Confidence Guaranteed By A 3:58PM VIX-Slam
The initial 330ET ramp took the S&P 500 green for a Friday close - the necessity for confident-spending of all that extra gas-price-cut cash this weekend. But it faded once the initial VIX slam slowed... have no fear... we'll do it again... VIX was clubbed 0.35 points to get 1.7 S&P points and ensure a green close for tonight's Evening News...

Greenwashing.
I feel like I have seen this before....scratches head....maybe there is a patern...no, that would be illegal.
A market that rallies one point at a time. Verrry impressive. I can't wait to get in on that. /sa.
Tyler, Any luck on getting a copy of the manipulation schedule and targets? I feel this would be helpful to my trading.

10:40 am est time is another one they love. They also like the 9:40 est time.

On CNBC.com they have a story called "Is there anything the West can do to stop Putin?" directly under a story called "Oil has worst losing streak in 28 years". There is no way they did that on purpose- they're not that smart.
Ugh. I didn't drive anywhere this week.

I think the short covering in aud/usd and gbp/usd today, speak volumes about where the $usd is headed next week.
If that's the case, based on current correlations, the equity markets and usd/jpy might be in for a tough time NEXT week.
THERE IS NO DOWN...ONLY UP!
I agree, but the rubber<>band needs some tension relief. (retrace)
Well, yah know, if the US$ takes a dump
its only natural the market would uhmmm... price that in.
And, keep in mind, the PTBs also read stuff on the net,
and anything that suggests the TBTF banks might get
burned in a derivatives messup 'cuz of the US$ bull,
is going to get someones attention BIG TIME!
Think maybe there are no co-inky-dinks???
The "people that be" read lot's of things... Just look at the election results from last week.
William Dudley of the NY Fed pushing the VIX down again.
Ever since the Japan shenanigans and the wind-down of QE, sudden VIX slams seem to foretell the only strong (yet temporary) moves we've seen in an eerily static market, but only in the first hour and last 1/2 hour, in between VIX has often led astray. So . . . is it desperate underperformers propping things up, big houses slowly building shorts by maintaining horizontal "highs", or a general "what-the-fuck-do-we-do-now?" churn, with buyers stopping after .01% up, sellers stopping after .01% down? Or, as Michael Harris has opined, has the stock market become "forexized"? http://www.priceactionlab.com/Blog/2014/08/the-forexization-of-the-stock...
Whatever the cause, thus far this may be the shittiest 4th quarter for trading (unless you played the 10/15 V-bottom perfectly) in the history of financial assets. For technical traders, one more Price Action link seems appropriate: http://www.priceactionlab.com/Blog/2014/11/pumped-up-markets-by-stimulus...
Them fuckers getting better!
No one gets it. options being slowly moved each week to their max hell point. look at BABA. pinning stocks to their max hell decreases volatility. simple really.
