VIX Options Halted As CBOE Breaks
As the late-day VIX slamdown began, and stocks levitated off the lows, CBOE's Futures Exchange "broke." At 1542ET, VIX futures/options stopped trading (though the VIX index continued to push lower).
CFE Breaks...
As Futures get going...
Leaving the index to blow lower all on its own...

Too many Vix bidders?
one word
EBOLA!
with 2 confirmed and more on observation...
that means maybe a couple of hundred running around un diagnosed...
ITS ON, and i hope my friends dont have it already...
How does one spell that in CYRILLIC?
"A former Food and Drug Administration chief scientist and top infectious disease specialist said that several people were exposed to the Ebola virus by the unidentified patient in Dallas, America’s first case, and it’s likely that many more will be infected.
Dr. Jesse L. Goodman, now a professor of medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center, said while the nation shouldn’t panic, it’s best to prepare for the worst."

Just in time for the heaviest travel day of the year. Thanksgiving.
Not even vick's can cure this downward flowing sickness.
The best way to hurt rich people is by turning them into poor people.
oh man good point!
New breed of suicide bomber?
?????
No, too many juxtaposing headlines. HFT algos go berserk.
lol
Just a hint of what's to come:)
I am absolutely positive I will wake up in the next 1-12 months and the stock market will be completely halted and there won't be a news conference or press release on why for days if not weeks!!
Something about "national security" will be bandied about!
I have been saying that for the last 6 years. Can we get this party started already? Even ATMs will be broke.
Even Plunger of PPT broke.
What was that Hindenberg Omen thingy about again?
Computers refuse to handle this magnitude of fraud?
One can only push the "any" key so many times...
Test. Click this
.
So it's broken but volatility is down?
So if my gas gauge breaks I will always have gas?
Thanks FED, thanks for fucking us all over and creating a bubble economy devoid of reason and sanity.
this is fuckin impossible
High returns Low volatility??? Thats the holy grail of investing...
Now, if they could find the holy grail of dating....Smoking hot girl with a good bod AND Awesome easy going attitude with good obedience.
i'd like to add that she not talk too much either. or share her emotions. or watch DWTS. It'd be helpful if she can also drive w/o hitting houses and whatnot.
"So if my gas gauge breaks I will always have gas?"
Sure! Just like cutting up the credit card gets rid of the balance.
Yep...No BTFD today. The usd/jpy is getting ready to plow through the 200 hr avg. Hasn't been there since August 7th.
mother fuckers
Central Command halted it
The current financial system is not different from Playstation 4 network
Fully controllable, centrally commanded, that is why I never use the word 'market'.
Market is suspended. The system is centrally commanded until further order
Day one of 4th Quarter... Quel Surprise!
A whole lot of 401k monies flow into the market at the end of each month. Those fuckers just got punked.
Again with the optimism.
Money does NOT 'flow' into the market
Money is already created and moves THROUGH assets, from account to account.
"Market is suspended. The system is centrally commanded until further order"
LOL
Is that good or bad for the faux-market?
Bad
Businesses need not to employ and expand output
They can simply do IPOs and have central command type up digits on computers
It seems what you have been saying (MIC vs Banksters) seems to be coming to fruition at an increased pace. Funny too, that all these distractions (Ebola, Syriana bombings, etc..) popped up at this convenient time.
i seem to remember several CNBC regs laughing when IWM completed black/death cross. "you can't sell because of death crosses or death stars ... ha-Ha-HA!!!"
IWM black XXX occured at 114.50, spot = 107.85 so thats a 5.8% to the down in 8 days.
:)
Welcome to the twilight zone!
Lets really break that mother fucker everyday around 3:30 and see how the "market" does.
if you prefer market volatility over low-volume low-volatility, you are a terrorist
If you think it's okay to sell, you're a terrorist...
Aha, that explains why the 'surprising' late ramp so tragically lost its tumescence . . .
'By End of December' - Harvey Organ...?
Does anyone else get the sense that things, generally, are accelerating?
So... you're saying that the turd might not float much longer, getting closer to the bottom of the bowl?
We've had days like these. They've been followed by "like nothing ever happened" recoveries. There is no big new on the horizon. Ebola, on my radar, doesn't even register. Used to be a flu season. Now it's an Ebola season. Big deal. Market doesn't give a damn.
Bombing Syria? US's been itching to do that for some time. No surprises there. ISIS does what ISIS does. Bonds? Yields are steady. Nothing we haven't seen. No surprise QE. Nothing. Not a news cannot be papered over.
Chinese demonstrations... that's somewhat new, due to the fact that somehow the same thing that has been happening before now breaks across the media boundaries. The demonstrations themselves, however, aren't new. Only the fact we're hearing about them.
Russia, Ukraine, Arctic oil discovery? Pfft. All non-events, economically speaking.
Today's just like any other day. ZH gets a buzz going when the stocks drop, but this is nothing. Open a 12 months chart for every major index. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just another day.
"Chinese demonstrations... that's somewhat new, due to the fact that somehow the same thing that has been happening before now breaks across the media boundaries. The demonstrations themselves, however, aren't new. Only the fact we're hearing about them." - yes, I will only add that Hong Kong is unique and has a colorful past due to it's inhibitants and strategic location for trade etc.
But at the end of the day, the British boot is gone, say hello to the Chinese boot...
Dude, this things been putting in a top for 6 months. Just like 2007.
I'm trying to remember the time we had a quarter open down in the equity markets.
It's more rare than spotting a Sasquatch.
Well, as for me, I got FAZ'ed again...
VIX is better than FAZ. I wouldn't touch FAZ with a 10 foot pole.(unless I could back up the truck short and never cover) Conservatively you can get VIX @ below 12 and reliably sell at 15-16 with regularity. Watch them fuckers slam it back into the 11's in the next week or two then back over 17.
They did it 'cause they saw me get in TVIX
TURN THE MACHINES BACK ON...TURN THE FUCKING MACHINES BACK ON...............
I feed my unicorn lots of skittles.
Quarter ending window dressing turned TOTO the reality DOG rip the curtain off of the Wizard...
Hideleburg presses ran out of paper.turning to Hindenburg.. Oh wait blame it on Koch they own the paper mills.. Bad Bad boys.. listen to Teper BTFD BTFD.....
These sycophant murders actually think they can remove the mark of Cain by printing... Kinda think they are handing out smallpox blankets again you know like Native Americans 2.0....

Send Neo-cons to save Africa not Millitary.
Did Adam have the mark of Cain? Poor dude, got mixed up with the wrong woman, had a couple of kids, one turned out bad. Of 2 sons only one lived and the line died out because there were no women...did I miss something?
Oh yeah..what does it all have to do with VIX...
Only so long can you live in a paper box...IN THE RAIN!
one thing imo in the kind of decline we are having the vix must rise. its the only way to stop it. so it will rise and everything associated with it, or we will just keep falling and falling. somehow this decline feels different to me than everything else we have seen in a long long time. all fwiw who knows
