VIX-Selling Scramble, Crude-Buying Panic Sends S&P Green For 2015 (For Now)

Tyler Durden's picture




 

USDJPY tried and flailed... and so the machines shifted their momentum ignition efforts to crude - ramping WTI back up to post-API inventory build levels...

Bwuahahaha... up 4.5% from the lows - (being blamed on Iran's Rouhani's comments which perhaps enable Obama to reinstate sanctions but that is ridiculous given the world's record glut and maxxed out storage levels).

 

It's a miracle...

* * *

* * *

And sure enough... following a post-EU-Close short squeeze...

 

It happened...

 

Mission Accomplished.

Dick Cheney still needs a robot sex doll that looks like Donald Trump.

Darth Cheney must have needed to upgrade his George Bush-autobot-doll, especially now with all the sub-prime auto-loans, any one with a pulse can qualify, even if it depends on a pacemaker.

cant fight it.  The fucking rigged market is going to finish in the green at the end of the day.  The powers at the FED will not let the year end in the red.  Wait for that 3:30 pm ramp in the market to close out green.

the plan is to get the ES up enough today so that the 3:30p selloff leaves it green for the year.

Can't you grow out of that adolescent cycle and get with the times. I mean, really, what's next? A Palin insult? Why not just blame this farce of a market on W?

If by chess pieces, you mean not having us disarmed, you are correct.  If you mean they live outside of flyover country, where a lot of their food is produced, you are also correct.  If you mean that they haven't figured out how to violate the laws of physics yet, you are, yet again, correct.

Can't you guys see that this is just supply and demand fundamentals at work?

CNBC "explains": "Oil up 2%; North Sea storm, Iran tension lend support"

See? It's all perfectly normal.

Oh and Happy New Year everybody. Be careful with those fireworks.

the writers on this website are not contrary... more like contrary school girls... everything time the market does something they don't like, they cry foul... and every time there's some huge collapse they gloat that the end of the world is coming...

there's a difference between being a cryptic w@nker that understands nothing of the market action, and a real contrarian that reads into what the mainstream and the exageratted price action is doing...

oil has been down since more than 1 year ago... it's called a short squeeze... that's all it is.... and thank god for short covering because the entire global economics was hanging on oil not collapsing... it still might but not until idiots trying to go short into mainstream thinking get roasted...

 

happy new year ! life goes on and the baby eating illuminati elite don't really control every tick in the market place.... it's just nature...

Does anyone know how dividends affect the s and p?  If we closed at 2058 last December how are 2015 dividends accounted for in the comparison to where we are now???

They don't factor into the number representing the index.  If SPX closes at 2058.9 (flat for the year), the owner of SPX would have a 2.2% gain from the dividend.  It's the difference between "price" and "total return."

Have gotten much better at this charting thing ove rthe past month.  Once a person can finds the numbers it needs to close at, they can know the next day move.

TOO FUCKING FUNNY.

 

U KNEW THESE BASTARDS WERE GOING TO DO ANYTHING IN THERE POWER TO ENSURE WE CLOSE NO LOWER THAN 2058, AND SURE ENOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ACHIEVED THERE GOAL.

 

I AM SURE CNBC WILL PASS THIS OFF AS ''INVESTORS'' CAME INTO BUY THIS DIP, BC AS WE ALL KNOW, ''INVESTORS'' ARE PROB SITTING AROUND ON NEW YEARS EVE WAITING TO BUY A FUCKING DIP.

 

FUCKING FARCE

The daily chart from 10:30 til now is going up at a 45* angle..... WTF?  REALLY?  

That is the problem with a nation that can print it's own wealth!  They can and do WHATEVER it takes to remain in power ON YOUR DIME!  

This is not going to end well!

I want to buy SWHC and RGR

But they are near 52 week highs (I never buy the highs no fuucking matter what), the options are over-priced, and, it could be a "sell the news" event next week if the Obama Gun Control measures are weak.

How can this be played while managing risk? Any ammo manufacturers? Do Bass Pro and Cabelas go up too by proxy?

Anyone watching this segment?
