Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/29/2015 10:41 -0400

Climbing the wall of complacency...

As we noted yesterday...

VIX 12 handle now looking almost certain

And sure enough, VIX roundtrips The Matterhorn Pattern

As Grexit fears have disappeared...

Low VIX dampens selling in any programs that use it as one of their basket of weighted triggers to buy or sell to...easy manipulative lever...

Big ol' solid "meh" on this one.

While the VIX is an important indicator, I am quickly becoming ever more certain that none of it matters when you have a handfull of assholes that can print a few trillion of whatever funny money they use, purchase everything and keep this going on longer than anyone -- including us anticipates.

VIX is getting two in the pink and one in the stink.

In the casino the color of the holes doesn't matter.

There are only 3 certainties in life: death, taxes, and the fed pounding the VIX to keep people from selling

Wed, 07/29/2015 - 11:30 | 6366997 Oh regional Indian

So how DOES the Fed actually pound VIX? Genuinely curious since the VIX is an indicator....what is the lever?

Here is an interesting take on the topic...

Good read...don't know how they do it except with 1s and 0s with the result being XIV has proven to be a HUGE money maker over the years...I've gotten just a little

Uncovered put opions on the many vix proxy etfs $TVIX is the cheapest and most often "clubbed like a baby seal"

Wake me up when VIX falls to zero which represents full control by the Fed. Or reality.

But then again, Zero Hedge is getting to be lonelier than the far side of the moon. So who will wake me up?

Our reality is a manufactured/engineered one...

Or does someone considered this normal?

Janet Yellen

seems legit.

Wed, 07/29/2015 - 11:09 | 6366912 Everybodys All ...

Question for Yellen. Who colludes in rigging the VIX at the Federal Reserve?

Wed, 07/29/2015 - 11:13 | 6366926 Atomizer

Just visit IMF Website. Type in 'SDR Basket weights'. Sort relevance by date.

Fuck off Yellen, once the audit begins. Your toast.

I truly can't take this shit anymore! I'm seriously close to cashing in the 401K, checking account, all of it and living in a cabin somewhere 50 miles from anywhere....

I've had it!

Question to Mr. Janet Yellen, how many carry trades does it take to expose a MLM money laundry scam?

Wed, 07/29/2015 - 11:26 | 6366966 Atomizer

Janet, RICO laws don't apply to your laws within the Cartels of printing counterfeit money.

Wed, 07/29/2015 - 11:36 | 6367036 Atomizer

Janet, how can anyone respect you under a feminist motivate agenda to balance the global budget. Perhaps you need time off to motorboat a Tranny.
