Flash dumping Apple in de laatste seconde

Sure, the retail "investors" are coming back into the "markets"... They are coming back in shifts.  And just so they know what to expect, here is what happened to Apple stock in the last second of regular trading today, courtesy of Nanex. Unlike traditional flash crashes where the trade is an HFT error, or a few shares traded through the entire bid or offer stack, in this case it looks like a very premeditated unloading of some 800K shares (some $350 million worth) of AAPL in the last second, with the full knowledge it was shake the market. Why anyone would want (or wait until the very last second) to do that, while covering the offsetting ES SHORT in the pair trade, to ramp the market into the close, is anyone's guess.

Beleggers bereiken euforisch niveau

Het kan niet op, het is feest op de beurzen. Maar we verkeren niet in een euforische economische toestand, waarom dan wel een euforische financiële toestand. Simpel! Er is op dit moment niets waar we ons zorgen over maken. En dat op zich is al een immens verschil met de laatste jaren.

Kit Juckes van SocGen legt het uit als volgt: The reality is that we are SHORT of things to worry about and long of liquidity which tends to weaken the resolve of any bear. We hebben te weinig om ons zorgen over te maken en teveel liquiditeit om de vastberadenheid van de beer te verzwakken.

On Monday, we updated readers that the SHORTage appeared to be spreading to Canadian Maples, as wholesale premiums had been raised several times throughout the day.

On Monday, we updated readers that the SHORTage appeared to be spreading to Canadian Maples, as wholesale premiums had been raised several times throughout the day.

As we now have a confirmed SHORTage in the 2 most popular official silver coins, look for premiums to continue rising in the silver maples, as well as to spill over into other retail products such as 1 oz rounds, 10 oz bars, and 90% coins. 

With silver demand skyrocketing while the metal continues its now 21 month consolidation, look for absolutely monstrous demand to surface as the next leg of the bull market kicks into gear over the next 6-12 months, particularly as silver clears $40 and again nears its all time nominal highs of $50.

BoE: Lloyds en RBS hebben miljarden extra kapitaal nodig

UK regulators have given Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group until March to begin dealing with a black hole that Brooks Newmark, a Tory member of the Treasury Select Committee, suggested could be as large as £30bn.

Bank officials refused to quantify the capital SHORTfall in evidence to the TSC yesterday, but they confirmed it was substantial. Michael Cohrs, a member of the Bank’s Financial Policy Committee, said it was “a big number” while Andy Haldane, the Bank’s executive director for financial stability, agreed it was “material”.

Kunnen financials Wall Street op sleeptouw nemen?

Deze week zijn de grootbanken de trekkers van de bedrijfsresultaten op Wall Street. Vandaag wordt de spits afgebeten door JP Morgan Chase en daarna volgen dag na dag netjes op een rij Goldman Sachs, Bank of America en Morgan Stanley. 4 dagen en 4 banken dus.
