QE3 Levitation Day 3... Brings the DJIA To Positive For The Year, In Comic Contrast With The Rest Of The World
And so it continues, as it was outlined yesterday, and the day before. There is little to add here: 50 ES points in three days on substantially below average volume (red area chart), robots gunning for VWAP, and nothing but hollow expectations for QE3 despite the clear quandary for the Fed that absent a clear deflationary threat, read a plunge in stocks, it will be very difficult for Bernanke to sell easing to the dissenting votes. The important thing: unlike every other relevant market in the world (Belarus may be a notable exception), the DJIA is now green for the year. In the meantime bonds continue to ignore the whole move in stocks. Of course, if this is just a career protection rally for the end of the month, the reconnection of stocks with gravity tomorrow will be painful. Alternatively, gravity will be even more painful if the Fed does end up disappointing on September 21, which it may have no choice but to do if stocks price all of it in by then.
And an even more amusing relative volume chart: the entire 100 point ES move since the lows has been on below average volume.
And here, once again, is why America is number one... in market manipulation.

I got Queen's "it's a kind of magic" in my head now!
Hidden Camera catches footage of Bernanke and Geithner discussing QE3!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypjAvUMampc
very clever of them... gotta make sure that the market buys it.
The phrase "stuck on stupid" jumped into my mind upon seeing the charts.
I'd be rater partial to ELO's "Strange Magic" myself.
thats a 56 point divergence for ES? only question is what day will be the 50 point gap down...trapping all newbie bulls?
Peter Schiff was right about the rest of the world decoupling from the US. He was wrong about which way the respective markets would head
shorting is a moral hazard
stay long my friends
Stay out of the casino
Can someone please explain the divergence between physical and GLD today? Thanks, in advance.
gld ticker reset is at 4pm. gold comex reset is at 1:30 pm. there is no real divergence. mot yet anyway.
Well, i have to say IBEX is fighting the spanish reality pretty well too...
Bears seem to get shafted every day, because TPTB drives stocks down intraday to keep hope alive.
Lots of guys I know are still clutching TZA, FAZ, etc. sitting on big losses, praying for a steep drop so they can get out.
I know one guy who shorted 1,000 shares of JPM on the big breakdown at $34, he's screaming bloody murder right now.
10 put options at 34$? That's only about a 300$ loss.... your friend is high roller he?
These two share a cot at the local mission.
I'm LMAO, Robo just does not get it!
Let me help you revise that first sentence..."because sellers take profits and TPTB drives stocks up intraday to keep hope alive"...much better now.
Like John Paulson you mean?
Glad I don't know RobotTrader, he laughs at others misery and degrades women. wow, 1,000 shares, LOL!
Short 1000 shares? He only lost 3.5K, it's SO nothing! On the other hand, if the market did tank, JPM could be a 15$ stock.
Pfft, some crowd you hang with, big rollers lol. 1k shares? He'll be in the money soon enough.
here's some Bear Food
but is it a bear trap?

Dear Robo, That's what the Elitist Owners of the HFTs do. They monitor the record short level and say, let's steal their money. A privledge that special software allows them to do. They see all orders and shorts as dollar signs.
With no volume, it is nothing less than a rigged, dishonest market.
Did you notice how they did manage to get rid of some of their own supply in the afternoon.
What's a shame is they are scaring off real investors forever.
Robot, you must be one of the few making coins trading among ZH bloggers
Ras Bongo, back in the kitchen please, Robo needs his dinner cooked for him.
This whole process is hilarious.
Good news = Good news = Market goes up
Bad news = QE 3 = False Good News = Market goes up
Maybe I'm one of the few people grounded with reality seeing that QE3 will just inflate everything again, but in the short term (because I've got a lot of shorts out there) I've been taking a beating. I have no clue what's pushing the markets these days.
Good news = Bad news
always been the way depending on your perspective
that's right.
we have a 3 day weekend coming up also. there will be some government magic going into the weekend. here's what The Wag The Dog House has to choose from:
Since you mentioned them...
Id be in there buying too for the easy buck on the QE inflate. Only problem is there's no real hint of it. There's talk that it might come next month, but no real hints of anything. Ben has been very obvious when it comes to this shit, he's holding back. Seems he's passing to Obama for his job shit.
Qe3 will happen, but it ain't going down with the markets up for the year even as we enter recession. I doubt the fed chiefs even notice anything other than the ES anymore.
AAHHHHH!!! PIPEDREAMS!!! I LOVE EM!
Wait til they take BAC, GE and CSCO out of the Dow and add AAPL, LULU and CMG... my target: 25,000
Any thoughts on how the rats get out this trap they created with thier own catch 22?
If tomorrow does not close red, then the "Robo-trader Revenge Rally" (RRR) will have stepped into second gear.
Three words: NOMINAL ... REAL ... GOLD
Tyler, the rest of the world will catch up quick like always.
Crazy tape no doubt. I remember getting singed on those huge bear market rallies in 2001 - 2002 by holding shorts too long.
Proof that faster money is made in bear markets by trading on the long side, jumping in on oversold conditions.
And the bear market rallies always last longer than most expect, sometimes up to 6 weeks.
Don't lead people into a Bear Trap. It's too late to jump in now. If your that experienced you know I'm right.
I like to read the news letters of Louis Yamada. Her advise is to sit on the sidelines until it crashes.
And by the way, she is always right and she says it will crash after they drain all the hot money out.
She also likes Gold after it corrects. Probably when the HFT owners crash the whole market.
YAAAAY!!!!
I LOVE Magic!
Do another trick please!
"market" = Kids can bounce on the bed all day long but big fat fannie can't.
Now that Part I of the trillion$ fiscal stimulus package seems fully assured (mortgage refi) (as I been predicting here for 2 weeks), we will soon hear about the rest of it:
Big jobs package, more business tax breaks (extending the payroll holiday and cutting social security contributions), more extension of expanded unemployment payments, and infrastructure bill. And you'll hear it's all "budget neutral" (!)
Meanwhile the Fed will maintain its current stealth QE (ZIRP, QE lite and as Krasting pointed out, MBS turnover due to the refi stimulus). But no QE3. That would be suicidal.
market is being moved by what central planning may or may not do - good luck with that
I know they're working on antigravity out at Area 51. market acts like they discovered it...

Apart from the 3 banks in CA, and one in CO, it seems like the banks favored were more midwestern and easterly located. What's the deal with that?
Just under 1,000 points on the Dow since the 22nd of August (low to high).
All I do (as,indeed, TD is doing) is reiterate that Bernake WILL NOT, CANNOT, QE3 unless there is a reason to do so, and that does not occur at these current levels. Disappointment is coming somewhere, soon.
Hmmm.
DavidC
Correct.
The fed is clearly not showing any public concern over the data sets being dog shit. They claim it will all turn around. Fine, don't cause panic, whatever.
must watch

When's the next big treasury sale? Need to herd the rubes back into bonds with a nice market crash.
Maybe the will go into gold this time...
Tyler and all readership,
I share cynicism with the charade put on by 'Ba Ba Ba Benny and the Fed' and related bankster mafia.
The Jackson Hole thing was carefully choreographed and plans laid how to have Fed-sters sound bite through this week via CNBC and the WSJ, together with the UAE propping investment news release re Greek bank investment.
I am guessing that there is a concerted effort to squeeze shorts, in hoping to break their investment momentum. Unlike Europe who just bans it, our boys on this side of the Atlantic use clever charades and tactics via the Wall Street and Fed media mechanisms. Damn, how's that for being cynical?
Somehow those algos were in on this during key trading areas like you pointed out. Regardless, sure looks like a DEAD CAT BOUNCE to me.
Thank God for gold and let's not forget our silver. Note to readers, just keep buying physical little by little.
mistysnodgrass Misty SnodgrassThe only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text. 7 minutes ago
Autozone hit a new all time high for no reason. Chipotle is within spitting distance as well.
For the life of me I can't figure out Hanssen. If you put $10k in HANS in 2005 you would have been up $14 million in 2007 then lost $10 million of that in 2008 ad then made it back to $15 million today.
$10k to $15 million in five years. That kind of BS is what the likes of Cramer use to tell people that everyone should be in stocks. Tht the wealth generation of the stock market is unprecedented. They always cite the amazing growth potential of tese ridiculous corporation as the justification for the insane moves. Problem is the type of growth that could justify doesn't exist.
It took Under Armour 10 years and getting into 3700 doors to hit $1 billion in sales but somehow Lulu based on market cap should be selling three times the ammount of product out of 120 stores. It ain't happening folks. But keep the fantasy going or Cramer won't have a job.
Consumer growth stocks have been huge wealth builders last last 2 1/2 years.
Anyone who loaded big at the 2009 lows is now retired.
Peteybear over at WSB chat said he loaded huge and sold early, left $5 million on the table by not holding through April 2011.
"Anyone who loaded big at the 2009 lows is now retired."
How about the people who loaded up big on a basket of stocks that emulate the S&P 500 on July 10, 2000 when the S&P 500 index closed at 1,509.98 for the day... That is one helluva return over the past 11+ years, isn't it?
Robo, do you think any participant of this board actually BELIEVES anything you say about your stock picks? You are indeed fortunate that ZH refuses to install an ignore button. Otherwise, you would pretty much disappear.
Don't fight it, just buy the dips in the last hour of trading, bitchez.
What ever THEY wan tot do it will have to pass BOTH SIDES of THE AISLE and that my fellow ZHers I JUST DON"T SEEE! Too much money to ask for without ANY "solid" reason other then BAC is going down or ROBOs friend lost on his JPM short:))! The next 2 weeks will be critical for ALL shorts out there, it is the time when Odumber and Gang needs to make a move or else...Primaries are just around the corner and are a classic in early "indications" as to who will take the WH next year so...better get this sucker downnnn enough to scare the shit out of both dumbfuckers in DC, Dems and Reps alike need to shit in their pants on the propects of losing their "jobs", that will be the time to announce QEwhatever and it will be INTRADY as in Benster gets the call "do it and do it now" we'll "approve" it later! So Robo's JPM shorting friend might still have a realistic chance! Anything else is "speculation" for "salvation" and we all know what happened to that!
My take is lose the shorts once in the green but how much ever and get long cause you might not get the chance once Da Benster gets the CALL!
Kind of off the topic, but it had to be shared:

This does not make any sense. Why is the market up..just today Roubini was taking credit for the sell off proclaiming on Twitter, "Market pares gains after I predict recession".
Cripes Nouriel..welcome to the planet..we have been stating we are in an ongoing depression disguised by money printing and digital food stamps from EBT. I am glad you are in favor however of 2 more years of stealing half a trillion dollars from savers via 0% interest rates in order to mask it further and a futile attempt to inflate away our debt. If there is no volume it is not real. Whenever the punchbowl is taken away we will have a market collapse which is why the Fed is locked into perpetual printing and exactly why gold and silver will continue much higher. Math does not lie nor does it have any emotions..if they print they dilute the paper of USD and real money goes higher.
Meanwhile bonds are so disconnected from the stock market it proves only 1 thing which is all of these prices are FALSE. The bond market is telling us we are in a second depression. HFTS ping ponging prices higher does not do anything but allow for bided time for the MSM to continue the lie.
Don't ya love it? Our Free market?

Trade #9 out of 11 coming along VERY NICELEY, for those of you who understand.....
close of books end mth, looked very crappy to me. The meltup was another bulltrap, it's a players market till the super rally...that will never come.
Sept should be brutal, hopefully. The market is running on nothing.
they have to get the market out for the year with at least a 3% gain, or risk the riducule of the bond market. equity risk is on a parity with stock risk, or what is a Bernanke for? returns will best the yield on the ten year, Maria can sing about the Santa Claus rally, and these guys make their bonuses. if they dont' something is seriously wrong.
inside tip, if the market drops a couple percent from here buy it, for 5% return end of the year.
Cheap Jordans just go out there and pitch and not think about Air Jordan Shoes anything else, he said. That makes it a lot easier on me. I dont have to worry about the other circumstances and just Air Jordan go out and focus on every pitch I throw. Rodriguez, who jammed the thumb fielding a ground ball in Minnesota on Aug. 21, aggravated Nike Air Jordan Sunday in Baltimore. He returned to New York on Monday Cheap Jordan Sandals and had a magnetic resonance imaging test that revealed a Jordan Max Fusion sprain. Rodriguez said doctors told him it was slightly higher than a Grade 1 sprain. He said he did not want to rule Air Jordan 13 Air Max Fusion out the possibility of coming back for Thursdays game here, but added that he was told not to touch a Jordan 11 Air Max Fusion bat for another two days. That makes a return for the Yankees final regular-season game in Boston rather unlikely. Jordan 3 Air Max miserable, Rodriguez said of the notion he would not be able to play in this rivalry. Its painful to come here on this is Air Jordan Spizikes a perfect day to play baseball at Fenway Park. This is one Spizikes 2011 of my favorite places to play. Rodriguez, who missed the series here this month, is a career .290 hitter at Fenway Park, with 22 home runs Jordan Space Jams and 69 runs batted in over 104 games. Before Tuesday nights game against the Boston Red Sox, Rodriguez took ground balls Air Jordan Space Jams at third base with a wrap on his thumb, but he did not hit. He said the thumb did not bother him in the field, but Jordan 3.5 Air Max is unable to swing the bat without considerable discomfort. He said when he did start swinging again, hopefully Thursday, Jordan 4 Air Max Fusion would reduce the number of swings in order to lessen the strain and pressure on the thumb.
market IS going down for a while...it is ordained. The last few days have been a head fake. And a damn good one. But we will not see a market plunge like last month.... I will not speculate (at tghis time) on the bottom of the next fall...but it will not be the BIG bottom. This market will RIP higher after the fall...as high as 1300. But then...the shoe will drop like no-one has seen (yes, bigger than 2008)
