Another one.

About 3 hours ago they blew the stops out that were resting over the early morning March 7 high in the S&P 500 futures.

This is normally done in the evening. The HFT then gobbles up the casualties and spits them out for 3 or 4 points.

You can set your watch by this fraud. It is very reliable.

I've seen it enough times that I know the variations and subvariations of this fraud like the palm of my hand.

Could there be some truth in the above?

Probably. If the crash is serious like people here are predicting, any solvent and profitable company may not want their stock gamed, and may not list it on the exchange. Anyone who wants to buy some stock in a company like that might contact the Treasurer of the company, pay for the stock in full, and get a certificate for their shares to lock in their safe. There will probably be rumors circulating for years after the crash saying that Wall Street gamed the stocks of perfectly good companies, crashed them to zero, and bankrupted the companies in the process. Which they will do, once the tide turns in the other direction.

Higgenbotham, what you seem to be saying is that investment in stocks should be for the long haul and not as what much of the volume on the exchanges appears to be ---a casino--
what you mention is kind of what my grandmother did many years ago when she bought shares in Commonwealth Edison, when electricity was new. she held them for decades and helped provide income in retirement, the were eventually sold upon her death.

I think a lot of the "problems " in the market could be solved if a) when an order is placed it has to stand for an hour before it can be pulled and b) stock must be held for at least a day. --- yes , I know there would be a lot of screaming, but it might make for a more sane and stable market.

Sane as in the market who sells submarines to greece and time meters for the euro hooker tax or the canned air to chicoms or

In all probability, he hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen.

It's going to be awhile, if ever, before there is a stable enough environment that investors can buy a stock and hold the shares in a safe for the long term. Probably the first thing that needs to happen to get to the point of stability is to wipe out the dead timber in a generational crash. As long as the Fed and the politicians are in "hyper vigilance" and "hyper adjustment" mode, investors will be in "hyper order placement" and "hyper turnover" mode.

They do not even begin to care in the first place. They are reflections of sapiens if they can see a reflection in a mirror.

[Higgenbotham]

The only thing that will sober the leadership up and/or sober the population up enough to replace the leadership with competent individuals is if something really bad happens. Obviously 2008 wasn't bad enough so it's going to either be a whopper or death of the civilization by a thousand cuts. More toward the latter is where we seem to be heading.

Remember when every meeting last decades ago was useless knowledge or data fragility for well thats a no brainer around here? Nope, sorry guys no strange on the card for me I like my wife and family more than you maniacs so you run silent and stay on budjet and automate to survive since your pitted against two other cross asseted owned zone white flags. Maybe your correct on the sober up but noted was animals leaving yellow stone and health care providers scared shitless about the new viruses that are loose and eat your lungs we all know about. The local networks will have build to get through since these souless white flag alpha pricks have destroyed every thing else in democidal avarice. We are moving past the do and say whatever you wish to survive since reality sorts and not theory because nature will confirm the rest and not there augumented bias routes. Newer management teams appear to get it as workers ignore everything else as before. Checking the numbers on markers do not indicate much has or will change for some other groups. They newer equity tribes are smarter and for that matter on a tighter leash in some zones only than some will effectively see or give credit.

Maybe your correct but note reported animals leaving yellow stone and health care providers scared shitless about the new viruses loose that eat your lungs we all know about.

I may not be correct because the really bad thing can come on suddenly. So far it seems to be a cumulative wasting process from many sources. Fukushima, GMO, antibiotic resistance bacteria, pharma in the water supply, depleted aquifers. and on and on. Many chronic, low level and insoluble cumulative effects.

As the ancients said who survived, one day it just happened. No idea when and walking the streets it look like a war zone.

I expect that's where they have taken it, when it stops and the restart button is hit, this time it doesn't restart. $400 billion per month and, whoops, the system is still locked up. What do they know? To do $600 billion, $1 trillion, still no go.
