It's all just noise anymore.  Get on with the re-set already.

Looks like somebody was a little premature.   The Queen does not like Premature events.

If we all know that, then do you trade accordingly?  If you don't then I think Einstein had a theory about that.

That's just GS being GS. Sheesh.

Oh, and JPM being JPM.

Care to guess the 210 S&P call volume at the same microsecond?

Someone in the know mistook EST for GMT. Or maybe CET with the US in daylight saving. So possibly the ECB?

The Fed has figured out how to draw this out as long as possible. I give it another 10 years before it comes apart when they finally have to raise rates.

"Japan, young Skywalker.  Remember your failure in Japan."

10 years seems a bit... optimistic.  I say it could go on considerably longer than that.

You bring up a great point my friend. What makes you think we can't keep this going for 20 years like Japan?

Nikkei was 40k in 1989.

There goes Japan as good example of ZIRP/NIRP DERP.

If I was stupid enough to think the VIX still functioned adequately then I'm sure I would think it meant something important or something, probably.

Not the first time that a slippage like this turns out to be a signal for future price action. And this parabolic ramp and subsequent smackdown looks like a pattern straight out of the algo-rigged-to-the-core FX market. So good chance it's rigged/insider trading.

This is only a test. Please do not adjust your porfolio (until after Goldman establishes their positions). We repeat, this is only a test.

Somebody pushed the button too early. Probably some part-timer who got called to get earlier on the other job.
