Fed ATM open up for all...

FED: WE STAND READY TO PROVIDE LIQUIDITY TO ELIGIBILE INSTITUTIONS.
QT is over. Inflation's here to stay.

Ok guys and gals the Fed is printing again and tech is responding. It is hooked on Fed liquidity. So I’d appreciate it if y’all can hold this together tomorrow and next week as I take the Fam to St. John for 9 days. Tia
Just buy calls and have a nice trip! ?
 
 

The new normal is central bank coordination to backstop every facit of the financial system and the economy. This ultimately leads to government control over everything. In the meantime, institutions can make whatever poor decisions they want and they'll just get propped up, backstopped, or taken over. No big deal. Probably a big green day in the stock market tomorrow.
 
Credit Sussie..

UBS Group AG is emerging as a rare winner in Credit Suisse Group AGs crisis after a historic, government-brokered deal that contains a raft of financial shock absorbers.

Government backstop helps clinch an emergency weekend deal
UBS plans to shrink investment bank, significant cost cuts..
-------------

An emergency ordinance, a government backstop, and shareholders coming out better than some bondholders: UBS Group AGs government-brokered deal to buy Credit Suisse Group AG is historic, complex and unique.
Among the biggest losers in the shotgun sale of Credit Suisse Group AG are investors in the firms riskiest bonds, known as AT1s, worth $17 billion.

These money managers are set to be wiped out potentially sending that $275 billion market for bank funding into a tailspin, while threatening blowback for European policy makers in crisis-fighting mode.

Money managers are frantically poring through the fine print for these so-called additional tier 1 securities to understand if authorities in other countries could repeat what the Swiss government did on Sunday: Wiping them out while preserving $3.3 billion of value for equity investors. Thats not supposed to be the pecking order, some holders in the bonds insist.

This just makes no sense, said Patrik Kauffmann, a fixed-income portfolio manager at Aquila Asset Management, who holds the notes. Shareholders should get zero because its crystal clear that AT1s are senior to stocks.

One UK bank CEO put it even more bluntly: The Swiss have killed this key corner of funding for lenders, he said, asking not to be named because the situation is sensitive. His comments underscore how the global financial community is on edge after the UBS takeover of Credit Suisse, which came on the heels of the collapse of three regional US banks.
 
$AAPL closed at a 6-month high. Meanwhile banks still very very weak.

What options are they considering? Tax increases, increased fees on banks (passed on to customers) or print more money? Need to stop with bailouts, sometimes got to burn the underbrush but that'll never happen because some billionaires might lose a few million. Especially those that contribute big funds to politicians

 
Looks like BRICS is aligning on the Yuan as their Petrodollar. -> Putin-“We support using the Chinese yuan in transactions between Russia and the countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. I am sure that these forms of transactions in yuan will be developed between the Russian partners and their counterparts in other countries.”
 
S&P futs with a nice breakout...ema's tightened up.

With some banks literally failing and we have our markets ripping. Go figure...

GameStop actually crushed their earnings report. They are profitable for the first time in years. They probably are sitting on more cash than actual banks are.
 
Been swinging this week and been nice...but I'm out now. Q's is up 7 out of 8 days, up 18% on the year...right where it got rejected ($311-$313) a few weeks ago. So many expect market to correct after FOMC...I guess unless they cut rates.

$NVDA up 82% on the year, 150% from it's lows and it just reported 21% decline in yoy revenues. It's almost $700B market cap with $25B in annual rev...28x sales. You would have thought stuff like this wouldn't happen anymore after last year.

SPY rejected hard into that trendling resistance...I have no clue what market is going to do. Just sitting and watching...

Would think $380 coming…I got out of the way at lunch and no fomo short or long

Ugly daily.

Brutal gap up if you went home short...they never make it easy. The one trade that has worked this year is buying tech.

They aren't playing fair...shorts are trapped now and getting squeezed hard. I did long Tesla at $195.50 in pm and trimmed most at $197.66. Hate chasing anything else here but they aren't giving anything back and shorts are stuck.

Just in awe of what they are doing to this market...they waterfalled everything yesterday into the close and then huge gap up and just relentless buying. Shorts got trapped big timing.

$NFLX closed on the dead lows yesterday, with a lot of things, some news came out and there you go...shorts trapped.

Days like today is a reminder why I rarely rarely short...I would be looking for the nearest ledge to fling myself off if I came in short today.
