The volume is on selling pressure...go figure.
Looks Just like mid-march 2009
Right. And mid March till basically 2011 was up UP and away.
I took note of volume yesterday and observed:
At 3:30pm......... 460mm shares traded total
and at the close of 4:00pm..........725mm shares total
In final 30 minutes, 265mm trades? Over HALF the days volume?
Machines?
gov
Machines owned by Gov.
The Dow needs to shed 10,000 points. Please god make it happen!!!

Machines owned by Fed owned in turn by machines.
That's how it is down the rabbit hole.
The Fed and the gov ARE marchines. They're all programmed, unlike spontaneous free human beings.
Open Market Operations are Gods Work!

Comparing even this week to last week is ridiculous, comparing today to 2009 is insane.
Ha. Nice charts.
Today!
sudden high volume is often a precursor of a reversal. CRASH YOU BITCH!
And yet equity put/call is still low. Unbelievable.
I see it .... but I don't believe it... not yet , anyway
Waiting for the juice ... any minute now...
Buyers beating VWAP in 3...2...1...
And am I surprised. I think not. Last hour of trading may be interesting. The key is if the algos jump it up the last 45 minutes. And as the all knowing Maria states "the most important hour of the trading day". What a crock of shit these idiots are.
If AAPL breaks the lows today we just may have a carnival.
Theyve got to decide now what theyll do for the rest of the year, its either print and pump and hope $7 gas wont cause the country to burn to the ground for their precious little equity rescue, or let equities slide and see how that goes.
Im betting they let people keep believing theyll print, but wont.
Shit, Sheep Dog, we won't be able to *afford* to burn the mfer down with $7 gallon gas..,.
why would you burn a commodity when fiat will do?
I didnt say to burn the gas....hell Ive got some matches and newspaper that works pretty much as well as anything else.
burn it with nat gas......its delivered to most every structure for a reason
Meh, see how it goes *shrug*
BTFD......STFD......FTFD

2. Profit
Is this the point where the big boys wonder whether they could end up being the last ones to squeeze through the door?
SELL!!!!
el Presidente is making an announcement tonight, the US is pegging gold @ $2500 an Oz
The headline on Yahoo is that Facebook is eyeing May 17th or the 24th to launch it's IPO. Itt'll be funny watching them try and launc that piece of crap in this market.
It will go 40% up in 4 hours, and then down to 20% up by end of day. Then the next trading day, 20% down. Where it will stay.

There it goes....AAPL. I have free popcorn for all. And I bought bigger bowls.
Anything to do with Santorum quitting the race ?
God is mad.

3:30 juice, or waterfall?
A: juice. Shorts have to pay taxes as well.
just wait for the Christmas rally
Hey, you bitch O'bama here's your Redistribution of wealth
There are many in this old world of ours who hold that we all get the same amount of ice. The rich get it in summer-time and the poor get it in winter.Socialist Dumbasses.
:
since retail is out or in built in tracking error ETFs and hedge funds are all in on 3-4 stks could well see a bito waterfall into close....
The only "long" position I have is gold. I couldn't feel more smug than right now.
I'm with you, except the market keeps beating the smug out of me...
...and better than ever!
and even higher volume as the PPT ups the ante.
Phuckin PPT. Won't let the Dow drop more than 200. Every time - right back up.
how can it crash if the PPT won't let it? Been watching it for the last 15 mins and refuses to give up the 200 mark. This is a dead market.
If this is indeed the beginning of a huge drop (Ben does need a "reason" to print and commodities lower) I can't wait to watch the delusional perma bulls give it all back waiting for Ben to hit Ctrl+P.
adding to that. waiting for the perma bulls to explain how the market is NOT going higher when Ben doesn't print.
will they ever state the obvious that markets only go higher with more funny money?
These money managers are frozen with fear over money outflows. For them "now" is always a great time to "put money to work". They'll spin everything positive because they have no choice...
RampBots in flight, afternoon delight.
OH YES: We're off the lows -> CNBC.
On another note, gold miners finally doing well!
hedge funds will take it out quicker than Binny can put it in.
Really no reason to hit the panic button yet. Alcoa is going to save us all after the close and report strong numbers out of China. Good old AA will get out there in force and get these muppets back on track for some more buying on the dips.
The BTFDers are getting assfucked this week
Does this mean the Goldman Muppets are buying into the once in a lifetime BULL market.
I'm guessing that volume will gain traction until a few more percentage points are removed from the indices until the end of May.
After that I'm guessing there will be some kind of dead cat bouncing followed by sideways movement leading towards mid-June, when the Eurozone's problems will become the news-cycle's main theme, which will provide an adequate breeding ground for further panic selling and all around capitulation up until mid-August when "rumours" will begin to surface about another liquidity injection by the Fed, which by that time will might be justified since barring any forseable military action towards Iran will take Nymex Crude at around sub-$90 (again, guessing), which along with the then price of gold (not even going to guess that) will give the false impression of a waining inflation, and provide (perhaps) an excuse of further intervention by the Fed, just in time to pick the economic indicators before Obama's re-election.
If I were baby boomer, it is signal to get out. And once they sell their holding... They won't come back.
Muppet phones are ringing off the hook.
BUY the dip. BUY the dip
Pure horseshit all of it. At least at this moment maybe one might say what the hell I'm doing a lot better than Gaddafi or even say Jack Kennedy back in 1963. Perhaps there might be a Gaddafi gold dinar coin minted one day? Even better a half dinar coin?
A surge in volume on a big down day acts as a confirmation. It looks like the trend down is underway.
Is this a correction before another bull or a longer term down. Too early to say.
Follow the trend folks - the trend is your friend. And the trend broke last week.

hindsight is 20/20. can't go wrong trading the rearview mirror, ever!
Theres tons of master rear-view trders around....if only they could find a way to actually profit from yesterdays close they'd really be onto something!
Where's RoboTrader when we really need him? I regret to say BAC is down over 4% today - hahahahahahahahahahah, oh jeez (wipes tears from eyes). And AAPL continues to slide - my cup runneth over.
After looking at the Asian mkts and Europe this morning, I added a bunch to my TZA position, and have been moving stops up all day.
'bout time the Bear Calvary showed up:

At least the 3:30 bots didn't leave us.
Someone's trying to push this fucker back up, but it just won't go.
Look at it levitate. We got tricks!
Absence of a PPT intervention this afternoon suggests to me that Alcoa may surprise to the upside after the close allowing a nice overnight ramp to above the 50 DMA.
Alcoa? Surprise earnings? Yea....it would definitely be a surprise, and I want to see all the numbers.
... earnings are out and you would be correct, my friend. Ding ding ding! Strong beat.
Aluminium prices ramped to mid February but have been declining since. I'm going to say hit. Q2 is a miss.
CNBC bobble heads ecstatic 'WE'RE OFF THE LOWS!' ....lol 5 whole points off the LOD gee what a miracle.

Volume hits 4-year low http://www.cnbc.com/id/47005811 LOLI wonder if the 60 minutes show this weekend talking about Europe about to take a dump startled the sheep. The boomers can't afford another draw down since time is running out for them.
This is a reversal.
SPX - Futures completed Gartley-222 reversal at 78.6%. It was a beaut!
All the way to 1458. Yeehaaa.......
