Market Volume Snapshot During The Quake
Who knew: all it takes to get some semblance of volume in the market is for a quake shaking the entire Eastern seaboard and pervasive evacuations of New York skyscrapers (incidentally, the NYMEX was evacuated).

GOLD Rocket Will Shake The World ...
actually mr earthquake just sent PM's to the shitter...makes sense to sell your gold and silver and buy NFLX....this world needs to burn in a big ball of piss and shit in order to kill all the parasites in it.
That sounds rather unpleasant. How about just 200k pink slips in the financial services industry?
How about let them get paid 100% in bank stocks with 4 year vesting period to make them work insane hours living in squalor in Jew York shitty, then in 2-3 years let the banks go bankrupted. Start with the top execs.
Worse than ending their misery with a pink slip is to continue it.
Haarpflation lil bitchez.
Here is the prediction ROFL....

get ready for some local FuckYouShima:
Virginia Power Plant Loses Power After Quake http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405311190346130457652664240008545...
They left the servers UNATTENDED?

I Wonder wonder who is watching the nuclear reactor under the White House if the evacuated?
Some poor, TS-cleared building custodian with a wife and 2 kids.
Just long enough for Blythe & Co. to send gold by 4%. You gotta hand it to the woman to man the bridge while every one else abandoned ship.
That was just Skynet awakening.
The dead rising yet there? Come on zombie apocalypse!
Sadly the walking dead already populate DC. Or at least the halls of power. I was hoping the earthquake would get that liquefaction thingy going and the entire stinking mess would be swallowed by the swamp it was built on.
<sigh> Dream on CD.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_liquefaction
Yeah, but minus the actual craving for human flesh, the walking dead there are boring.
I was really hoping for flesh eaters on the streets of NY, NY. Talk about great TV!
Oops...upping the ante...nuke plants shutting down...and we all know that radiation quite possibly animates the walking dead. Come on zombie apocalypse!
The DC lobbyist's eat human flesh. Since there is......what...... around 20,000 of them, what more do you want?
Criminal syndicate Wall Street bankers being eaten alive in the streets. I'm not really asking for all that much.
Your request seems totally reasonable to me.
Margin Call - The Movie coming fall of 2011. That's just around the earthquake shattered corner.

Cdad, did you hit the bourbon a bit early today?
Brother engineer,
Nope...this is Cdad in normal mode...and I drink martinis, thank you.
You'll know it is happy hour here when I start cussing out all the new Hong Kong based ZH clutter monkeys.
Ah, a fellow martini drinker. Given the times, I salute you for upholding one of the last bastions of civilization.
Oooh, I'd forgotten all about that combination, given the lack of seismic activity there. The dandelions may have some help overtaking the place after all.
Looks like an earthquake to me, only on a fancy bloomberg terminal.
The algos are programmed to dump on seismic disturbances.
its in the HFT manual page 666
feel ground shaking? - sell ES
pissy little americans getting all worked up over a little 5.8 EQ. It's because they hate our freedoms. I wonder who you'll invade for this one?
WTF are you muttering about? How did a rejected Yahoo! Finance poster get in here?
Isn't this where they all come to troll?
"pissy little americans"
get out much? If not, I recommend an American football game. You should wear that little gem on your chest. It will be life changing.
No seriously, check out every fucking blogsite to see pages upon pages of earthquake discussion and hysteria. It's as if a 9.0 hit and the survivors are in a group hug... cue MSM interviews of people sobbing on TV wailing how terrified they were. Typical overreacting americans playing the victim.
Careful or we will invade you. Have any oil?
I'm confused. Does that overreacting and playing the victim still count if the folks are illegal immigrants?
No, it's not as if a 9.0 hit. I'd say you're the one overreacting here.
At least now the enonomists can blame the great Virginia Earthquake of 2011 for bad economic data.
At least no one innocent will perish.
I hope the whole f'n easter seaboard plunges suddenly into the Atlantic.
Every has dream like that.
Me for example: I hope global warming happens real fast. If the sea level risses 3 to 4 meters, my house will very close to the sea, meaning my real estate value would go up BIG TIME. And also the Holland people would try to relocate so that should also make my real estate rise in price.
Yeah... still dreams....
I'd better burn a bit more platic in my back yard and let my car run stationairy this evening to support the rising water levels...
SD: The man who saw the future
I will support you by switching on all of the remaining decandescent lightbulbs in my house - since Germany switched off most nuclear powerplants, it comes from yummie co2 producing ones.
Thank you.
I'm in VA south of Richmond, that was a big quake.
Alexandria, Virginia here... Rubberbanded our building.
Ready to hear how the libertarians were to blame and the ass kissers to praise them for their "honesty"
Tea Party caused it.
Good for them!
now you know why they call it jellystone park. hope you pic-a-nic baskets are safe
This site rocks! No place else has such up to date information. I tried Googling first and only got some clerk's personal experience on the screen. Nada from the MSM. I guess they're busy evacuating all the buildings. Zerohedge has the most acurate and most up to date info anywhere.
Early happy hour for me...my highrise was shaking. Layta bitchez!
Ok let me do a shot, i bet it's the BoFa balance sheet being offloaded into the bedrock amirite thusfar ? How goes their Balance sheet equasion again ?
Rightside: Nothing Left ?! and Left side: Nothing Right.
We now return you to your normally scheduled ramp job.
And we resume the "rally" :))))! Can't help it but smile while I keep shorting! :)))
Markets are always bullish after they "survive" an earthquake.
And always bullish leading up to earthquakes too. But not so bullish after the Jackson Hole quake Friday.
Solar winds predicted for Aug 22-24th.
The MSM says tremors where the prez is vacationing. I hope he is alright. God forbid something happened to someone so irreplacable.
I'm sorry yall....I had stuffed green peppers last night and Lordy Lord....this grrl's been dropping bombs all morning....

Looks like a buying opportunity the way stocks are trading. Maybe eliminating 1/2 of the popuilation in the Eastern Us is a good thing.
Irene Cain first meets Dirk Quake in a softly lit bar in Georgetown...followed by a 24 hour shreaking orgasm of violence and destruction....until the spent lovers toss the cum and oil soaked sheets on Wall Street....to burn the rest down to the granite.
A grrl can dream....
You are vile. Maybe you should post on an X rated site. Not here.
Rick Santorum??
Is that you honey buns??
You sure do know how to make a grrl's starfish tingle....
the nymex was NOT evacuated. they didn't even say anyhting on the loudspeaker.
You would have heard it if that dick wasn't in your mouth.
PPT to the rescue.
Aftershocks from Marcellus Shale fracking?...same thing has been happening in AR this yr.
Sure shook out gold. Geez, make the bleeding stop!
Bush did it.
BTFD
Gold got a nice kneejerk reaction.
Gold got hit by an aftershock.
only in america would an earthquake cause the markets to go up even more.
Well, it's been bullish for Japan. Or was that from the Tsunami? Or the triple melt-down?
the HFTs hard drives seized up from the vibrations.
let the melt up resume now.
Experienced a small but fierce jolt here too yesterday. Mentioned it to the locals over a red stripe beer. Fairly normal here (non descipt caribbean island)
Eastern seaboard moving is out of the ordinairy though.
Got those nuke plants secured up yet? Perhaps the President could find some time to adress that issue inbetween the 6th and 7th hole?
No biggie, equity Shangri La back at day high. Earth quakes are bullish, remember. Good ol' Jimbo himself told us so few months back.
god says more from where that came from.huh huh. mark twain has moved to ky.look up his quote
F this Netflix up $13 really??? and people don't believe there is direct Fed buyijg of stocks.
It is pretty incredible that a select list of stocks like Priceline, Netflix, Hansen all go up by just them same percentage and down by the same on every rally and every selloff.
What correlation can there be between selling travel and some crappy canned soda. Without any real news about a business can its stock go up 10% in one day like LULU.
Oh yeah 10% moe people need yoga pants after shitting them during the Earthquake.
Whatever program gets turned on to buy during bad news days really works out well if you are a day trader catching the wave.
Yoga pants, the new 'lycra spandex' wear for lazy fat chicks.
america has no shortage of fat people with bad taste
That's why Chinese restaurants do so well in America. Oily fried junk served cheap.
There does seem to be a correlation between the FED buying and Nflx, cmg, crm, lulu, amzn, aapl, etc., going up. But, especially Nflx. Does Bernakde have these stocks in his portfolio?
North Anna nuclear power station in central Virginia did an auto shut-down and is now relying on 4 diesel backup generators for cooling its reactor, so that means... time to buy more NFLX.
Machines have a Big Time trading 10 share blocks of stock back and forth with one another to ramp the market now that everyone has taken this opportunity to go home.
The market soars on all this and after all the economic stuff today? It shows how truly and utterly broken this is
take advantage of the short opportunity
It is f**** lala-land. We did not have a disaster, therefore we rally.
Who cares? I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night!
gunsmoke is right, everyone's gone home for the day
First damage reports coming in.

Will a bigger earthquake causing damage to a nuke built on a fault line be blamed for destroying the "fragile recovery" and be used as the excuse we must have QE3+++ plus size?
Earthquakes and nukes shutting down are bullish, Right, I get confused sometimes.
Get rid of people with earthquake = no human life forms = HFT meltup on miniscule volume
Solution to the ChairSatan's problem with any need for QEasy money = ban people from trading = RUT to infinity and beyond
Yes, why not a Matrix-like world where machines make all the calls? The Chair would be thrilled.
double post
This has to be the most obvious example of 'buy the rumor, sell the news' in recent memory.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You buy the dip - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You sell the rally - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
HEheh. Well done!
Has Bernanke's name all over the Rally. Only Bernanke would ramp the Market on a Major Earth Quake on the East Coast. With Major Nuclear Plants shutting down or going to back up. Everyone evacuating tall buildings. Air Ports closed.
Thankfully, none of the wine or spirits here were damaged in the Great Quake of 2011 and I have called for a happy hour devoted to thanking our Maker for sparing us the troubles suffered by so many in the wake of this precipitous and "unexpected" displacement movement of continental shelves, such as momentarily delayed access to cell service. The horror, the horror. . . . .
