Yesterday, the S&P and Nasdaq bounced hard off the pre-payrolls level from Aug 1st. From the moment US cash equity markets closed yesterday, stocks have been dropping back. But now, thanks to this:
SIKORSKI: RUSSIAN UNITS POISED TO PRESSURE OR INVADE UKRAINE SIKORSKI: RUSSIAN INCURSION WOULD BE HUGE ESCALATION OF CRISIS SIKORSKI WARNS RUSSIA ON IMPACT OF CONVENTIONAL WAR IN EUROPE
The Dow, S&P and now Nasdaq have tumbled below yesterday's lows, eradicating all the post-payrolls gains in stocks. Treasury yields are tumbling (5bps off highs) and gold and silver and rising.
All payrolls gains gone...

Putin may decide he’d like to take over France and Germany. We certainly are not going to do anything about it.
Yee-Haw!
Putin will wait until Obama and his Admin go on Vacation ,he knows they’ll stay on vacation ,but will any of the Obama Admin watch the News while on vacation
It’s time for a correction, anyways.................
“SIKORSKI: RUSSIAN UNITS POISED TO PRESSURE OR INVADE UKRAINE”
I think Putin is putting pressure on Kiev with this. I don’t think he will invade, unless Kiev starts massively bombarding Donetsk, which is a real possibility, IMO.
Kiev is growing increasingly desperate, they are running out of money and time, and now are resorting to using ever larger weapons against civilian targets.
A large force on the border makes them think very hard about what the consequences of their next move might be.
ies also Transnistria to think about. There have been claims of “Ukrainian provacations” on the border, an TN issued an official statement about it.
Translated by Google:
Committee for State Security PMR has operational information about the intentions of nationalist Ukrainian citizens to carry armed provocation on the border between Transnistria and Ukraine. It is planned to carry out an attack on the locations of the Border between Ukraine and the territory of Transnistria armed group in uniforms of the Armed Forces of the TMR.
The result of this provocation can become an armed conflict between Transnistria and Ukraine.
KGB PMR refers to all persons, regardless of where they live, which have information on this or any other facts possible provocative acts of sabotage on the Transnistrian-Ukrainian border, with a request to immediately inform the helpline 00 (373) 533 - 57070. Privacy guaranteed.

IMO, Kiev desperately needs something that will trigger a western intervention, something they have been trying to get since this began.
Screwing with TransNistria may be another attempt by Kiev to get the Russians to do something, which would trigger western intervention as a response.
In other news: America has been successfully invaded by El Salvador
Zero hedge had become Stormfront 2
Why would Putin even consider invading the Ukraine after Obama told him not to do it? Doesn’t he realize that if he does, Obama will respond by expressing deep concern?
They haven’t plunged far enough — that means that they are not convinced that an invasion is imminent. It’s just saber-rattling.
Hey, Obama has a pen and a phone. He will show his extreme displeasure with Putin by declaring an unconstitutional amnesty.
Obama already unfriended Putin. How much worse can it get?
The Obama Administration is also considering the following actions in response to Putin's agression:
Joe Biden will call a nearby pizza place, pretend to be Putin, and have a dozen pizzas sent to his house.
Secretary of State John Kerry will repeatedly call Putin and ask if he has Prince Albert in a can.
An agent attached to the U.S. Embassy will leave a bag full of dog poop on Putin's door step, light it on fire, then ring the door bell and run.
I really don’t think international events affect stocks. They have ignored them during this rally so why now?
What would it take for Obama to cut short his latest Martha’s Vineyard vay-cay?
I recently moved all my IRAs to conservative stance. My 401k is next.
Im supposed to hate Russia because of Øbama’s economy ?
Russia and the cold weather,,, what next?
You are so right.
A one-percent blink is a “plunge”—b.s.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think the market is on solid ground at all.
But a 10% drop would be little more than a hiccup.
When it nose-dives past 10,000-—that’s when things will get interesting.
Time for the O to place Putin on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!!!
