around 30+ years).
It's a fucking club for insider fraud/skimming. For everyone else, it is a casino. Do not bet what you cannot afford to lose.
U mad bro?
Elon Musk:
"The People need to strike back at the Machines. I just read a bunch of Fred Herbert. We're in Danger! Hiterry is designing a robot to contain her brain!"
Hope it's better looking than the current one.
And this is what you're up against.
21 year ol millionaire trader. LMAO.
PRC: "Here are our Contracts, Yanquis. Gold or War."
Comex: "Uhh, you won't take cash? If you read the Prospectus..."
"This is my Makarov racking. Get my Gold."
Fed has to pump markets up in order to hike.
"Is there No Man in the Kingdom with Liquidity?"
"No, sire. Here come the French."
What makes you think the fed will not just continue buying stocks instead of bonds? If you think they are suddenly becoming free market capitalists you have not been watching the last few years ok decades.
All I know is that those sister fuckers over at NSM and FIG are shitting their diapers. NSM off 60% for the year and their owner, FIG, off 30% for the year.
NSM has so many seasoned criminal banksters on their board and in the company it was not hard to figure out that they were going nowhere.
As long as I am slinging crap...."free" market down 275 for the week. No biggie, buy the dip....shits.
Had to stick the entire contents of my drugs cabinet up my ass to trade this shit today.
TRON runs this shit
Can't find the article but China Daily showed yesterday that they have been fudging the GDP numbers for the last 3 years.
This one?

Too many to list in ten seconds of looking around.
Kudo's to China for comming clean. Now the FED & the Mafia GOV????
You can take this to the Chicom bank of your choice and deposit it.
They are not coming clean.
I can't imagine what it will be like when robots are running everything. Up Down, Up Down, Up Down.
To us it will look like a straight line.
Then tomorrow should be one helluva awesome day!
there is nothing more bullish for stawks than the first rate hike in 7 fucking years.
WHAT A MOTHER FUCKING JOKE!!
Glad I don't have a Ira or 401k to worry about
Just whether I default on the cheap credit before the crash or hold and service until after the crash.....
What's a serf to do....
I wish the 'roids that post 'Work from home and make thousands" horseshit would grow a pair, get a tin cup and sit their douchebag asses in front of a local Walgreens like all self-respecting BUMS do.
Is it possible for HFT machines to freak out and panic?
Harmonic resonance is my running hypothesis. The unnatural algo rhythms trading the system together may very well cause a collapse. I am taking a phenomenon from the physical world and applying it to this electronic one, but I don't see why it could not happen.
A superheterodyne market crash.
I love it!
Similar to high speed wobbles on a kids bike.
Thank Joe Hovah that the banking industry is showing improvement!
"As the U.S. banking industry continues to show improvement and the number of bank failures steadily declines, we remain focused on fulfilling the responsibilities of our mission while prudently managing costs," FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg said.
I've always wondered -- what exactly is "panic-buying"?
Never mind -- short covering, I wasn't thinking.
Infestors rule!
