BAC Triggers Avalanche Of $7.00 Stop Loss Sell Orders

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Is that H2SO4 that Warren is pouring for his next deeply introspective bath? Or will he double down and throw good money after bad money that was good as recently as 2 weeks ago (and according to Cramer was supposed to trigger a "massive short covering squeeze in the XLF.")

No, it is an issue with US code, and ownership interest under UCC codes 3 and 9. It is going to affect every state because it is the fed law that the states must comply with or have reasons why they do not that are acceptable to the US. This is an application of law that means the courts aren't buying the banks word for it any more. The decision literally let every attorney know how to defeat MERS.

Sorry, that was me.

I've been intentionally losing billions for months now trying to counter all of the currency printing.  For the little people.

Guess I'll try trillions now.

Means dollar donominated assets are getting settled.  And oddly the person with the highest currency value in the end is the loser. Because you got liquidated the most. This is what people don't understand. They don't call it a race to the bottom for nothing. Pound is rising like crazy because briitsh businesses are cratering like crazy.

The note in the NY Times this morning that the Fannie Freddie Settlement for no monetary damages is the real tell on the banking system. Given their fear that the banks, as our hedge fund is positioned on the short side of all of the major money center commercial and investment banks, will be broke by any sort of monetary charges, it is no wonder the dow is down 325 points as of now. Fair Market Value remains 1400 on the dow.

Buffet knew this would likely happen.  He could give a shiite about the 5 bil--like Obama he thinks he's the messianic savior of the country.  Only gave BAC the injection as a patriotic gesture to inspire confidence.  Heart in the right place I think, but it's wrongheaded of him to help perpetuate the myth of a healthy market.  He needs to come out and say "you should only be buying here if like me you can afford to get through a potential complete collapse before making your money back or, like me, you'll likely croak in a year anyway so it doesn't matter...."

OT, but in other news, The Bernank is blaming consumers for the shitty economy (from the truly WTF files):

WASHINGTON —Ben S. Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, offered a new twist on a familiar subject Thursday, revisiting the question of why growth continues to fall short of hopes and expectations:

Fed Chief Describes Consumers as Too Bleak

 

You really can't make this shit up. It's...just not.....possible.

I wonder if The Bernank has a working theory of econometric model hazarding a guess as to why consumers are "bleak"? Maybe he could plug 18.7% U6 unemployment, depression level housing values and record number of underwater mortgages, trillions of taxpayer extracted monies literally given to Wall Street/Banks, 20% to 50% household wealth destruction, 11% rate of real inflation, surging tax/permit/license fees and rates that are growing like crazy, prolific government deficits and a growing national debt, crashing currencies, etc. etc. into a model and come up with a theory.

Buffet in Oct. 2010   "Forget gold, buy equities". 

Gold has gone from $1350 to $1800 and the DOW has gone from 11,000 to 10,968 over the same time period.

Buffet sold his silver at $7 or $8 ?? ....  what is it today, $42 ish?  (LOL.)

Follow Buffett at your own risk.  

 Just because an individual might have been fortunate to become wealthy DOES NOT make them wise or even exceptional.  As Warren clearly demonstrates.

BAC Triggers Avalanche Of $7.00 Stop Loss Sell Orders

It sure looks like someone was standing ready to take them out and keep up appearances with a seven handle on the stock too. Hmm, I wonder who has the capital to play that game?  I bet it wasn’t any of those 40,000 BAC employees who now see an axe hanging over their head. And, how many owners of BAC stock are really any less of a pawn in this game than they are?

noticed that, too. A brief dalliance lower to 6.96, but the bids showing (HFT?, special BAC algos?) always seemed to outnumber the asks, especially in the 6.98-7.02 range and lo and behold, it closes at 7. It's 4 o'clock and all's well.

The price action in BAC is fucking rigged.  There is an endless bid at $7 exactly and it bounces off of it up to 7.009 or 7.015 then back to $7 and back up.  Bullshit

slewie the pi-rat's picture

hey LRC_fan!

"there are no more markets, only interventions"

that said, the price will continue to act this way until the market maker in BAC (poor guy/gal?) moves the "bid-ask spread" due to a "preponderance or 'imbalance' " of higher bids or lower asks (buy or sell orders outside the spread)

without such 'imbalance of orders', BAC tends to trade in a pretty narrow spread, 15 cents, as you report, here

most of the 'volume', here, is pretty much just hi freeks picking up pennies and nickels in front of a steam roller, or in BAC's case, maybe a roller-coaster, buying from the sellers and selling to the buyers, w/in the "spread"

I wonder when we are going to have the day of capitulationand stocks go to about zero. t that moment the game is up and there is no longer a stock market to invest in. Even people in the know have to realize the market is a farce, but they keep playing becuase it is all they know. They aren't even qualified to be burger flippers so they keep pumping stocks to delay the inevitable. The day they come knocking on Main Street's door.

So, this being the second time since the triple B (Buffett/BAC/Bathtub) deal that BAC stock is bouncing off of $7 like a dead cat, it’s starting to look like someone may have handed us all a free put option on BAC shares. Great. You can go sell the Oct expiration put with a $7 strike right now for $.79, giving you a 96% annualized return on your capital at risk. Or, if you’re a little more conservative, sell the $6 strikes for a 60% return, or the $5 strikes for a 40% return. It’s definitely looking like Paulson was on to something when he sold those puts with a $4 strike last month (I’m guessing it was him). We’re comin’ to get you Daddy Warren Warbucks.

This sure ain't 2008... yet looking at BAC headlines and charts today...it sure feels like it did before Lehman failed....

Why would they shred 40k workers?  Countrywide's toxic mortgages are still hidden somwhere in that balance sheet.  Why won't they break up ML and US Trust from Retail?  The supermarket banking model is a utter failure.  Unless of course, you've been shorting since $30/share.

And, why would anyone (or institution) have a securities account at BoA right now?  LOL!  People are actually paying BoA to hold their Treasuries that are practically yielding negative in real terms...

Is there some sort of dictate that the BAC shall never stay lower than 7.00?  I've been short since the 14's but, other than one quick dive to the low 6's, it seems like it never goes below for 7 for long.  Time to close out the position before a bail out sends it back to 14?  I know it would go to zero in a free market but... LOL... we don't have that.

" Warren is pouring for his next deeply introspective bath?"

Not to Worry. Uncle Buffet has a plan to deal with Banker implosion.

Back in 1985, There was a Benefit Concert called "Live Aid" to provide relief aid for Starving Africa.

In 2012 Warren plans his own Benefit Concert called "Banker Aid". There will be a featured song called "We are the World!" sung by all of the Bank Execs!

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
Bankers are poor people
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to the bankers
The greatest gift of all!

We can't go on pretending day by day
That some central banks is coming to thier rescue
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth
You know, money is all they need

We are the world, we are the bankers
We are the ones who make a banker's day
So let's start giving

There's a choice we're making
We're saving bankers' lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and your money

Well, send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be richer and care free
As Bernanke has shown us by turning paper into money
And so we all must lend a helping hand!
