With Stocks in Freefall, Nasdaq Breaks...

Tyler Durden's picture




 

They tried to slam VIX (and failed). JPY was sold (but failed). And Crude was temporarily ramped (but failed). So how do you stall a sell-off - BREAK THE MARKET AGAIN!!

 

 

Becuase if oine thing stops selling... it's stopping retail from trading entirely.

 

But will it work?

Notice how the problem, according to NASDAQ, is that orders can NOT be cancelled.  Translation is that HFT will not work, because they need to cancel orders for their scheme to work.

Geez, what would happen if we really found out how much Mr. Marky is worth.  That would be heart breaking to anyone that has any money.

It was fun while it lasted,though.

It's literally like clockwork now. I'll admit it started about 30 minutes early today, but it's close enough you can set your orders to it.

Would the market ever break if it moved up?  It seems like it only breaks on the way down.  How fucked up is that?

Not stopping it entirely, only cancel orders. New orders to buy will go through no problem.

Meanwhile, Hillary Rodman Clinton is pitching North Korean H-Bomb threat. Guess she thinks her voter base won't remember the 2010 visit.

THE United States's next spy chief has warned of the danger of future military attack by North Korea.

The warning came as Washington the United States announced new sanctions against the nuclear-armed dictatorship.

The sanctions were set out by Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, during a visit to Seoul intended to underline US military support after the sinking of a South Korea naval ship, blamed by both governments on a North Korean torpedo attack.

Ms Clinton's announcement will be followed next week by joint US-South Korean naval exercises that have been denounced as provocative by North Korea and its closest supporter, China.

Ms Clinton said the sanctions, which include further restrictions on banking transactions, the sale of arms and luxury goods, and a travel ban on blacklisted individuals, were aimed not at ordinary North Koreans, but at the Government of their leader Kim Jong Il.

Don't gamble with what you cannot affrod to lose. It has in fact been gambling for quite a while folks. Call it what it is.

Some things might be consistent, we'll see.

Is it 3:30 yet?
