VIX Collapses To 2015 Lows

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Seriously...VIX is trading with an 11 handle once again, at the lowest levels of 2015...

 

 

The market continues to climb a wall of complacency.

No risk left in the free and fair markets of land of the free.  Only reward.

When does the VIX go negative?

Simple...XIV is the desperation index...the higher it goes, the more desperate they are...Really bad news makes XIV rocket up...when they lose control, it will be fun to watch their favorite tool sink like lead

It is undergoing an engineering change to make it count down, rather than up.

I wasn't specifically shut off.  They had it running on coal generated electricity, and the EPA cracked down on the power plant.

Oh I just did some research. It turns out there is some quasi-governmental organization called "The Fed" that supports the markets. I'm thinking that's the explanation.

I'm going to need a few links and some proof pieces before I believe your crazy sounding tinfoil hat theory.

You gotta be careful on the interwebs.  There's a lot of crazy people running around spouting falsehoods and half-truths.

It's still early in the trading day. Wait until 11 AM. I'm pretty sure the major indexes will be in the red by then and VIX will go back up.

Hedge funds are doing the old bait and switch in the morning.

Stocks go down, vix go down.  Stocks go up, vix go down. Neat trick.

I'm not sure the Fed is ready to call itself a Hedge Fund, it would be refreshing in a sense if they did. A giant hedge fund is rigging "The Markets"... all of the ferking markets... no shite!

It's all computerized, automated trading. VIX won't go up is everyone is on the same side, up or down. The market is trading within a range. Keeping up appearances.

Your overlords have deemed this an UP day and will crush VIX and jam USDJPY to make it happen. Rejoice in the bounty they have provided you

Lots of clenched buttcheeks holding back nervous farts, at least this whole thing is suspenseful.

GS and JPM buy the VIX puts.

 

Yellen bids the SPX.

 

Now that's a partnership.

 

FUCK YOU YELLEN!!!

Iron Heel Bitches

All the world is quiet, but it is the quiet before the storm. I strain my ears, and all my senses, for some betrayal of that impending storm. Oh, that it may not be premature! That it may not be premature!1

Small wonder that I am restless. I think, and think, and I cannot cease from thinking. I have been in the thick of life so long that I am oppressed by the peace and quiet, and I cannot forbear from dwelling upon that mad maelstrom of death and destruction so soon to burst forth.
