Just saw the futures make a very dramatic turnaround...from -280 to mildly positive.

I figured the negatives were because of Japan...did something happen to turn the futures around?

Soros did say he “expected” another 3 months of good times before SHTF

I lost my shirt on the slots at the casino last week, but this morning, I hit 2-cherries on the first pull...

(Not really - I don’t go to the casino any more — but the metaphor holds... ;))

Looks like the Plunge Protection Team jumped in early.

The -280 was Dow futures, the Market had not opened here yet. It’s showing up by 16.84 points. But not for long, thanks Omuslim!

Agreed... it’s just too soon in the timeline for a precipitous drop. It’s scheduled for further into the Fall timeframe.

So, will they have anything left at 2 this afternoon when all the same problems exist with all the same idiots making them worse with every “solution” they come up with?

Are you sure you were looking at futures and not Friday’s close?

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Where did you see the DJIA futures on Monday morning down 280?

That would have been a misprint.

I suspect what you are quoting is the DJIA futures from Friday’s trading.

I was wondering the same thing actually. Radio was announced some -250 on the futures...now show nearly the same gains? Rather odd.

Electronic trading searching for fractions of a cent returns can drive the market up or down as retail trading has pretty much disappeared. The computer program results are what you are seeing on the DOW at large.

[no-to-illegals]

Taking a guess, and typing market is being propped up by an infusion of cash from overseas or an infusion of a hidden monetary stimulus within wall street from stimulus money set aside for a time when a prop would be necessary. One would have thought today would be a day when a prop would be necessary, BUT truly have no idea why market would go up unless wall street knows zer0 is gone after the November election and have not shared that fact with anyone but themselves.

It’s Monday, we’ve opened up the last 3 Mondays off of bad Fridays.

We’ll see if it holds through the day. Even if it does it might be a good time for selling or going short.

That was ‘left over’ from Friday...They dont trade over the weekend.

They jumped in Friday night after the market closed, and they have been working around the clock since then to keep it propped up. Two -2% days in a row are strictly forbidden.

What, you think that the PPT doesn't buy and sell futures?
