Presented with little comment aside to ask WTF?

Kev' probably got word of his EOY bonuses (from NYFED, GS, and JPM) during those VIX fat fingers.
Must.Not.Let.Them.See.Me.Sweat - Yellen
I sure as hell don't want to see that.
Vix, an intangible security tied to no company, commodity or basket of assets...The perfect tool for mass market manipulation.
Send sweaty Yellen porn to ISIS, it'll be bigger than goat porn........
A little sweat is better than puking,though, and much better than stroking out.
Since the market is contrived - VIX is not relevant.
PPT Meeting discussing December rate hike must have finished aroung 11:30 ???
Even if they did raise rates in December, remember the PPT will save a lot of powder for the last move to make it look like, "hey see the market didn't even care the fed raised rates because when they raised the market went into a non-stop bull." CNBC should already have their scripts ready.
Good point. That could get them over the hump until BTD resumes. National security and all.
Not 11:30 = 11:27
Bingo
EXACTLY...once you know how they think, you can make very profitible bets on their reactions
Stop Losses are now instantly executed instead of waisting time for the market to move.
If the VIX closes at $18.07 even the SEC should be able to uncover the manipulator.
I guess the new close is $17.50. Pound that VIX
When you gamble, be sure to remember that the house always wins!
Seems legit.
3 Million yuan gold bra. That is all.

Greenie for that link.
But the fun would still be taking it off...700 grams be damned. That's only 26 grand or so.
I like the design. The gold beads hanging down the back aren't just for looks, it's a counterbalance. There would be no other way to keep the front part from hanging loose because the straps could never be tight enough without making huge indents.
i see unicorns and pretty colors...
and shit tastes like Filet Mignon...
try some..
can you put that to music?
It makes perfect sense? Could you ever imagine you would see days like this?
From Article: "VIX must be crushed to levitate stocks because the terrorists can't be allowed to win..."
I see the real terrorists have won.
Same with Gold and Silver....same smash...cant have real money win
I had a feeling the PPT would be hard at work today.
Vix trading like a penny stock. Can't wait for Cramer to tell me this is indicative of a healthy market.
In the 2015-16 edition of The Algo Handbook, the acronym "WTF" appears but, curiously, is listed as "Wow, That's Fabulous!"
well VIX has ALWAYS been a made up number
Dow futures now up 350 points from the lows
There's 18.07 Next stop 17.50
PPT knew it had some work to do today.....12am edt, /es was a 1999, so a bump of 50 points.....it appears to be a bit outsized, instead of holding it up, weve got a surge upward...b/c there are no sellers!--- retail has been trained too well, they dont sell anymore b/c they KNOW the dip will be filled. the trap is set now, send her down 15% retail sells to wall st and another 10% climb before xmas, Mission Accomplished
How is the stock market 10.5% safer today than on Friday??? That is what the vix is telling us, correct?
Dow futures going crazy! This time it truly is different. Perfect time to buy call options on everything. The market is going to the moon! I feel so stupid for buying PM's. Maybe I have time to sell the PM's this afternoon and still buy call options before the close. Oh! Don't want to miss the big rally that just started! Gotta run...
Baltic Dry Index going straight down. Ended the day at 560. Down 55% YOY. If post Christmas annual trends are followed, we are headed for historic lows.
This market has been VIX'd from the very beginning
VIX going into negative territory soon.
nothing says things are great...like armed solider rampaging through cities
Never under estimate the power of a $4+ trillion balance sheet
18.07 at 3:58 Amazing
Those downward spikes are not reflected in VIX options, futures, VVIX, or ETFs. Ditto on that entire U-shaped drop from 1:35pm-1:45pm. What in the world are those things.
On the plus side, the inverse VIX, a.k.a. the PIX index (Predictability Index) is still near record highs.
As such, copious amounts of free money are available thanks to the PPT.
Don't cry, maybe gold will go up one day, and maybe one day US stocks will crash. But not this day.
