Word Of The Day: UP, As In Stocks, Bonds And VIX
S&P 500 futures are up a healthy 9 points seemingly on the basis that bad-is-good and EUR or JPY are driving correlating-algos. But, it's not just the equity market that is 'Up' - VIX (the hedging vehicle) is 'Up'... Treasury bonds (the anti-risk vehicle) are 'Up'... and Swiss short-dated bonds (the EU safe-haven) are 'Up'... all makes perfect sense to someone we are sure.

Well, one thing that is down is my account balance....
I was UP this morning, but my girlfriend fixed that.
LOL
This has been awful. My dividend payers are obliterated. My corporate bonds are bitchslapped. My short hedge sucks and the only thing keeping it from being a full blown hemmorage is my miners. Go fucking figure.
Yeah, high dividend 'low beta' plays are crowded. Buying the 'lowest risk' stocks and outpacing the S&P can't last forever.
Edit: dupe post
srsly?
You could have been writing covered calls from decently priced stocks and never had to worry about "hold me bribes" aka dividends.
We need a dip today. We will get it. Watch and see.
anything with a div already started dipping
You are not alone. All my fiat belongs to Toyota service
There once was a man with two dicks
Who thought that he should own the VIX
The market it dropped
The VIX really popped
now he needs both hands for kicks.
Reminds me of an old saying i heard in my yewt.. One hand washes the other and both hands wash the cock
Let us not forget the other UP for today................GOLD! At least for now.
Daytraders alert: TSLA @ 1:30pm today.
what will happen at 1:30?
TSLA ==> special announcement from Iron Man at 1.30pm today.
As long as the fed keeps the floodgates open, there is no reason for stocks not to raise any further.
18% in 5 months is a performance that nobody can deny.
Yes, two other things you can't deny; 1) you can't claim a profit or realize a gain unless you sell and 2) interest costs are very real to the taxpayer, so how does CONgress keep the monetization party going if yields rise?
Tick tock motherfuckers...
that nobody can deny
nobody can deny!
for he's a jolly good printer,
he's a jolly good printer...
WTI: from zero to hero. Made me spit my coffee out faster than a Banzai artwork.
Its always the same, down on no news and later up on controversial (crude storage is higher than expected). the only thing in this game is to know the time the switch will happen...
The other way 'round it's the same.

Of course it makes perfect sense! There is no "down" in the market anymore. It was found to be disruptive and has been abolished. How dare you question the meme? Your thoughtcrime has been noted and you will be scheduled for re-education. Heretic. Unbeliever. Terrorist. Citizen. Whatever.
No charts are needed anymore. Simply state the obvious.
"Irrational divergences occured today in the markets."
"Fed Reserve and Central Bankers at fault."
"S&P, Dow, NASDAQ, Russell 2000 all ended green."
Rinse, wash, repeat.
Snooze.
Google finance has NBG down -40%. FINVIZ has NBG up +493%. Why not?? Almost 'makes sense' on a day like today. Up is down. Down is up. (NBG 1:10 reverse split today.)
interesting charts: silver vs gold (paper), brent vs wti. So, who will be right for tonights Asia-session?
And from somewhere a single word comes into my mind - options.
