Mkt Fag: Meta earnings "save the world!!"and muh small bidness 'assistance'-up button pushed edition

This is going in early because once no callsign Joe made his announcement regarding small bidness assistance the die was cast. You'll see some profit-taking into the last hour and barring any major news even this is where it will stay.

They are looking for ANYTHING to keep this shit-pile propped…the results on FB speak for themselves and the apologists basically write-it off by saying "expectations were low". This is a common tactic employed for decades: have these pie-in-the sky expectations and as the qtr comes to an end they quietly lower those expectations and then say "See right where WE said they would be" thus continuing to crow that they were right-but it was only for a week or two if that. And whoever had FB equity as collateral for margin loans are doing the habby dance because it's had it's "best" day is six years. The "up" button was pushed in all the the indices at right around 12:08pm EST and that even got the ^RUT out of it doldrums-can't have the Small caps index suck on the day you announce yer gonna help small business' right??

No big blocks in the NAS-at least seen't either they are hiding them better or not habbeneing in the way they were for the last 2 weeks-only two of them yesterday.

It kinda doesn't matter because all of them have the 'Muh Ukraine' excuse to fall back on…look at Alphabets 'results' and if they were so great they would not have announced a $70B stock buyback-after all Larry and Sergey still have millions of shares to unload and have been doing so at a decent clip too. https://www.shacknews.com/article/130046/google-googl-announces-70-billion-stock-buyback

>>16165819 pb >Smallcaps (^RUT) fell off a cliff several times today. Right at 10amEST it was a HALO drop that bottomed out at 10:30am and then got choppy trying to regain that drop only to have another HALO drop at 2:44pm EST-major liquidations going on here too with that type of action. It did manage to arrest it's fall somewhat starting about 40 minutes into the close. It still was the worse performer of the majors today at -5.37(-0.28%).

Same shit as yesterday…tempting the 'short bus' to get in taking the NAS and the DOW to the necklines-SP500 just above but the RUT still did a HALO drop on the open and sideways ever since-but then hold dhere nigga. They continue the absolute carnage in Ag -0.20 -0.86% and again the Gold/Silver ratio improves 81.65+1.08+1.34% quite a bit with Au not doing much-said this many times…if you habs Au CONVERT IT TO Ag-you will not be disappointed in the long run-I will keep repeating this as this is a GIFT-get whatever your local/dealer haz in stock and do not worry what the price is in $'s.

Treasury complex-see cap#3-Muh Yields surging again (but cooled off a bit) since BTFD is in full effect but this has not helped the European banks (equity valuation-wise) in fact those are at pretty much 14 month lows and down 6% since March 1st. The Argument is that they are trading way less than "book value"-that value is based on an ass-ton of derivatives at mark-to-model levels and not mark-to-market (reality).

The Germans must habs made a deal last week with those 4 trips into Dulles last week cause they are suddenly "on-board" with the embargo and were not before- >>16170256 (You) pb But as usual it remains that no target date has been set yet, or at least hasn't been disclosed publicly-some moar deals need to get "made" before that haz a chance to habben. The Polish are just buy it from the Germans who have already done the ruble conversions but dhey don't wanna tell you that.

Great article on election ballot trafficking

EXCLUSIVE: David Lara Explains The “Playbook” of Ballot Traffickers In Arizona After Discovering Ballot Mules In San Luis, AZ

April 28, 2022

The Gateway Pundit recently spoke to David Lara, an Arizona citizen who discovered a ballot trafficking “cartel” in his local community of San Luis.

We previously reported that the Arizona Attorney General received this evidence before the 2020 General Election, but he did nothing about it. RINO Mark Brnovich waited until now to investigate the stolen 2020 Election.

Court documents show that Alma Yadira Juarez, who pleaded guilty to casting ballots given to her by Guillermina Fuentes, was interviewed by prosecutors on August 6th, 2020, two months before the General Election.

Guillermina Fuentes was indicted for obtaining and voting on another person’s early ballot and forging signatures on early ballot affidavits. Alma Yadira Juarez was one of her mules.

This case of voter fraud proves that there is a coordinated criminal operation and that systematic voter fraud is real. “That’s how big this case is. Because it’s not just the voter fraud, it’s how it’s done,” said David Lara.

In the interview with Lara, he detailed his findings on the Yuma County ballot trafficking ring and the challenges he faced from RINO Republicans, including John McCain. Lara has been investigating this issue for over 20 years!

The RINOs allowed the 2020 election to be stolen and tried to thwart America First Republicans from investigating the fraud.

Lara also explains how RINO-funded nonprofits helped to traffick ballots.

David Lara: Now, what I realized in the ballot harvesting or ballot trafficking, it went back to a case in Arizona, which is Clyde Cuming v. Tony Reyes. Clyde Cuming was the supervisor for this part of the county at that time. Tony Reyes was the Democrat trying to unseat Clyde Cuming. Tony Reyes lost by 30 votes. He challenged, Tony Reyes challenged the election in the superior court here in Yuma county. And then he lost, and then he appealed it and took it all the way up to the Supreme Court. In the lawsuit, it specified that the signatures in the absentee ballots or the mail-in ballots were questionable and that the county recorder did not have the resources to verify that many ballots that fast. At that time, it was a small amount, but that caused a special election, which was two years after that. So the case in 1997, which is a state case, that’s where it actually started because then the ballot harvesters, and it started with Tony Reyes because he’s the one that challenged it, who is the current chairman of the board of supervisors in Yuma County. He’s a Democrat. When he saw the flaws in the systems and how weak it was, then from that point on in San Luis, all of the elections, or I should say most of the elections have been decided by the ballot traffickers or harvesters, and it was ground zero. Now, you can see exactly the playbook. The exact same thing that happened in the swing states in 2020, when the election was stolen from Trump, is the avalanche of mail-in ballots that kicked in at midnight or somewhere around one o’clock in the morning. This is something that has always been done in San Luis, or South County, which is also Somerton and Gadsden.

The reason they do that is the harvesters, after they gather hundreds or 1000s of ballots, they hold on to them. On election day, in the morning, they start to slowly trickle them in. And you have to remember they have a lot of people. So you have 20, 30 people, and they’re trickling in 20, 30, 5 here, and there, and so forth. Then they wait until the last hour or two, and then that’s when they unload the rest of them. The reason they do that is so that the county recorder will get flooded with an avalanche of ballots. Then they’re under the clock to verify 1000s of votes. It is impossible to verify that many signatures that fast in that short of a time. This is the way it’s always done. I mean, it’s well thought out. I mean, the system is perfect.

Mkt Fag: Slow motion train wreck in aisle Oh Fuq-TSLA share sales and reality of using that as collateral for loans edition

First some reality on the Musk purchase of Twatter---this is what it faces and since TSLA moves around moar than 7% on many days he is on thin-ice using this much as collateral.

This got bigger from last night. >>>/qrsearch/16174014 pb Tesla Inc sold by Elon Musk: $3.98B-April 26,27

It was up almost the entire day and HOD was $934.40 but dropped steadily throughout the day into the close and then closed red for the day at $870.76-6.75 (-0.77%). This is going to be a problem soon as 7% is nothing in this equity and all it takes is a cooperative Market Maker to send it there. Still remains to be seen how many shares "show up" to be tendered as in moar than have been issued because I think this will also be a problem as it exposes the corrupt DTCC, SEC as the dindu crew. It approximately $33.76 above the threshold for the below scenario to play out--as previously stated that is NUFFIN in this equity.

Spare me the "he is funding the Twatter acquistion purchase" -WELL AWARE of that-this is the reality of using his TSLA as collateral for the loans.

Musk Sells About $8.5 Billion in Tesla Stock After Twitter Deal

'excerpt

Before his most recent share sales, the Tesla co-founder had about $3 billion in cash and investments to cover that $21 billion commitment, according to Bloomberg calculations. The recent disposals bring that total to about $11.5 billion. But as a result of the trades, Musk has fewer shares to cover his margin loan, which has an initial loan-to-value ratio of 20%. That means he’ll need to post Tesla shares worth $62.5 billion when it’s funded so that means the ARKK fund is going to see some 'issues' when that habbens. Key pointIf the electric carmaker’s share price drops under $837 or roughly about 7% below where it is currently he won’t own enough stock to secure the loan. The shares traded as low as $821.70 as recently as Thursday.The calculations assume he can’t post shares related to Tesla options because the collateral needs to be “free of any lock-up or selling restrictions,” according to a filing. The options he owns convert to shares that can’t be sold for five years.

Watch what happens to ARKK ETF as it has TSLA as it's largest holding.

Futures indicated and open of about -158 on DOW, NAS -179 and SP500 -44 and opened dhat way-expected after yesterdays 'rescue' of the ^RUT-they panicked big time with the announcement on small biz assistance and the action on Weds with the HALO drops twice in it (major liquidations going on) confirmed the reaction that they had to do-they were being dumped HARD-and it still going on so it had ONE day of respite as it's fallen and can't get up-. Brought it up to the neckline and if you shorted dhat GOOD FOR YOU NIKKA you should have had your exit plan made on that entry too-and a nice exit would have been right at 10:48AM EST-because you can always get back in-bank it and don't "wait" for the juice to arrive-that is the essence of trading successfully. Big block showed up @ 10:52am and it was reported as a sale 1.17B-and it bounced a little and I would punched outta the 'short bus' then watched it try to get going again and then re-shorted HARD at about 11:54am cause it DONE and over just before that. This is the time of day 'they" come in and help it as Europe closes at 11:30am EST so you have to be careful for that (cough, ESF) but if held on you still doing fine because it did not make a higher high after that one at 11:04am and got tired. I write these reports as this action occurs so this is not with the benefit of hindsight that is why they are quite comprehensive as the action is captured as it occurs-look at the time stamps of the articles I include for proof this is done as it occurs. The FED released it's personal consumption expenditures price index inflation reading (PCE) and as expected it was "not as bad as it could have been".....it rose 5.2% instead of 5.3%.....hilarious. This is ON FIRE-the inflation gauge jumped 6.6% in March from the previous year, beating out last month's measurement of 6.3% to become the fastest pace since 1981. But muh headlines still say "it beat"....by a 1/10th of a pt...some "beat"...kek. >>>/qresearch/16176301 pb (ty for FRED graph anon)

It may last a day or two but this is heading lower (or it should based on it's subs losses and cash burn rate) After starting the month with a panic-bid, Nasdaq ended April down almost 13%, its worst month since Oct 2008. On the week, Small Caps were the worst (closely followed by Nasdaq) and that followed the puke last Friday. The S&P's 3.6% puke is the worst day since June 2020 (as AMZN plunged 14% - its worst day since July 2006) FANG stocks have lost over $1.6 trillion in market capitalization since their peak over $5 trillion in Nov 2021

The funds have reportedly been channeled to the London branch of Citibank but it’s unclear whether they will reach their intended recipients. The payments were due to be made in April and had entered a 30-day grace period before official default on May 4.

Muh ¥ is back below 130/USD back down to 129.88-0.94 -0.72% from previous close @ ¥130.82 but that is just temporary imo because the Yen-carry trade has much to do with keeping this system propped before during and after the 2008 mkt event so this is by no means done at all.
