VIX Tumbles To 11 Handle, Near 3-Month Lows

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Because nothing says global slowdown, oil crash, HY spread blowout, currency collapse like a (purportedly forward-looking indicator of risk) VIX with an 11 handle...

Real traders have left for the holidays.  Look at the volume, the robots have this until the new year.

DOW 20,000.

What a fucking joke.

14 million shares being traded back and forth amongst the machines as we speak...

The real question is will the S&P ever have a down week again, we are at seven weeks and counting. Largest daily drop during this period is .75%, which was recouped the next day.

BTFD its software stupid. Sell when you see central bankers stepping down and out of their jobs. The end is nigh.

All risk has been eliminated from the market even as Japan gets ever closer to a collapse, Chinese markets surge 40%, tensions grow ever higher with Russia and manipulation in US markets reach a new frenzy.  Keep on buying - Yellen's put will work until it doesn't.

Endgame. They are getting prepared to let it crash. But before that: "Faites vos jeux!!"

Be very careful, common sense says buy it like I did, but you cannot fight manipulation and the utterly corrupt markets.  The decay is real, and TVIX is at the level where they start considering another 10-1 reverse split.  You will lose the bet unless the markets collapse like they should...Those in power are going to do everything possible to keep the party going as long as possible.

UVXY,   Same warnings as TVIX, but a reverse split will come later than TVIX.

Pros:  You'll make a fortune if this sucker crashes soon (i.e. in weeks or a month)

Cons:  You'll lose the lot through decay if the bankster manipulation continues without popping the bubble.

Second that.  I am steered clear of any bets on a downside.  The stock market, like the White House, is hijacked.

No one even discusses shorting any more.  There is no danger, everyone is on one side of the boat where the party is.

I remember the same statements in June/July of 2007 such as "there is no stopping Dow from hitting 15k"...

Whether forced or just for fun they have to pull the plug on this bullshit at some stage. Can they control the decline?
