someone made tons of money being short..

Is this sell off including the worse employment data tomorrow?

or will it be a black friday

When they run  like headlines after headlines every 10-15 min

bought some calls for next week.

Stocks Plunge 1%

then it was

Stocks Plunge 2%

Then it was

Stocks plunge 3%

If this continues we will see 4% i gue

ECB TRICHET: ECB WILL CONDUCT OPERATION TO PROVIDE LIQUIDITY

OPERATIONS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON AUG. 9

Now that is an extreme case given that no data came out since yestreday night to today's open yet.

Yen intervention yes, but this much down is little bit overblown

S&P from 1370 -1234 is 10%, Nice correction for now. Lets get back to test the trend line above 20,50,200d etc

Mine was screwed too, Just turned it off, but you have to refresh the quote everytime..good old time

well not exactly QE3 but on Bernanke

i think what is unfolding is a slower version of the flash crash from last May..Looks like a controlled sell off unlike last time when in matter of minutes it would start to go down

Yup that's what is out of context for me....May be we have already reached the bottom and this continuous sell off is some kind of not based on extreme volatility

Looks like we will be missing the most important newsletter....but i think we can live with that

From Oct 1st 8 days of losses

Failed to cross 200d,

Fell below the long term support line from 2009 low

Fell below the a-b-c-d-e pattern

Fell below the previous support at 1258

And ready to test the March 2011 low at 1249

for such a big move in S&P, why is the VIX not up that much today?  For a day like today we would normally see atleast a 10% move.  Is this because the move is already factored into the move in advance

No one's posting...or waiting for a buy signal before posting :-)

Down almost 10% this is one stock that moves either side on no news out there
