Epic VIX Slams Sparks Buying Panic In Stocks
Nasdaq and S&P back into the green for the week... Dow back into the green for the year...
mission accomplished (but a little premature). And all it took was an options-expiration debacle-driven collapsed in VIX...
Who could have seen that coming?
VIX < 13 ahead of 3:30 pm

Can't help but feel this is a little premature to last
Bonds ain't buying it...

just more "market efficiencies"
The VIX is fuckin useless...its just another index instrument for these financial manipulators to use to keep propping up this gong show...honestly, just take this VIX out of its misery....
It looks like the XIV should be the core of any portfolio since it is clearly a tool used to ramp the markets.

Yup, looks like it fonzy. Its a core holding of every jobless student and pension less grannies who makes money day trading.
Even the Vicks VaporRub is more useful that the VIX.
Pound the VIX
How is this a healthy market?
Time for plan reset
Epic.....
Massive....
Pinto!
Who, or what group of who, actually pounds the VIX?
That would be the banksters. They evidently do have full control of the markets now.
How do they coordinate this shit? I assume that this isn't just one bank doing the buying (or suppressing).

Plastic cups tied together with string.
And semaphore for the audio challenged...
LOL! Braile Morse code. ;) Feel the bumps coming in off the wires.
NSA & insider trading. They see all the trades & all your accounts to know what you might trade or have pending orders for. They know where to strike.
They know when I am short.
Algos talk to each other.
Every Friday this shit happens without fail
Maybe you should tell that guy @Not_Jim_Cramer that his long-term VIX chart is no longer required... Full Disclosure, was he short VIX too? Joke is on us, right? Good times, good times.
Fake market pull backs, the gift that keeps on giving.
Johnny does it again!:

every day a bear trap is set.
This is getting stupid.
I think we crossed stupid a while ago...
Were entering the,,,,,,FUCKING INSANE!
What's the definiton of insanity "doing the same thing but expecting a different outcome"?
I am insane
buying pressure resumes at 3:30 after a short 20 mins to catch its breath on that uphill sprint.
VXX new lifetime low. Amazing chart 7,700 to 36.60
nicely chosen name.
I'd be a rich man if I actually did what it says
lol VIX. I was looking at the Google Finance home page and how every stock I'm watching (but don't own) is red. Then I see the VIX is down as well. How does that work?
options prices set the VIX. When the options are unusually skewed so the puts and the calls don't actually match up to the 'middle' at the money price, that happens. VIX, HVU, UVXY, VXX get pricing from the options rather than FAZ for example just being a market-inverse index.

meh. spy x hvu 1/11 = 219 for trend, = 217.26 for now
188.07 x 4.89 1/11
Given that for the same SPY price you could see HVU (or UVXY, around 9.1x HVU but in USD) go up another 9% to 10%.
With markets dropping a much higher increase.

That was a fucking world class run up. The charts of all the indices are almost like a vertical wall starting around 230pm
who's doing the vix slam?
none other than our very own big eared, traitor in chief, obozo.
you see, everytime the vix goes down by 1 point, obozo's ratings go up by 1 basis point.
the big eared man child likes to invite over ol yeller to play vix slam in their pajamies. kind of like nintendo.
after market close, mr. michael obozo changes ol yellen's depends and obozo's diaper before putting both miscreants down for nappy time.
this gives mr. michael obozo time to catch up on his studies. studies like, muslim brotherhood 101, killing children with drones 102 and transgendered studies 169.
the only slam there is when he's with reggie. this is beyond him, way beyond.
When will this sh*t end and criminal prosecution start?
How many books on stock market corruption does Michael Lewis have to write?
How obvious does the corruption and manipulation have to be? Can it get any more blatant?
Is there any decent human f*cking being in charge of this mad house with a minimal sense of common decency and honesty that will put as stop to this? Isn't there one dammed person who will go after these shysters?
It's becoming incomprehensibly corrupted, even for something that was always somewhat manipulated.
Paper volatility, paper Gold, paper Silver - zero tangibles or fundamentals.
What you may not be aware of is this shit just catapulted European futures up with it, Switzerland for example just hit an ATH !!!! and the underlying market is obviously closed, loads of European shorts taken out as well because of this same shit every night.
I'm almost hoping Vlad invades with the whole fucking red army so this shit would gap down 1000 points Sunday!
2 o'clock pump, vix slammed, pm's hammered = is the new norm and has been and will be until the guillotine are rolled out.
quit complaining get on the right side of the trade
How does the SEC not see this corruption. Oh that's right, they don't care.
lol the sec, those guys. they are in cahoots with tribe cartels along time ago.
Synchronistically complicit.
NO! NO! The DOW went up? NO! NO! Quick, SOW more fear. SOW more panic. QUICK! Quick! More negative headlines! We need more panic words. more SMASH. more COLLAPSE. MORE PANIC! Quick, get on the conspiracy theory generator. I want a GOOOOd obama federal reserve perhaps walmart thrown in there conspircy theory. Pictures of Tanks? Throw them in there too. We need help FAST!
CAN SOMEONE STOP THIS MADDRESS OF POSITIVE MARKET MOVEMENT?
Our freedom depends on it.
T'aint good, t'aint bad. Taint.
In fairness, the VIX should be trading single digits considering the risk of downside continuation from these levels is basically zero what with all the manipulation of the market and the fact that S&P 2000+ at the end of this year is a given.
Once again ZH conflates effect with cause, and fails, but of course it serves the narrative of a nonsensical broken market.
Over the years we have witnessed the type of market reversal the big banks supported by the Fed can generate with a concerted effort to buy S&P 500 index futures at crucial support points late in the day. This has proved more than enough to turn the markets from red to green in the blink of an eye.
Even a bad report on job creation is twisted and spun as to mean more Federal Reserve support for easy money policies and a reason to rally the market. It seems no suggestion of weakness no matter how subtle can exist because it may begin to unravel the already fragile consumer confidence. More on this subject in the article below.
