VIXterminated - Fear Collapses By Most In 31 Months
There is nothing to fear but freed itself... With VXX - the VIX ETF - at record lows, the VIX term structure has swung from backwardated last week to extremely steep with VIX hitting an 11 handle this morning. This is the biggest weekly drop in fear since January 2013...
VIX has collapsed from last week...
By the most in 31 months...

Not to worry - Yellen has everything under control.
Why should fraudulent controlled markets have any volatility at all?
I agree , why should they.
They should just come out and say , look folks , we guarantee your stocks will go up 4% per, think of it as the FDIC insured replacement for bank accounts.
It would be much easier to swallow
Just direct deposit into your broker account which is linked to your checkbook, atm and credit card.
Fasten your seat belts..
Horrible scary downdraft in 3....2....1.....
Muppet shredder winding up to full speed....
Wait for it!!!
Get that last Muppet in line now..
Those numbers are as honest as the day is long and I like my muppet medium rare......
XIV, the inverse of volatility, has become the true "Desperation Gauge". When the market is very close to going over the cliff, the fed pounds down volatility and XIV shoots through the roof...up 24% in 5 days!!

Combine VIX being ridiculously low And the turmoil in Greece and China, it surely most go up short term right?.... so it will only...... go down more .. AHahahaha!!
MSM:
recessions will never happen again because we will never talk about them
recessions will never happen again because we will never talk about them
recessions will never happen again because we will never talk about them
recessions will never happen again because we will never talk about them
recessions will never happen again because we will never talk about them
What's a recession?
Time to break out the quintuple seasonally adjusted data!

I think its (VIX) an excellent buying opportunity for the inevitalbe crash of the market. Yellen and the global CB's can only artificially prop the markets for so long before reality sets in.
Sound logic . so it's wrong.
It's become obvious their algo's are designed to cap VIX just like silver and gold. So it's suicide to try and go long VIX.
Probably the only time you could make any money in VIX there wold be a day long computer glitch or they put a temporary ban on short selling that would include VIX. So the chances of making any money on VIX is not in your favor. Might as well go to vegas and roll them' dice.
Following your perfectly sound logic, I have completely destroyed my retirement nestegg. VIX and UVXY, weapons of capital mass destruction.
@Idiots : Yeah, I invested some money into VIX after watching it gyrate between $10 - $17 a couple times. Sure'n shit the second I did VIX flew down to record lows and then split then collapsed again for no reason. Its become apparent they have set the HFT computers to control and beat down the VIX which is similar to gold and silver.
They need VIX low, precious metals low to get rid of any safe havens but stawks' high and interest rates near 0% to keep this game going.
Knowing this information, the next time VIX spikes by 50% I plan to short. Its an easy play and winner every time just its for short plays such as a few days or weeks at most. If you buy and hold you'll lose no matter if you're long or short due to the fee structure setup on these type of instruments.
Knowing that the fake no-risk game is on, it is straightforward to $ZIV and $VXX yourself with some profit taking. Anytime there is a swing up, it will be crushed with some news. Rinse and repeat.
Even in this 'tard market -- there are ways to win.
Playing this broken POS is nothing more than gambling and watching the NY FED Trading desk play
Gambling has better odds that this 'market' farce
Not if you BTFD
Just like yeller's bad heart, she must keep everything calm and stress free.....
There is no fear because trading robots have no emotions. The humans left the building a long time ago.
MSM is the central bankster's tool.
The central banksters are in control of everything now.
Like the old Soviet Union.
No selling if markets start looking unstable.
Global arbitraging of jobs. Food stamps are the new bread lines of the 30s.
Keep calm and buy on.
Quite..there is nothing to be afraid of...there, there children...sshhhh
I just listen to Barney and think purple...

im surprised it is at such high levels.
why has it not hit 0 yet, there clearly is nothing to fear, as earnings r incredible, economy is awesome, greece is fixed, obama is the greatest president, we have an awesome banking system, what the fuck can go wrong
We were given a nice little opportunity to get very short there over the whole grexit bs. But that is over now and you can't short this market right now. Well, unless you wanna get your ass pounded. All cash here.
This guy also had no fear:

I am tired and exhausted from this site
Ive lost so much money shorting the markets also because ive been reading their stupid comments and articles
Zh lost its credibility
Hate to say it, but this is true.
Long whine and cheese
Where did you get the idea that ZH was offering investment advice?
Yellen - we want you off this planet - NOW!!!!
...fucking asshole!!
This happened sometime during the Q1 and has lasted until recently; it was the NY Fed shorting the VIX...so I would guess the same player has been given orders. That was probably one monumental "short squeeze". I love the way they are boxing people into risky markets, given you can't get any return on a savings account, then steal. Wait till the pensions and 401K's get hammered in the future. I would look and see when the area of "peak retirement" for the baby-boomers occur and I believe that could be when they pull the proverbial "plug" on this whole thing.

I remember when the Vix was trading in the high twenties a few years ago and I thought back then watching it trade that I felt it was being manipulated downward. Nothing has changed since. In fact the Vix rigging has only gotten worse. Much worse.
Audit the Fed. Sorry, end the Fed.
4 times in 2015, everytime vix hit 11.XX , its been a buy and its swings up, problem is when shorting vix, you dont know from where should you short, you dont know if the top is in, but long vix at around 11.XX has been a good trade this past year so far, ofcourse past performance does not guarantee future results, and i am long vix bought some in low 12 and lets see how low in the 11 handle does it go. Assume this is risky either way because IT IS BEING MANIPULATED DOWN.
Once you factor in every institution of the free world and even a few outside of it are doing everything they can to pump equity prices higher its clear the VIX belongs under 10 and anything above that is a sale. We all know the central banks control the markets, all of them. They want Stocks higher and metals lower so that is what they will make happen with everything from speeches to outright buying the market, either way they are taking it much higher from here, they must keep prices going up or they are dead. You know it, I know it, they know it.
Seems as though "The Market" (choke - LMFAO) is telling us Fuck Fear. There is NONE.
Good Lord - VXX hit 16.68 today, certainly the lowest in 52 weeks.
Vix, Schmix! This is the Alfred E. Neumen market! What is there to worry about? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-16/puerto-rico-says-it-fa...
It's not like there is any interconnectedness between SIFIs through CDS or anything. Calgon, take me away!
Pay no attention to the vix, like the price of gold & silver, MANIPULAED!...As for gold & silver...BUY, BUY ,BUY!!
we'll teach these CRIMINALS a lesson they'll take to their graves, when all is said and done...Right?
keep a stiff (upper lip)
