    Default Futures Flash Crash As ES Plummets To Limit Down

    No, really, there is a big, huge, massive rotation out of those dangerous, inflationary bonds into safe, predictable equities...

    What does the "ES" stand for these days?
    • Negativity is ignorance, and ignorance is your own personal tyranny. It tells you how to act, how to talk, how to think, and what to feel. You will never see a world without tyrants until you release your own. ~Honored to be Among You

    How does Ron stay so calm?

    Whatever happened seems to have been over in just a few minutes. Trading glitch? Expiring options?

    ZH said it was a transfer from bonds to equities.

    I was actually hoping people here would clarify that.

    Doesn't quite look like a flash crash to me. I would say that this was mostly planned selling. By that I mean many were waiting on the results of the fiscal cliff clown circus. I am sure a lot of algorithmic groups had automation ready to sell or buy on any signs of momentum.

    Looking at the charts, if it was somebody moving out of bonds to equities it looks like they bought back in right away. I can't find any information suggesting the other side of the equation- that bond yields were soaring due to bonds being sold. Doesn't seem to have happend as it was described. I don't know what the charts are supposed to be showing.
