Mkt Fag: Tech "earnings" week and the indices shat the bed from the start and then got 'help' from some "frens"-cough, ESF and short covering
A little on TWTR 172,649,789 shares traded vs 44,739,678 (avg) but still below the offer price-sometimes it can take some time for the price to "get there" but it reacted to all this last friday and then continued on today-remember it is NOT done until 30 days have elapsed >>16151730 pb and all shareholders tender* them. It is up another 1/3 of a % in AH trading
* Mkt Fag is going speculate here and say that WAYYY moar shares that have been issued will show up for this offer and tendered (thus proving to everyone who doesn't know the entire market is a riggged POS). This habbened in the 1990's with Heinz and a public to private transaction (they have done a few over the years) and there were about 10-15% moar shareas that were tendered that had ever been issued. Enter in the merger of The Depository Trust Company (DTC) and National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) and in 1999 those were merged andThis is exactly the DTCC doesn't clear all trades and we have all those problems-they are so "backed up" but it totally on purpose. Also remember they moved the DTCC storage facility to a below the water spot in lower Manhattan (55 Water St-WATCH THE WATER) and once that was done "they" created Super Storm Sandy and shove it right up New York's ass and of course that facility was flooded and the certificates were water logged etc. This did not finish the job because they left the door open to "dry it out" and it 'caught on fire'-you can't make this shit up. This is why the so desperately want to go to Crytpo so they can digitize the huge derivative shit-pile and get out of the lack of clearance for the markets.

DTCC Says Trillions in Stock Certificates Damaged in Sandy Floodwaters
https://www.silverdoctors.com/gold/gold-news/dtcc-says-trillions-in-stock-certificates-damaged-in-sandy-floodwaters/
RUT even managed to close green too (still down 22% from it's highs)-That drop in stocks caught a bid as Europe closed (surprise surprise) and rallied back to unch (Nasdaq outperformed) and the TWTR news seemed to spur stocks even higher with everything turning green and Nasdaq leading the charge. They gotta prop tech cause big names this week release what they stil call "earnings.
That choppines in all the indices are not a good sign if you are long-but also do not forget that all it takes is a reaction from J-J-Janet and the inkjets via the Exchange Stabilization Fund ESF and all of that "down" gets erased or arrested. All those big chunks on the NAS (in the billions) were not coming from "investors" on a whole these are NOT investors they are speculators and gamblers and it has ALWAYS been this way-only a few places transactions of that size can come from-still think Softbank were/was behind those and they were getting help from the ESF but jmo. Something got up it's ass starting at 10:22am EST (the big rise on the left side of Cap#2) The NAS was green for all of 26 minutes and then fell of da cliff-but hold on a minute niqqa-the big blocks started showing up at 11:27am EST with the first one of 1.57B (reported as a sale-moar than 50% of it sales) then we had one at 11:54am of 1.79B (on it's LOD and reported as buy-moar than 50% of it was buying)…and the WHOOOOOSH up again. And the NAS went green and waffled along the neckline (fridays close) around 1:10pm EST…lather,rise, repeat. These are all indicated by the black dots in Cap#2-showing all of 2 today.
Major indecision going across all indices-the choppiness shows that. DWAC got left for ded today -5.29 (-12.90%) and it appears the market (not real people mind you) is saying that TS is not needed-remember these are completely controlled by the market makers and go where THEY decide to place them. 45 has ZERO control over this so don't "buy it" just because it's connected with him-a big lesson to learn is you must always distance a product from it's equity price as they have nothing to do with each other ftmp-see Apple's stock prior to Steve Jobs death…it did nothing and shortly after he ded it went parabolic.
The metals Au/Ag-see cap#3….another hit job on both (that began last night) but got a kick in the ass lower as soon as NYMEX opened at 8:30am-totally continuing to NOT hide this and been going on for decades. Ag getting whacked much worse %-wise than Au.
So this improves the Gold?silver ratio again but good luck trying to get any Ag in size becasue the premiums are still high. Again just in front of the weekly print for both of those tomorrow (tuesday) at 1:30pm EST. Ag well below $24 and Au has lost the $1900 level-the paper flowing hard and fast here today on the COMEX from the start of trading last night. See below for demand destruction in Palladium article.
Treasury complex-yields monkey hammered because everyone rushes to the 'safety' of those when the markets drop…this is how it is 'supposed' to habben but we've seen where yields go up when the markets drop-starting in early March when the bond market DEMANDED higher rates no matter what the consequences were. Easily see on a longer term 10ys chart-started exactly on March 1st-see cap #4 courtesy of ZH chart for the entire bond action adn here for the 10 yr: https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/bond/tmubmusd10y
Oil continued it's fall below $100 on moar demand destruction-they aren't gonna call it that but every commodity is getting smershed today and the fact they can't keep oil over $100 tells you that they are all short and profiting from it at this point. All the big bois haz shorts as a hedge on future production on most commodities-not all because in the case of Lithium those purchases are usually made on the spot market and do not require as big a hedge as the major comms do. Got a bounce at $95.31 and then began back "up" on off some bigger volume after the "up" button was pushed . Absent a FF or some "news" this is not going to last-they may manage to get it back above $100 as remember this is ALL a PAPER game…..most if not all commodity trading represent very little actual assets changing hands-why these fuggers at the COMEX need dhere ballz chopped off and fed to them.
Muh ÂĄ has backed off quite a bit and that, of course sent the US $ index soaring-there is not just a reaction tot eh jaw-boning there is someone soaking this up and even though J-J-Janet said no to an intervention the BOJ Chair Kuroda-san was in the US last week (spoke at Columbia Univ.) I'm sure a few discussions were held at the NYFED. It closed @ 128.14 and will continue to march towards 130 and beyond.
Abe-san haz spoken on this today-sez "no need"..how about can't-the BOJ owns a majority of the equity and bond market and are totally stuck. They will NEVER raise rates and will remain the outlier while everyone else raises
Abe says no need for BOJ to be swayed by yen's depreciation

Demand destruction here….and they actually mention Ag-they NEVER do that up or down-but funny that they mention that after it's been hit with the usual paper drops.
