To: Crimson Ghost who wrote (3731 ) 11/14/2008 10:59:17 AM From: LTK007 Respond to of 3906 i noted a rare divergence last night and i see it carried over to now. As asia was up on average of 3% last nught and DAX and FTSE were 4+% the U.S. futures were roughly -1.5% all night, indicating the ferocious run up yesterday was a HOLLOW event. Because all night money was going into Asia and European market, and even then PWG could not get our Futures to mirror the run up in Asia and Europe(lagged by 5%!). These HOLLOW SUPER FAST run ups as yesterday are helping a few but driving many away from this market. The ridiculous part is CNBC and BTV always report Investrors are coming back, the worst is over and never say, this weird, what's really going on. They actually report as if the ticker is now measuring what is going on with JQP and market. In news bulletin sent at close yesterday in my e-mail states(and they are at the center of things, here what others here inside the WS world, this might be correct). a hearsay news spread fast through the street the The AutoIndustry Bail Out was a done deal, and congress will pass it Tuesday. And this caused shorts to rush to cover. These tricks are commonplace on WS. TSR said they did not think this rally will have much length and use it to sell. But they did think it would follow through today--but thus far it has NOT! even though Europe and Asia was strongly green. This COULD mean money is seeing better equity value now in Asia and Europe than in U.S. and going that direction. But CG, what i am trying to convey, all our rallies have been vacuous, and hugely over done, and it has something not to do with Institutional investors nor JQP. It is the massive wars between the machines and what i have been have written as i simply visualize how one would set these programs and realize they can do like 10 operations SIMULTANOUSLY(far far far far far beyond the human's brain capacity) The machines see EVERYTHING, they see how much is shorted and by who, and of what, and also see the stop cover orders. The machines can gather massive amounts of data run off complex calculations in seconds, that would take floor traders a MONTH to calculate:) Set off a rumour to trigger the shorts at 821, and SQUEEZE HARD---SPX, voila up 90 points from 821 to 911 as the incredible trading/ calculating machines do all the rest. <b.You like science fiction, and know stuff that has been written long ago about the rule by the super computers. i write this, for in that i feel, sci-fi, as ever anticipates the future and that future has ARRIVED. And no where are the machines more deeply embedded into the markets than in the U.S. market place. Max
