Broken VIX Means "Markets Getting Scared", Group One Says
We noted earlier the "noise" in VIX. We are starting to get a picture of what's happening... and it's not good. As Bloomberg reports, Group One Trading’s Dominic Salvino warns, inputs to the calculation are going skewy on the VIX in the past couple days because "safety parameters are set to hair triggers" and market makers are going wide more often than not. Yet another market - and The Fed's direct manipulation tool - is now entirely broken.
As Bloomberg reports,
Inputs to the calculation are going skewy on the VIX in the past couple days because "safety parameters are set to hair triggers" and market makers are going wide more often than not, Group One Trading’s Dominic Salvino said.
CBOE may look at the issue to see if something "more reliable" can be used: Salvino, in phone interview
CBOE spokeswoman didn’t immediately have comment
Was happening, with smaller effects before; now that weeklies are in the calculation, spikes occurring more often

I literally laughed out loud.
I am laughing out loud thinking about the fucking idiots that are tasked with somehow changing the calculation, reporting, or both, to hide the manipulation.
Once the fix is in, and things look normal, then that is when the chart should read, "Broken."
Right now the chart should say, "Warning!!!"
Oh yeah...as if the ONLY thing broken is the VIX and that is the tell tale sign that something is wrong. What a joke.
Thats like blaming my low IQ on my father because hes an idiot.
Looks like the VIX had a bad hair day.
RAMPJOB FAIL BITCHEZ!!
Eject!!! Eject!!! Eject!!!
Today's range on the ruble/dollar 58---80
Hell'stheproblem?
(Not off the lows;)
Pull !!
that chart say FUCKED and we all knew it was coming and the metals on sale and will go lower before the skyrocket just look at 2007 and one will see what's coming and manipulation only lasts so long. I warned several clients of mine to get out and they laughed
Don't worry .... we've got Nuland and Kerry on the job
yah ... ' safety parameters ' ....that's a good one.
Starting to look very 2008-y out there. Spreads on options contracts really freaking wide today.
Just die already... good lord... zombie markets and we just keep shooting them in the stomach and chest... would someone tell Vlad to aim a little higher already jesus christ....
He could ask for gold for gas and it would strike the heart of the beast, China won't let him do it yet, they want to suck up more gold with worthless dollars
720 tons in GLD still needs to be transferred. Maybe China will spot Russia for a few months while this all plays out.
NEXT week on AMC's the Trading Dead...
Time to go all in short yet? If not, wake me up just before.
DING!
Fucked
VIX over 19 is unmanagable, I mean can not be manipulated.
The market just drops like a stone!
Scared robots
C3P0?
2% swings up and down in one day, oil down 40% in weeks, and the U.S. bent on poking the Russian Bear while our troops are "fighting terrorists" in the Middle East.
The terrorists are in Wall Street and Brussels.
I'm thinking that a test for Parkinsons's Disease is in order.
Financial terrorists continue to be the biggest threat to mankind history has ever witnessed.
Vix is just a trailer. The feature presentation will begin shortly. Please turn off cell phones.
I don't understand all the charts ZH posts, but from a layman's perspective, lots of them look like earthquake Ricter charts lately.
got plenty of popcorn and vodka, lets get this shit show started!!!

And the Silver market looks closed...
https://www.tradingview.com/x/9LRul5h5/
Right. Price discovery. 20 min to closing, VIX Jan $21 calls showing an actual volatility of about 125%, but a price implied volatility of about 50%. Right.
It started so nice and green this morning. And now is all red & rotten, 10 minutes before closing... Oh, the humanity !!! What's left of our (once) great markets ?
Broken VIX means the syndicate is selling VIX in order to create the illusion that things are ok, as they have been doing for quite some time.
Combined with selling gold for the same reason, along with pumping the S&P full of printed money, all the warning signs have been defeated.
This is the reason I personally am worried about stumblng along into WWIII. In a functioning market, the S&P would be dumping, VIX would be soaring, gold would be considerably higher causing some politico maybe to rethink what they're going along with.
Well, your wish has been answered... in the last 15 minutes or so... /s
WOW! WE FINALLY WENT RED IN THE DOW AND S&P AND STARTED TO CRASH ONLY FOR THE LAST 15MIN STICK SAVE TO REAPPPEAR - THEY ARE DESPERATE TO CLOSE GREEN HERE! FUCK THAT AND FUCK THEM! BURN YOU MOTHERFUCKERS BURN!

Does anything mean anything when everything youve ever believed in was a lie?
The fucking VIX?
Does that even mean anything to those who dont even know where the free money printed from thin air and given to the banks to lend out at usurious rates mean anything?
And as such is reason 106 why you money changing, nation wrecking cunts will be hanged till you are dead.
Think about it cunts. Explain the fucker in childs English to those less fortunate than you, or less educated you money changing cunts. I will bet right fucking here, and right now, you wont even make the scafolding. The proles will skin you alive where you stand you cunts.
Broken VIX? Ahem, you might have a slighty bigger prolem on your hands than outright theft you fucking thieving cunts.
And you had better start thinking about the reactions of your actions you filthy cunts. Ying and yang and all that jazz eh?
:-)
I96 rant! Love it! I started reading your post and thought, "that sounds like I96". Then looked up and saw your name. Did not recognize you in the new avatar... cheers...
The daughter done it SGN2.
I'm four years old apparently. It celebrates four years of being a right fucking cunt in the thorn of the sides of those who need it most.
Still me, still mixing the cunt up, with the cunts who should be hanged till dead.
And after four years, these cunts must know we know. Lets fucking get this started and hang the fuckers then mate.
Nothing changes otherwise.
And you know me mate, no bullshit, no lies...
;-)
+100!!
Scared? hell just have Kevin fire up the S&P futures and all is fixxxxxed

Read the letter, connect the dots. It's been a plan in the making for decades.
LBJ and the CIA did away with JFK. I first read that phrase in 1967 believe it or not.
One more thing to add to this thread.
The ongoing syndicate manipulation of VIX causes ALL RISK to be mispriced. It is a very, very dangerous market manipulation.
VIX is a black scholes input. This means that every single traded option and in fact every financial instrument is wildly mispriced for risk.
We are at the point of markets manipulation where if the syndicate ever loses control, we're looking at instant vaporization of the whole thing.
This is Captain Yellen with a message to the trading desks. Please fasten your seat belts we are feeling a bit of VIX turbulence.
my 15 minute VIX chart looks very psychedelic
lol> That VIX chart is bouncing around like a bipolar paranoid schizophrenic off it's meds.
It's okay though... Moe Howard will fix it manana.
