Behold The VIX Splattergram
Presenting the VIX. Or rather, highlighting the grotesque and blatant last second "banging the close" of the VIX. Thank you Simon Potter and your protege, Kevin Henry, for providing countless hours of sideline entertainment, and lamentation for what was once a stock market.

Flawless dive. 10/10
Not even mark in the water...
...and embedded head-first in the concrete bottom of the pool.
Can you be both balls-to-the-wall and face-to-the-floor at once, Mr. Tepper?
still 2 full points to go before they are back to december 2006 low in VIX......still have to get the S&P 500 to new all-time nominal/psychological high
I think the disconnect between Wall Street and the real world is well represented by the VIX "fear index" thrusting to near all-time lows today while North Korea scraps the armistice and threatens nuclear war against South Korea and its American protectorate.

Perfect manic insanity.

Kevin may have really nailed VIX today but he left the trannies alone. Maybe a change in taste or just after diversity?
Reminds me of a "flawless victory" from Mortal Kombat, when you didn't get hit at all and you ended up ripping the other dude's spine out.
It can also mean you took a shit and didn't have to wipe.
Both apply well to this situation.
Nah, getting a Flawless Victory was frickin cool. This market is like losing $30 in quarters getting your arms ripped off by Goro over and over again.
They keep this shit up and there will be "dead people" where there were once financial "wizards". These freaks are pushing it just a bit too fucking far. There may end up being all kinds of "splattergrams" all over Wall and Broad, board rooms and there rest. People WILL get pissed when it bites far enough, and judging from the food stamps, and number of UE and those getting gov't. benefits, will be curtailed soon. Means? REVOLUTION BABY!
We are on the "eve of destruction".
I hope it all blows up in their faces. It may be painful fom me and the rest of "regular folk", but it is absolutely LETHAL for these manipulating sick psycho fucks! they WILL be taken "out back" and dealt with once SHTF,a nd nobody will come to their aid.
Waiting for that day, when these freaks get their comeuppance.
I thought up an interesting addition to the "Fed's foot on the gas pedal" analogy. They've been stomping on it the whole time, while pushing the Nitro button and tweaking the turbos, but maybe the "engine" is finally topping out. And there frankly is nothing more that can be done except stay at this max speed until engine blows, or let off.
Either way, permanent damage has been done.
Yep.

You will have a long wait my friend. No one will take anyone out back and do shit. like lemmings of the past they will line up in the snow passively waiting for a slice of bread and a dollop of soup. Nobody yet has gone to jail for high crimes and treason and nobody will. We are nothing more than fodder for kings and princes and prove it daily. Yeah, it pisses me off too.

Dumps the Vix, Rips the ES, Jenga!
The stag just keeps on flation'ing.
Simply amaaaaaaaaazing.
No please it is not amazing my friends!!! they are creating 5 billion a day of money out of thin air... What do you expect, the DJI will keep on going up, and that is what will trigger the crisis. DJI 100,000, imagine how the people of fixed income will feel about the safety of their investment? Now imagine what happens in between where the DJI is now and where it will get with the FOMC printing and printing and OBAMBANKE spending and spending, and the 48 million on food stamps spending them mostly on sodas that create dislipidemia that leads to infarcts and heart failure and obamacare charging the few remaining working with the bill for taking care of these people...
Oh, by the way, since the fixed income market is way bigger than the stocks markets, imagine what will happen with the DJI and the positive feedback loop that this will create...
Until next time,
Engineer
VIX<10 is the new DOW 10,000 hat of the 90's
AAPL ramp was also strategically executed at precisely when the market was about to roll over.
This a conditio sine qua none, coze otherwise markets wouldn't move higher. Force majeure!
Hey, risk on. :) UNTIL IT'S, SUDDENLY, BACK OFF!
No shit
Did it die?
I always wanted a reason to say this.
As I've been saying, anybody who believes that bankers own the gov should be expecting to have a lot of volatility because that's how the bankers make money.
The Fed supressing volatility = 50% unemployment in the financial sector.
Do you guys still believe that the Fed will never unwind? It it continues like this, bye bye wall street.
Good point, you have alot of those.
Thx a lot
Bye bye wall street has already been happening, with the predictable run-up on stocks, there's zero need for analysts anymore, or brokers for that matter. I'm seeing research groups in some of the larger TBTFs (especially European banks with a US presence) getting shut down wholesale (some of these guys are clients of mine, so it becomes painfully obvious when every CC on an email bounces back recipient unknown.)
Your feedback from the trenches is very much appreciated.
FONZ, read this one from SEEK
Believe me ekm, I see the layoffs. They are relentless. The irony is the bank stock prices. They keep going up because the layoffs are seen improving margins. BAC will be a hundred dollar stock when Moynehan is the one who turns the lights on in the morning and off in the evening.
I think that BAC has gone higher because the other primary dealers have bought BAC stocks with Fed money. It's not much money, anyway.
that's already been the case for a while
tha amount of funds which outperform the base index is very small. and that's before you pay your 2 and 20.
when i started saving for retirement, i put 50% in the FTSE100. the saleswoman was trying rather agressively to get other ideas in my head - since i was young, i should invest in more risky assets. no doubt she was secretly crying over the loss of commission.
ah well.
Interesting theory, but if I had to choose between betting on volatility or having someone just hand me a shitload of money, risk-free, I'd stick with the latter.
When they banged that close, my TNA holding shot up too. Cool. You learn to expect this crap and profit from it.
"And I become death, destroyer of VIX."
Maybe a top in the morning with a VIX 10 handle and S&P testing the high and failing, or maybe not.
And if my aunt had nuts she'd be my uncle.
I've always wondered if that joke confuses people who have a gay uncle who married a man.
Aww...c'mon...you know thatr gay marriage doesn't really count...
cue the "This time is different" meme
Splattergram looks like a 60 yr old dude w/o viagra staring at roseanne barr.
ouuuuuuuuuuuuuch
That's what you get when you play in a casino with all the fun and fancy derivative games all under the guise of "investing"
Why act so shocked? Why care at all really?
Word is, at this year's NY Fed Xmas party there's going to be karaoke and Simon Potter's going to do a cover version of The Prodigy classic
"Smack My Bitch Up" but his version will be "Smack my VIX Up".
Astonishing brashness of manipulation is Growing larger.For this reason and it's frequency and depth,I gotta think the pretend structure wobbling!
Get in there and BUY retail sheeples! We got to pass off the bubble somehow or other, so we're pumping at least 50 DOW points daily trying to create another buble mania! BUY BUY BUYYYY you muppets whats WRONG with you!!
I've got like $50. How much AAPL that buy me man. At least let me lick the bag, just that much gotta be worth somethin to ya. Come on man, I gotta get my fix, I'll suck yo dick for a spot of VIX.
Must. Buy. The Bubble. *gasp....wheeeeeze*
Yay! My credit spreads just increased in value!
