Big Fun

@rbisrb Remember when you all believed that a turnip was in charge of the most powerful nation in history for 4 years, and then convinced yourself that a palace coup didn't happen to kick him out of embarrassing himself again? That was fun

Only in America, Folks...

@GammaKing43 @DonMiami3 Relative to days when the market is closed? That's about the only comparison where this looks even moderate.

@DonMiami3 Relative Volume is high though

Volume is the tell today... there's none of it

@DonMiami3 SP 500 Equal Weight index (RSP) today: +1.05% Median stock in the SP index today (right now ABB): -0.36% So...there is a 140 bps spread between what that index should do and what it is doing. There is no conceivable way this farce could become any more broken.

(as expected)

@zerohedge It's so reassuring to know that the same lies work every single week.

US Stock Futures Rise on Report US, Iran to End Attacks Carbon copy headline every Sunday evening

@zerohedge But it all remains fine for as long as Aladdin is willing and able to squash VIX every day at 10AM and give fake calm to this broken circus

Risks For Market Are Stacking Up As Gamma Slumps Near Record (Negative) Low zerohedge.com/markets/risks-…

@DonMiami3 Death, taxes, lies from Barak and WalterLeaks, and the 10AM VIX squash. You can rely on some things to always happen.

@DonMiami3 The standard volume in this fake circus has been about 50-55% of average, so when even that is an unattainable mirage you know this is just empty calories of nothing

@DarioCpx 2 year Treasury rate is well above the Fed funds rate now That has a 100% hit rate for increasing the Fed funds rate, and even this degenerate group of morons should realize and act on that. That's the push for this house of incredibly flimsy cards.

Today is the 13th of March 2020 - Clearly, markets aren't going to crash today, but it's obvious they are standing on the edge of the cliff. After all, history never exactly repeats, but it always rhymes

@mindinpanic @CNBC Yeah, they should just go the American route and use self funded shell companies to pump up fake sales to themselves of product they never actually deliver. That's much easier.

@CNBC stocks plunging on a trillion dollar investment announcement is genuinely funny market logic

Shares of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix plunged on Monday after reports surfaced that the pair are expected to unveil investment plans worth more than a trillion dollars. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix will unveil major investment plans of up to 2,000 trillion won ($1.3 trillion) over the next 10 years, the Korea Economic Daily reported.

@CNBC So fake investment and capex news is celebrated here, but makes Korean clueless day traders run for the hills. Fake "markets" can be so confusing.

@AJEnglish But please keep believing that this shitshow that never stopped has stopped, and that everything is fine while nothing is fine. Oh...and don't worry about the Cushing tanks being dry. That's fine.

BREAKING: Ali Akbar Velayati, an adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, has warned Bahrain that Tehran would strike the country with greater force if provoked, saying “a serious warning is being given to the Bahrainis to know their limits.” 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/ozn4tx

@_nevrose_ @FinanceLancelot Yes...kind of like, you know, influenza.

@FinanceLancelot covid was actually super contagious and could get you pretty sick.

Catherine Fitts explains why the 2020 lockdowns were necessary to save the system. Basically they locked us down so they could print $6T and prevent hyper-inflation. That's how bad the situation is. There's no solution here. A global reset is coming.

@BasedCapitalLP @DarioCpx Yeah, it's not like they have attacked ships repeatedly and deterred anyone from wanting to cross the Strait. Except for the hundreds of times they have attacked ships and deterred them from wanting to cross the Strait.

@DarioCpx Homie if your oil bull thesis rests on the Houthis you’ve got big problems

Yemen's Houthis are mobilising, not sure why nobody is talking about this, but it looks like rather important in my humble opinion

@DarioCpx But then Axios and WalterLeaks will quote a fake anonymous source saying that Iran is just kidding, and algos can go right back to smothering VIX again.

I don’t think these technical talks are going to happen at all and Iran leadership is going to come out with an announcement confirming this in the next hours reiterating what has been already officially announced on state TV yesterday

@mr__daly @RealJohnGaltFla @DonMiami3 It's hard to tell since the bombs exploding sound the same on the "ceasefire" days as they do on the war days. You know...since they never actually stopped.

@FunTimeChuck @RealJohnGaltFla @DonMiami3 There's been more ceasefire days that actual war days ffs.

The Tonka traders will be out this week and then things will get very thin post Wed

@BartSimian @DarioCpx

@FunTimeChuck @DarioCpx Micro will hit first. Softbank still has a level of implied BOJ support.

SoftBank update: if anyone cares about fundamentals, it’s still 100% overvalued

@DonMiami3 Hey look, the usual lies are working just as well as the usual lies have worked for the last 3 months of this bullshit circus Thanks Barak!

The Nasdaq and KOSPI are basically becoming 1:1, not a good thing long term for the former 🤐

@DarioCpx The good news out of all of this is that algos continue to not give one single shit that Barak is lying yet again about the same thing yet again

I just woke up and saw that the great crude oil price manipulation machine continues to work like clockwork

@EricWHickman @Markzandi Yes, why would consumers with record card debt at record high rates, bankruptcies climbing 14% YoY, can't afford a house, being laid off left and right, and seeing inflation crush their buying power (again) not believe the economy is VERY strong? Oh yeah, that's all why

Economic data is very STRONG right now; the whole reason why inflation is a problem. It has gotten better month after month all year in a very clear way; LDEI, surprise index, coincident index. Reaching for negative things to keep your narrative alive is the worst kind of economics. It confuses the public that trust you.

The raft of economic data released last week isn’t sending off red flares, but it is sending off yellow ones. No red flares because real #GDP is still growing at a 2% pace, with AI and corporate tax cuts powering business investment. But yellow flares because consumers struggle to maintain their spending. Adding to the concern is the fall in real disposable income — the fodder for future spending — which rarely happens outside recessions. And the saving rate is seldom lower. With consumers accounting for over two-thirds of GDP, and business investment less than one-seventh, those yellow flares are getting brighter.
