Somebody needs to write a song titled "Its raining bankers!"
Hanging bankers....fixed it for ya :)
Excitement for the day is over now. Talking heads on CNBC in the FIGHT OF THEIR LIVES to get this thing back up, and looks like the PPT is buying everything they can.
Yeah, that feeling when a referee spoils an exciting game.
The Chinese did that. We can see how well its working out.
And then China takes another shit, at least if they don't shut their markets down for "adjustment"......
Just wait until volatility hits infinity...
Oh thease markets are so................................2008/9
Which bank throws up a flag first?
Last go round GS was actually in a deep hole, but it was decided that Lehman was more 'expendable'. I wonder who the sacrifice to the gods of Wall St. will be this time?
Yet silver remains in the red... makes perfect sense.
King Euro
It's a TRAP!
This is no big deal ... nothing to see here ... eat your Monsanto food nuggets and worship Baal.
(we are all just the putrid-urine of history)
OH! OH! OH! OH! FEARGASM!!!!!!!!!
1.) Sell VIX
2.) Buy SPY
3.)?????? (CB's doing 1 & 2 through proxies)
4.) Profit
I'm excited to hear Lockhart this afternoon say ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

I remember last week an article by Tyler about someone buying VIX 50 calls for super cheap. That person must be a millionaire today. He should repost it.
They are probably running the numbers on the profit and editing an update. :-)

The criticism was "picking up nickles in front of a steamroller" lmao
Which, of course, was directed at the sellers who got flattened the fuck out.

ummm. i was the one who said seller is the House. and as usual Tyler had it backward.
Yeah! For 5c I think it was...!
Thinking about that this am when it was at 28 and wondering if it was gonna blow up, and indeed it did!
article had it backward, but someone here at ZH posted that they BOUGHT five of those contracts for $75.
Yes. Well, look at the SDY. That is not looking too good.
Bond markets are still open.
But you did look, didn't you?
We all assume the bond market is safe, yes?
LOLOL

Green by noon. I'll make that call everyday until it doesn't work twice in a row.
Friday was one.
I dont think it will be green by noon.
Down 215 with 3 minutes to go.
Any chance I get my dream come true this week and Bank of America goes under.
We will hand them high.
Pop the champagne.
Bonus money booked for January today!!!
FEES FEES FESS! YUM YUM FEES!
HOMER LIKE DONUTZ.
The Fetid Stench of the Black Cloud burned the nostrils of the Clueless Crowd of peasants. The Black Flames scorched the skin and began burning all their eye brows, hair, clothing, and exposed skin within moments.
Napalm was one of Rockefeller's greatest weapons which caused the Blackest of Agony and Terror.
The Black Entity from London feeds on the works of men, and the energies of fear, anger, and despair. The minions in Central Banks and on Trading Floors never fully comprehended the dangers to their existence from doing the work of Black Schemes.
Looks like those "crazy" VIX 50-70 calls from Friday are either in the money, or about to be.
It traded 53?????
Where do I get this? Looks like Yahoo halted the VIX.
Because ultimately the Fed can fight the global tsunami (SOS) and insulate the exceptional us casinos from the fallout. Pure madness. Sell while you still can, this is not a drill.
Wonder if the dude that had a nickel bid out there for 50 strikes was hit...next up SEC investigation for that guy.
Some serious fuckery going on ... VIX has moved but the call options have barely budged.
Thanks to the article on Friday about the massive volume on VIX 50 calls. I purchased 5 of them myself for $0.15. I sold them this morning for (2) $1.75 and (3) $1.50. for over 1000% profit. WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
The September $15 VIX calls are trading 50% higher than the December calls. Either the longer dated options are grossly mispriced or someone knows something I don't.
Another banker bites the dust, another one bites the dust.
Raining the blood of bankers!
