Tyler Durden's picture




 

Because Monday seems so long ago... And to think, the market surged over 3% yesterday on something... what exactly was it? Oh, yes, idiot momentum.

Is today chicken or feathers?

Who has the playbook for today, I keep getting the wrong one.

I bet we go down 350 points, then Blankenstein covers his shorts, turns the needle to "Market Go Up" and we finish up 350...

yes. monday was 5.55% and 6.66% yesterday was 4.0%

today will be up 30. not 350. but we will have the wild swings.

I can agree with that, the swings will be dips to be bought, but I do think we are goin to end today with the Dow +30 points.

Today is thier day for 3s. Just to show us how much they can jerk this thing around.

it's not so cryptic as all that...i was only revealing my stupidity -- again.  I had a few questions, and then i thought better of it; thinking, 'why should i trouble all these good people to answer my silly questions when i and they'd be better served if i figured it out myself (i'm a tard, i get it...but once i have something, i tend to have it okay)'. 

but there is merit in other opinions.  so if you or any are interested in venturing an answer:

1) what is rule 48?

2) what are mandatory opening indications?

3) why are they reported anyway (if that answer is implicit in #2, then, obviously this is moot)?

4) who(m) does rule 48 affect most (again, see moot point above)?

5) are there a set of protocols by which rule 48 is actuated...or is it again subjective bullshit? (and if the answer to #1 is implicit here, well...)

i have all these written down to look up later, but you could save me a little fun.

 

i don't know about my 20 IPs, but i'm offended that you think the janus mileu could be in some way duplicated...but i guess i'm a little flattered all the same.

MsCreant,

indeed i do, but it is in no way limited to ZH.

janus has em big appetites...which is why i'm so inclined to finance; which is why i'm so inclined in general.

i do, however, apologize; when first i toured this site, i found it wanting in terms of femenine beauty (thanks for doing your part to make the change, MsCreant)...thought it a place for bruisers and bad-asses.  and it is...mostly.  I've decided to be a bit nicer and all (as averse as it may be to the ole nature), as it seems some get their feelings hurt (i don't; so no one ever go easy on janus -- attack makes me strong...MIGHTY in fact).  my point is, had i know ladies like you would be blessin us with your presence, i would never have revealed the 'special purpose'.  it's more of a novelty anyway...the girls say it ain't so awesome after a while.

i ain't nothin but a hound dog,

Google is my friend, hockey is not. I love to laugh though. Bettern' dope.

Others have wondered if I am a guy too, I'm used to it. I think it is because I play kinda hard here. I am a MsCreant and announce it up front. I don't have to be good. Here is a poem for you, a favorite of mine:

Wild Geese

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting 
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

MsLovely,

 

i love sport metaphors, too...even when they're drawn from sports that ain't sports at all.  in other words, i couldn't agree more -- hockey ain't, and it never will be, football.

i know you're all woman; it's just not too common to find one that knows her way around a joke...women are lotsa things, funny generally ain't among em.

i see you're a smoker, too -- or at least you should be.  smoking's the only thing that keeps folks like you and i from burning this mother-fucking world to the goddam ground and then pissin on the cinders (how's that for miscreation)...prometheus, light my cigarette, boy!  i'm jonesin.

i loved the lines...no wait, i really loved the lines.  Emerson would have been proud of ms. oliver.  it's well done (for a woman...just teasin), and it shows a virtue in you that this world is woefully wanting...keep being you, you're awesome.

no doubt you can hold your own; but don't expect a fight from janus -- i'm fine with fighting friends, but i have a way of losing them as a consequence.

in the room the women come and go/

Cramer... What a clown.  I'd bet he makes a lot more money than I do giving sage observations like that.  It's not even very accurate.  I wonder if they'd let me try out for his job.  I can call up Yahoo! finance and see the three major indices are down, and trending lower.  I will then announce "if you sell your stocks today, you could lose money".

There, do you think I have a chance at a new career?

"Dow Jones’ Kristina Peterson explained it pretty well in a story earlier this month. She writes that basically it means the designated market makers 'will not have to disseminate price indications before the bell, making it easier and faster to open stocks. The rule was approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission on Dec. 6, 2007 and has been used rarely since then.'"

It is amazing how "markets" work these days:

If the market direction is sharply down, the market action can be halted...

If certain sectors of the market (e.g. financials) move sharply lower, short selling can be banned...

Entities like The Fed can boost markets with an "invisible hand" as they see fit whilst they can resist being audited...

So much for fair and open price discovery in the "market".

NEW YORK Aug 10 (Reuters) - The New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Amex Cash Markets on Wednesday invoked a rule to smooth trading at the market open, as futures pointed to a sharp drop in the major indexes.

 

Rule 48 allows the exchange to suspend price indications that help determine the floor price at the open during regular sessions. Bypassing the requirement helps speed the beginning of trading.

 

Among the triggers for invoking the rule are "substantial activity in the futures market before the open," according to the exchange's website.

 

S&P 500 futures SPc1 lost 27.7 points and were below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures DJc1 fell 250 points, and Nasdaq 100 futures NDc1 dropped 47.5 points."

 

Oh shit! the market's down.. whoa, wait, it's back up again!" Fuck!, it's down on futures, waitaminit, up, no, oh fuck the algos are running amok! Invoke! Invoke! Stop the madness!

Actual Quote from Goldman's Jan Haztius advising The Bernank as to how he could "spin" QE3  to make it more 'sell-able' (you could be forgiven for thinking I'm making this shit up, as it's beyond surreal):

"Although the substantive differences are small--e.g. a $600bn purchase over eight months is basically the same as a $75bn-per-month purchase that is expected to last eight months--the cosmetics of the flow approach might be more appealing."

 

The excerpt above is where one gets a true flavor of all that is Goldman Sachs' status as a coked out whore, addicted to taxpayer extracted, Bernanke distributed, largesse.

Goldman Sachs the junky is jonesing for a fix so badly, there is no level they wouldn't stoop to. It's pathetic.

guy on CNBC with Cramer is saying a QE3 (fiscal stimulus) has to start right now.  Funny they aren't saying what a failure the others were.  Just saying one is needed right now.

Those whoremongers have no clue how to "fix" the economy.  Perpetual stimulus is all they know.  Print and spend... and do it again.

1. Print money

2. Spend money

3. Lie to the public

4. Go to line 1

 That gives me an idea for a cartoon.  Imagine a printing press spewing money out of a helicopter.  The money is supposed to be falling down toward Mr. and Mrs. Joe Sixpack on the ground, but the leaders of Goldman and BAC etc. have their butterfly nets deployed to catch most of the falling cash before it reaches the ground.  I'll bet William Bonzai could sketch a nice image of that.

Or to put it another way, you filthy peons get to make room in line behind the elites who spent all that cash building robo-algo-net bunkers closer to the midtown Manhatten servers to beat the 8 millisecond lag down to 'old' Wall Street.

See you in the foam at the bottom of the waterfall....

It's amazing how long something can limp along with liberal applications of baling twine, rusted bottle caps, old nails, and re-masticated chewing gum rescued from the Safeway parking-lot tarmac. But eventually the scab of superficial quick fixes sloughs off, to reveal the mortal wound underneath. Good luck suckahs. I have to go and cut hay now.

This could be a hed-fuk ...to scare investors prices were about to drop again ..my news feed has "Dow dropped over 2% against yesterdays rally"

Wait, I thought no news was good news.  Did we change the SOP on the Algos again?

Damn it why did I stay up so late last night.  I missed all the fun of watching Melissa and Cramer try to explain to me that there is an actual reason why the market is down today.

 

Tyler, 5 stars on idiot momentum.

Oh and PPS, anyone got a good link where I could get a crash course in the bond market for free? 

I have a phone interview in a few hours and I would like to have some idea of what the fuck I am talking about.
