Another Triple-Fat-Finger VIX Day Saves Stocks

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Ugly data in Asia, Europe, and US PMI meant US equities opened gap-down... that was unacceptable to 'someone' and so the "most shorted" names were squeezed. However, after 10 minutes the ramp started to fade... and so the big boys 'fat-fingered' VIX and that rescued the dip. That would be fine... but it happened again at 958ET when stocks started to fade again and suddenly VIX was lit up and zoom... stock momentum was ignited and all was well in the world... Broken record? Yes! But clearly someone has to take note of this rigging...

 

Another triple-fat-finger day for VIX...

*  *   *

Shorts got squeezed out of the gate... but the stalls in that first 30 mins could have spoiled OPEX pins around Goldman's 2050 Target...

 

So... VIX was employed...

 

Looks fine right?

*  *  *

OPEX tomorrow might clean up some of this...

Tomorrow we will get a broken exchange. They have to rotate every 24 to 48 hours because thats about the attention span of most people.

Enough of this shit-  Tylers, go find out who's doing it.  There's always an electronic trail.  ALWAYS.  Nobody seems to be willing to figure out where it leads which means THEY ALREADY KNOW WHERE IT LEADS.  But they're not telling.

This would seem to be a time for some good old fashioned Journalism.  The REAL kind, not the re-pasting of government-approved AP stories kind.

SOMEBODY knows.  Go find them, pour some drinks into them (or hookers & blow if that's their thing) and loosen their jaw a little.

Does it really matter who is doing the rigging? There are no true cops on the beat to bring in real justice. Bart Chilton comes to mind for some reason.

I dunno.  How about we figure out who's doing it first and go from there.  Is it the same entity of entities over and over?  Or is it much more diffuse?

yeah, even though Jack Welch and Immelt are both well documented pedophiles, I still can't see the upside for GE with that kind of marketing campaign...?

It's amazing how these things can happen in an open free market with good liquidity and a robust price discovery mechanism.

It is I who is insane for expecting something to change.  I should certainly know that gold, silver and miners are the only allowable short.

To say the market is rigged is an understatement. After over 30 years of trading commodities I will flat out state without any reservations that lies and manipulation run rampant. If you think anyone is looking out for the small independent trader you are wrong. An unholy alliance of the Federal Reserve, the government, and the too big to fail has left the rest of us in a precarious position.

For the big boys, its insider information and computer trading, this includes computing patterns that exploit where stops are placed, this improves their ability to wash the weak out of their positions. The bottom-line is that the higher the market goes the more vulnerable it becomes to a major collapse and sudden downward move. More on this subject in the article below.
