VIX Plunges To 14 Handle - Erases Post-China-Devaluation "Fear"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/19/2015 12:13 -0400

It would appear there is nothing to fear but fear itself. With The Fed firmly back on the sidelines, VIX has collapsed from its 50-plus highs on Black Monday back to a 14 handle - the same level it was trading before China devalued in mid-August... everything is awesome once again.

What? The possibility of a 2011-style budget impasse in Congress does not amuse the market sufficiently? We're so jaded.

Remember those 'no fear' t-shirts? The subliminal programming is finally starting to work. http://zhc0.com

15horses1donkey. I think if you keep pimping this idea on Zero Hedge as a cryptocurrency, I am gonna have to track you down, and bitch slap you into the middle of next week for being a pimp ass bankster schill bitcoin wannabe rat bastard motherfucker. IF ZERO HEDGE HAD A FUCKING CURRENCY OF IT'S OWN, IT WOULD BE MINTED IN INCORRUPTABLE NON HYPOTHECATED NON DERIVATIVE NON MARGIN ABLE SILVER OR GOLD. Get your shit together, and change your direction while you still have an ass to kick. Jesus, fucking kids these days. You all think technology is a miracle. All it is is electrons that can be made to go poof any fucking minute now. if i blew up your phone right now, you would look like a cow at the slaughterhouse just at the moment the bolt gun goes off - " How could you do this to me ? What'll I do now ? " Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. Triumph over adversity. And, transform your idea into minting a fucking coin out of noble metals, or I will make you look like a one legged man at a nut kicking contest.

Dang, it's almost as if these "crises" were manufactured or something. But we all know that could never happen.

We need another indicator chart to foretell impending doom..the VIX just ain't getting the job done.

Awe you sound sad. Maybe watch the Yellen speech where she chokes on her own lies. That usually cheers me up.

Mon, 10/19/2015 - 12:48 | 6685451 RawPawg

If we can manipulate the fear-index, can we make people fearless? WHO KNOWS? I guess today the answer is yes.

I was watching that when she gave the speech. (stream)

It felt like she successfully reasoned what she spoke as being illogical. It was.

I don't know how to describe it.

Would love to have seen a little gopro video in the podium.

I saw a news in the same page as this, about everybody panicking, selling t-bonds like crazy.

So, are you guys still using vix to trades? Knowing it decouples from reality?? Wow...
