Waiting For The "Cashin Crash"? Here Is The "Fermentation Committee Chairman" Himself With An Update

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Last week Zero Hedge as well as many others, noted the observation by UBS' Art Cashin that the market was setting up for a "Thursday/Monday" Crash, which was lining up perfectly going into the European open, until someone, somewhere decided to start buying up everything. Does that change the expecation for a wipe out today? Here is Art himself with his updated take on what (and what not) to expect today.

From UBS' Art Cashin

Whenever You Find The Key To The Market, They Change The Locks - That wry comment from the late Gerald Loeb seems particularly apt this morning. Lots of nice folks cited my projection of a possible Thursday/Monday Crash Syndrome setting up. We think the numerous citations were not based on any particular credibility we may or may not have. Rather, we think people gravitated to the concept because, if it occurred, it would “clear the air” after weeks of whipsaw volatility.

Jason Goepfert of SentimenTrader even did a computer run on the syndrome using his massive file of data (among the best in the Street). He studied the occurrences going all the way back to 1930. (I was just thankful that it showed up and was not an old fogey’s delusion.)

Over the weekend, there were still hopes that the Syndrome might follow through. Asian markets were quite weak, with Thailand, in particular, looking like it might slip into a death spiral. But, as they headed for their respective closes, they bounced solidly off the lows. U.S. futures whipsawed before finally turning higher in response to their European cousins. So, it looks like the pattern will not complete and we will be denied the capitulation selloff and subsequent reversal. Too bad!

Friday action was most bizarre, if gold and silver were hit so hard , the markets should have tanked as well. Coming on the 4th retest of the support and weak bounce, weird.

Gold/silver were drive-by shootings via margin hikes.  Liquidations had to migrate somewhere.

I'm feeling like the banksters have their axes sharpened for more margin hikes as a strong defensive measure against any hint of mass movement to "real currencies" while they conduct last rites on the Euro...

It's the Bernanke's Plan. A new way to fund his Fav Five Fraud Banks.

They raise Gold and Silver Margins.

Then you buy the stocks the Fav Five need to sell.  Banks:  Win, Win.

Of course.  These desperate gap up/ramp ups are all about putting things in the perfect position to short.  A week ago Friday, the most notable example of this was AMZN...with criminal printing of profits on upside calls, followed by short selling of shares.  The shares reached a point where not even the dumbest Chinese algo would buy them, green lighting wholesale syndicate shorting.

Spot on, Dog.

And the greater American Depression rolls on until such time as the banking cartel is finally removed from the co located pipeline of computer theft.

Good luck trading anything today, total crapshoot. The Nasdaq is negative while the Dow average i up 100. Priceline and Lulu are down, autopart stocks are up, Amazon was down and now up, and Apple is down which normaly would mean the total market would be down.

Rumors of rumors meet the ghost of rumors past. As long as there are rumors that the banks are flush with cash the collapse will be put off.

There's no way to avoid an acute silver shortage at the bankstering wholesale fiat paper prices.  Shouldn't be nothing left for the rank'n file 1 billion above ground silver with in weeks.  You have 271 billion of outflows from money markets & FRN's get traded in real fast for something of substance.

Phoned in an order for PMs Friday afternoon to my bullion/coin dealer. Normally send payment overnight delivery service. He said, "don't bother. Save the money and send it normal mail, since it won't be processed until the middle of October because of the backlog of orders!" Buyers greatly outnumber sellers. Gotta buy more today.

Right now when you go short your'e shorting Obamas' second term. He still has all the tools at his behest, the greatest military in the world, the Presidents Group on Manipulating the Markets, all sorts of legal shennigans, such as moving wars or spending off balance sheet, 14th amendment. The more powerful and decisive Obama acts the more the American people will love him. In the end all politicians are pimps, "whip me, beat me, make me write bad checks.."

the question for traders, am I about to get pimped..

When the cost of commission fees is negligible, or zero, it's not hard to bid up the market on low volume & minimum lots while you simultaneously short & cover at each technical resistance level. 

It's like the magic trick of the knots in the rope that vanish when you snap the rope tight.  

This way, you take out all the weak shorts on the run up, lure in the dumb money and then pull the rope tight for the fall.
