Spot The Ticking Time-Bomb
One of these things is not like the other...
While fundamentals long ago lost any validity with regard the nominal level and risk of US equities, a disconnect in global asset-class volatility cannot last long in a globally-interconnected carry-trading world...
* * *
Are FX and rates markets - notably much more professional-based and considerably bigger than the US equity market - starting to price in the turbulence historically associated with the end of Fed QE periods?

Let's light her up.
I like this one, too. I think it was the fine Sir Ebworthen that threw this up awhile back, History Repeating feat: Miss Shirley Bassey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzLT6_TQmq8
Thanks infinity8, love that one. Shirley Bassey is hot. History repeating for sure.
Thank you. That cut is hot, couldn't get it out of my head. That kid was hustlin' the drums and the horns are alright too. And, Shirley, well. . .
More like this, maybe:

Been rewatching these of late for the first time since I was 8 or 9 yrs old. Odd tales of society being infiltrated by ruthless creatures bent on destruction and enslavement. HA! like that could ever happen, ...oh, wait.
I say let the bomb rip and pick up the pieces later
I have often wondered if FX manipulation was 'exposed' precisely to ensure a scapegoat when the ships of state hit the rocky fiat outcroppings that lay dead ahead.
Ever since Goldman got out of high frequency trading, my money is on that as the scapegoat
Meh..... We've reached a permanently high plateau. Speaking of high, time for another shot of Crown.
Was thinking a bowl and a beer, personally.
Right there with ya, brah.
Everclear.
I have that up long ago, but I'm with you in spirit.
Doctor, you should know that the Crown is much more poisonous than the herb. If you have to drop, 4 aspirin, 3 hours before you are 2 pee. Ask a chemist.
It never had anything to do with poison. Married with children my friend, married with children.
Sorry, er. . . congrats? Enjoy and, try not to hurt yourself too badly. Or, move your practice to one of a small, but growing, number of states maybe.

Yeah, but do you drink?
Oops! Your comment disappeared.
What comment? He never had a comment. I think you're high.
You're right. But I'm pretty sure your comment would still be funny even if I wasn't! So There!
Time for some October stock volatility looks like.
glad I live in Thailand and I am well stocked.....
Is there something wrong with that chart? Everything looks normal to me.
Don't think drink.
FX is getting beat over the head with the ugly stick.
The games central bankers are playing in supporting their and other currencies has reached a dangerous level, we may be in the "red zone". Currencies are important chips in the commerce of government and the business of running a country.
History has shown that in the past both leaders and governments have fallen with the demise of their coin. If people lose faith in the system it could just come crashing down around our ears. At a time when billions of dollars can be traded in just the blink of an eye imagine how fast things could go to hell. More on this subject in the article below.

interest rates up...... stock market down.....
There's historical turbulence associated with ending QE?
Huh? I thought QE was unprecidented? Since when is there a history with this kind of crap?
