A Triple-"Fat-Finger" VIX Day
Unrigged...
Just as stocks dipped after the opening squeeze and as the afternoon began.. and again into the close... VIX was rammed lower in an awkwardly-timed "well it must be a fat finger" trade that sparked a rebound in the all-time-high trending stock market.
But note the closing ramp did not work...

It appears more than a few were aggressively buying protection ahead of tomorrow's FOMC minutes.

FOMC minutes time again??? do we need to get FOMC minutes weekly or have FOMC members chiming in on a daily basis??? these mothafuckas think its fun and feel powerful they can move the entire financial markets with mere words?? Make sure we have a lists of these fuckers when its time for heads to roll.
They have magical presence.
They own and run the casino and they must remind us of that.
Sticks and stones can break my bones, but the fed is still a bunch of fucktards.
FOMC minutes?
At the third stroke, 1.5 Billion in paper gold will be dumped, precisely
beep....beep...beep
Maybe a need for moar QE?
But the eCONomy is swell.
...or not.
Doublespeak MF'ers.

I think…
1) Its all about the VIX, this video shows why vix is about to get pounded and market will rocket. Good video. => http://bit.ly/1fMcakI
2) Earnings or 70% of earnings are good lately.
3) USD that is still rallying will give tailwinds to stocks soon.
4) Lower crude, bad for oil producers, however…. good for consumers, good for transports, companies listed on market.
They're just playing with themselves at this point.

Helped me fill another tranch of VIX calls on the close so I dont mind. Though since I am recklessly long VIX here that practically guarantees it will close the year under 10.
