The captain of a ship can make a boat go left or right, and manage boyancy to a degree. The captain of a ship cannot always stop a ship from capsizing when confronted by the full force of nature.
The more of the 'market' they buy, the less difference it makes. They have to keep the market going up to seduce the greater fools, but there's a limit - When they get 50.00[..]001% what's the expected ROI?
Well we know one thing for sure - technical analysis works when it is in their favor, and we just got a massive reversing candlestick on everything except PMs today. To the moon, and the VIX will have to wait.
I don't want to go back to California if things are going to crash. It rains here. (Actually have to close the window right now because it is raining on my monitor). I like rain.
Rained like a bitch the last two days here in the high desert. Monsoon season, flash flooding, dry lakes are full, standing water everywhere. I've been turning in government locations for using water on the asphalt. Good times.
well the southeast is drought dry. no measurable rain since 1st week of may. location 20 miles west of charlotte. it has felt like mid august here for the last 4 weeks. dewpoint above 80 for weeks on end, i'm a runner and have to run after 6 pm, and its been rough. as to that vix fantasy chart. if i want a fantasy i'll think about blowing my load all over jennifer love hewitt's nipples.
When you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.;-)
But I do envy your normal rain. We had a little and one manzanita I thought was dead looks like it's may have some life. Just every day at a time now.
My fantasies have certainly shifted in recent times.
i wish to offer my apologies for the above post, particularly to you ms miffed. i sometimes forget the large numbers of people who will be reading this and i wanted to edit them out but that is no longer an option.
i can only say in my defense that the charts have no basis in reality and i had just come in from a hard track workout with track temps above 102 and i was a still buzzed from the endorphins.
again i sincerely apologize for my banal and carnal comments.
Now it is my turn to feel bad! I was only teasing you and wasn't offended in the least. Really! I wish I hadn't commented so you could have edited if that was your wish.
I realize ZH is primarily a blog for men. There are few places today where men can congregate, spin some yarn, let the testosterone flow and then dare each other to do something stupid ( working in the medical field, I've seen the results of " hold my beer" many times. my goodness, you men do know how to disembowel yourselves). It really troubles me this has been taken away from all of you. Women have private organizations, why not men? The inequity really troubles me and I do wish I could do something about it.
I decided when I joined I would always try to be a good female guest. Not complain or have any female melt downs ( not that I have those anyway, maybe that's a reason why my husband just beams in my presence after all these years. Or maybe it my 36D and voluptuous figure? Who knows what's in the heart and minds of men? At least here I can get a glimpse of you creatures unedited uninhibited and free ranged)
You know what I think? Just enjoy those endorphins coupled with a good old surge of testosterone. And once that is stirred up, it better have a focus of release or you shall go nuts. This is what makes life passionate and fun. And if this bothers anyone, they can just fuck themselves. Ok, not too lady like of me but hell, I'm on ZH!
Same in fly-over central Illinois. Visited the folks for the fourth and the corn was already in tassel. The overnight low in Chicago is 59 degrees... in July, with more rain coming. I'm drunk. Can't mow the lawn. Go Greece! Janet Nuland was right ~ Fuck the EU.
Its been dry and hot here, mostly, since late spring. We have been getting a little rain in the last couple of weeks but Id say we are still under drought conditions. Im in NW NC and this is one of the driest and hottest spring/summer seasons in several years. Between the heat, drought, bugs, various animals, and me hating hot weather, my garden isnt looking so well this year. I plan for such occurences, though, and make sure Ive enough to last for awhile. The hayfields are only yielding half the usual grass and the pastures are so bad that the cattle are already being fed bales of hay. Its going to be a rough winter for the cattle if it doesnt start raining with greater frequency. Calves that were $150 last year are up to $400, now. I may have to get into the cattle bidness, if for no other reason than raising my own beef (and keeping the grass mowed on the cheap).
Was there, or was there not - right on this site, say about 6 - 8 months ago, (1) or (2) successive articles essentially putting lie to the VIX, as simply another manipulated index/measuring tool...? Not that I disagree, but if that is/was the case, should any of this matter...?
This is the shemitah year. The new hebrew year that begins on September 13th is believed to be the jubilee year (although that is not a complete certainty). In Biblical times, the terms of loans included recognition that debt was to be cancelled during the year of jubilee. No need to be shocked if debt instruments unwind starting in September.
ALL HAIL NOPAT
Central Banker Daily Bread:
1. Trick everyone into trusting you
2. Create monetary (or any other financial related) crisis
3. Tell everyone (because they trust you) you can solve the crisis
4. Make it worse
5. Assure everyone that seizing deposits, flooding the system with currency, having never ending meetings and summits will solve the worser crisis
6. Make $trillions
7. Ease the crisis
8. Renew trust
9. Repeat Steps 2-8
Prepare: http://freebitco.in/?r=25727
We haven't even hit 5% off the top!
It's different this time.
One thing I know for sure is if we get extreme volatility, it's because the bankers want extreme volatility.
There is a reason JPM is long physical silver and short paper contracts... We are about to find out why...
I had to sell my silver today of all days, near the lows of course, to help fund my son's wedding.
That's your sign to back up the truck.
I would have said...Here's 5 grand...elope! (Like they say: If you can't elope, what'll your honey do?)
Seasonality--I knew a woman who had seasonality, don't cha' know.

wessonality?
I wish I'd have thought of that ;-)
USE THE FORCE WALL STREET!

USSSSSSE THE FORRRRRCE!
Too bad this isn't a hollyweird production, because the Dark Side always loses in those fantasies...
I think I smell QE4.
Yes, QuEEF4 does smell fishy.
Time Machine: Remember the Summer of 2008?
Lots of clueless morons stumbling around a hopium den...
I remember Bear going down before Lehman, but then again, nyet. And stupid is MOI, did nothing back then either.

Bear never went down. Bear is fine, just ask Cramer.
I must admit I don't have the faintest idea what this means. But then, I don't fool around with something if I don't know what it is.

I looked up "class" in my Webster's, it said, Miffed Microbiologist.
Too many windows open...
Now that you have three detractors (none myself), I will offer Mr Yellen's nipples.
Enjoy fuckers.
probably less gross than ms. yellens, hhahahhahahhaahhahahah
I'm guessing that if you took off Janets shirt she'd look like grounds Keeper Willie
Northeast having plenty of rain. Corn and Wheat shooting up six inches a week. We haven't gone a week without some rain.

"We VIX'ed some folks."
Been lots of talk that something big is going to happen in September.I would presume this chart shows the past, present and expected future?
This is the shemitah year. The new hebrew year that begins on September 13th is believed to be the jubilee year (although that is not a complete certainty). In Biblical times, the terms of loans included recognition that debt was to be cancelled during the year of jubilee. No need to be shocked if debt instruments unwind starting in September.
I'm confused - you're charting the future now?

Plain and simple.
