A Reminder Of Marketwide Circuit Breakers
Since the SEC recently revised its marketwide circuit breaker thresholds and everyone is confused, to paraphrase Lewis Black, here is the new and improved circuit breaker schedule. It appears that the next 15 minutes may be rather important...

Bad market, bad market! Now go to the corner!
it's 11:58am PST -- two minutes to go before we see some crazily positive news to pump up the market! rally monkey, where are you?
Meh.
PPT again.
Y'know, if you look at aluminium, copper, treasury yields or even the HSI for example which is clearly not part of the inner circle, last months dip should have been around 40%.
I'm just wondering how much money in total was spent to save the S&P, DAX, CAC, & FTSE.
Stocks are truly blessed.
But Bank of America said the market falls in the morning and rises in the afternoon. Gosh don't you guys know market patterns always repeat themselves. That's why investing is easy. /sarc
Pull out of But(t) Bank.
tic tok, ticked off, back stabbed, wizzed off.
are we getting there? is that it?
Breakers Bitches
No DEAL !!!

Sums up what's happening in Europe.
I believe this is a more accurate summary:

show me some fucking follow through. I want to see a fucking triple dick unicorn bailout rumor get run over.
Love it! And after its run over get out of your car ( of course a train is better) and shoot it three times.
...aaaand this is what happens when you force out the short sellers on rumors. Not many people to close out their shorts to stop this.
13 minute nap
emergency power diverted to stock exchange; EMS test canceled
Italy can't end well, there are only 2 ways this can end:
1) Italy doesn't do austerity and ECB refuses aid, bonds implode, banks implode.
2) Italy does austerity, triggers mass unemployment, recession. Which leads to house prices dropping and banks getting hit.
Funny I was just talking about the circuit breakers on TOS chat, I wonder if Tyler is on there.
Goldmember: a head of his time!
The computers are just rebooting, nothing to worry about. Just wait for it
We won't hit 1100 points down in one day, at least not yet. There are still too many morons high on hopium from the dealer at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and his network of cronies in Paris and Berlin.
Eh? You really think the implosion comes when the morons are expecting it?
So we want to cross 1100 down after 2PM got it.......
No fear. 400 point rally tomorrow. Italy saved on 50% off sale on Italian pasta.
on the contrary -
drops 500pts. +/+ after the s&p threshold is broken down for good -
jmo
Looks like my call of a +100 rumor was wayyyyy off proving once again that the best investment advice is to do exactly the opposite of what I would do. LOL
Too much wine in the sorbet?
thats just cruel Ty - Bull baiting
Today's clock will be played by an alligator and the antagonist will be played by Capt Hook...er, Italy.
7 minutes
1100 points...that'd be a biggie.
DEER IN HEADLIGHTS! DEER IN HEADLIGHTS! DEER IN HEADLIGHTS!...
There's still time for a last hour rumour du jour, they haven't run out of rabbits (though their collection of hats is dwindling)...
Buy the dip - slurp slurp!
Breakers?
The HFT algos will save us. They always do. They are like super heros.
People just need to have more faith.
[edit] So okay, who forgot to turn on the bots at 3pm? Someone must be hating on capitalism.
No stopping it now
This will be revised with a quiet memo tomorrow.
It should read as follows:
TO: All Relative & Important Market Participants
FROM: Us
DATE: November 10, 2011
SUBJECT: Preventing Insolvency in Market Performance & Stability
All MM's and other participants in market liquidity and trading areas are hereby notified that the circuit breakers are hereby updated from 10% to 3%, but this is strictly between us. During any 3% move in the market downard, from this date forward, all exchanges will be closed and sellers will be bared from selling for a period of three days (the "cooling off period").
We believe this will keep markets stable and let market participants think more wholeheartedly before selling and causing market turmoil. Further, it will allow those, more important participants, to be protected from any loss.
Lastly, any drop beyond 3% will be purchased by the Federal Reserve in an effort to maintain markets and push any losses that may occur to more important particpants to the public sector en masse. We believe this PIMPS initiative will help fuck everyone but us. Remember, this is on the DL, yo.
The DOW would need to drop another 600 pts just to return to the Oct 7th levels......whooop te do! Big deal! Somebody is getting raped and I think it is the small and medium folks.....that cash is coming from somewhere and going somewhere......can you guess where it is going?
yep,... there using the seed-money to plant more money-tree orchards
The usual: US Tbill auctions incoming.
latest rumor,
Merkal is having Berscolines love child.
Fucking Bank of America ..... assholes ruined it .
Well only down 380 at the moment and only 25 minutes until the 3PM Rumor sends it "soaring".
maybe italy will suddenly "find" 55 billion euro from an accounting error
or maybe a couple of japanese guys carrying $150 billion in 1930's vintage US bearer bonds....they get to keep 50% of what they catch by Italian law...
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=a62_boqkurbI
How do you say "glitch" in Italian?
Exactly! I was thinking it was about time for the 2:30p meltup.
3pm rumor is coming to turn all of this green. BTFD.
Going to venture a 'wild' guess.....DOW closes -155, or close by that.
Sorry.....I meant -255 or thereabouts.
Ok, Ok....so, should I change it to -455?
with 9 minutes to go, I'd say yeah.
Funny thing is......seems many are talking about a crash.....but the market will close today higher than it was on Nov 1st; Wow, big deal, ...not. I still contend that all this market turbulence is used to control prices of certain commodities (mostly energy). Except it is not working as well as it used to.
No. It's to loosen up $$$ for upcoming T-Bill auctions. Keeps the intr rates down.
Good point....Gee, I wonder if the T-Bills will be able to compete with that popular Italian 3Billion Euro offering?
Interesting...How come it gives the figures both in percentages and points? I mean if its a 1100 point down day and the market opened at 9500 then thats not 10 percent is it? for example. It cant be both.
yeah, I say so.... WTF? also, whatyamean "4th QTR"?? same set for now to Dec 31? man these guys are optimistic
idiots
NO cavalry today folks.
Forget BTD
Its Sell The Rallies now.
Knife catchers in shreds.
Speaking of which, Anybody seen Robo?
Dr flash crash, paging Dr flash crash
OT - CNN in disarray with soundclips:

In the event of a 5000 point loss on the Dow, knock out the hooker that's on top of you, blow the rest of your coke in one fat line, and go party with the kids at Occupy Wall Street...
Yeah, where the hell is that deer in the headlights pic?????
and here comes standard EOD spike.... what a fukin' joke..... a 4-ring Circus
Forget this stuff, it's Flash Crash Rules! Cancel all trades! Start over tomorrow and hope they get it right.
They won't let the thing go busto? Are you kidding? That ain't free market.
Free market is going all-in on a bluff, getting called, and losing all your chips.
DOW=pussy
Also, expect a late run in the day, and maybe one by end of week. The elites and corporations can't let things get TOO out of hand, that might lead more readers to find ZH.
All that's happening is predictable, as there are 7 stages that every
major economy goes through. Those who know how it works profit & massive
wealth is transferred to them. Several months ago I learned this
information from a millionaire whose site I found & am sharing it with
everyone I know.
His free video
"How To Create Incredible Wealth in Today's Economic Crisis"

Hope this info helps everyone as much as it has me.

I am going to follow you around and haunt you "Doctor".

Peddle your bullshit to some idiot who doesn't have Google.

Circus Breakers 3:00PM: "BTFD show and the U pattern"
Farmland bitchez!
Thanks for the reminder Tyler. Perhaps the markets can focus on " reality" , a bit more closely now.
Eg; Mediocre China news, ( nice piece earlier). Europe in a depression. A dysfunctional group of kool-aid drinking ( Super- committee- friends). A q-4 gdp writedown. Crude over 90, (Iran). Last, but not least, " a completely cluster f..ked Federal reserve!)
People, people, nothing to see here, nothing to see. This is all temporary. Go home, have some dip, relax and enjoy Dancing with the Stars.
As usual, market propped up into the close to avoid a waterfall. SPY and ES. SPY and ES. SPY and ES. Over and over... Just take a look at the volume on SPY in last 15 minutes. I'm sure that's people who decided this was a good place to buy.
I hope today's market behavior finds its way into questions of tonight's masturbaters, er, I mean debaters.
Market closed Wednesday at 11780.94, so for Thursday
Your DOWN-1100 level is 10680.94
and
Your DOWN-2250 level is 9530.94
Thanks Tyler, reminder may come in handy rather sooner than some expect...
Well, it seems the markets need a stronger stimulant!
What's next Ben?
Ya know, if the whole goddamn thing is gonna tits up in the next few days, I want to be on Zero Fucking Hedge to watch the comments.
If I ain't going have jack shit till the sun flames out forever, I at least want to be right here laughing my ass off about it.
Total annihilation should be this much fun for everyone.
Armageddon!!! Armageddon!!!
Now where is that fucking gerbil anyway?
OZFH (Occupy Zero Fucking Hedge) - The only place on the interwibbles to understand what happens when elephants fuck donkeys. Hey, Santorum, you asshole, how about a constititional amendment banning that; if not, maybe Batshit Crazy Bachman will at least carve a monument out of the act at Rushmore.
A drunk Ambassador Perry can dedicate the son of a bitch.
And what does all that have to do with circuit breakers? Not a damn thing.
Wish I had an once of Au: I'd spend it on a 55 gallon barrel of Jack Daniels.
DOW/SP500/NASDAQ charts reveals very overextended price action and another Wile E Coyote scenario.
As mentioned numerous times, the bullish US Dollar weekly chart continues to exert it’s influence and according to my analysis this will continue.
