I was just preparing a similar chart. Weekly chart of S&P going back to October 2009. Up trend is still well intact. Maybe a correction. How deep or strong remains to be seen. But total collapse I just don't see it. Trade what you see folks.

yep you got it. They might try it under the heading 'civil emergency'. It wouldn't be the first time, FDR served more than 2 terms.

And then they changed the law after FDR. 2 terms is the limit. We did not post phone elections during the War of 1812 when the British were occupying D.C. or when we were involved in the War of Northern Aggression from 1861-1865 or WW2 from 1941-945.

It won't happen.

Remember 8/20/15 was on a Thursday, then 8/21 (Friday), then 8/24 (Monday)... could see something similar (although this time the Fed already has some scheduled jawboning - they might bring out more).

If the Fed had any balls whatsoever they'd ignore the market (which is really their first mandate) and raise another 25 bps. We all know whom they answer to however.

Everything got sold because damn near everything went up this year, big boys are locking in their profits.

how do you know? maybe it is the small fry who know that the hedge fund guys are invested to the max and are getting out because liquidity favors the small orders not the large orders.

Do small orders get filled first ?
Or were you saying that liquidity exists because there are so many smaller orders that provide stability?

n. But total collapse I just don't see it. /QUOTE]

total collapse, whatever that means, does not announce itself. you will not see a total collapse in nominal terms because of helicopter money as the fed panics, in real adjusted numbers as inflation soars e.g. if inflation is 100% and your portfolio is +50% you are a loser.

no.
+no, nobody runs away from the size that small fish are offering.

Today was a good day in the market -- you could have made a killing
A seriously good day.
If the market performed like it did today...for a week or two consecutively...I would be driving a Ferrari. -- Options really dance, on days like these.

Unfortunately days like today with Vix < 14 is like asking wife "hey baby wanna do anal?" and her replying with enthusiasm "hell yeah!"
