A Reminder Of Marketwide Circuit Breakers

Tyler Durden's picture




 

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

 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!)
