Stocks Rip Higher On VIX ETF Slam

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Crude is at the lows of the day. Credit markets are at the lows of the day. Treasury yields are near the lows of the day. So it makes perfect sense that as Europe closed, "someone" would take the monkey-hammer to VIX ETFs (in particular UVXY - the Ultra-VIX ETF) and that rips stocks higher. What is most odd is that VIX (the underlying index) is not falling (as the ETFs appear driven more by futures out-months shifts and position-squaring).

 

Stocks rip as UVXY dips...

 

Spot VIX is not playing along as it seems VIX ETFs are being driven by futures' out months...

 

Whatever it takes!!

Must not let markets close in the red this year.  we would look like idiots raising rates with markets in decline. 

Citadel,  We've given you an unlimited amount of "money" to trade with, now make this market go up, or we will give our business to Black Rock.   Just get it done, pay any price, just buy.   Congress will never audit us, and the public will never know.

When perception and its attendent 'sentiment' become proxy for economic health, and quite possibly prevention of widespread social dislocation, anything that can be done, will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven's Eccles building (and the ESF...)

The S&P needs to get back above 2055 to keep the "Everything is awesome" meme alive.

For the neo-bulls, 'last minute surprise' has been the only workable tactic other than bear traps since QE ended.

Yep. Football, hockey, Christmas, mall brawls, gun orgies, New Year's Eve plans. Lots to keep the proles all nice and occupied whilst being fleeced.

Land of the fleeced and home of the enslaved.

Be happy, there are 75% off sales going on all throughout the land, as the XMas sales were a complete bust and these stores need to unload their inventory.   Sure it's on stuff you don't need, and already have 3-4 of, but what the hell, go out and buy it anyway.  It will somehow help your e-con-omy recover.

Con-gress has left for the year, and nobody watches what we do anyway, so we can pretty much do any damn thing we want to.

All in the name of helping the "main" street.    that being, Wall Street.

Yeah, I'm getting KILLED on UVXY today!  Makes no sense.

I should have sold my shares at $42 a couple of weeks ago.  I feel like an idiot...

In order to catch us would require changes to the Fed's charter with Con-gress, and a John-Q-Public that gave a shit enough to insist we be audited and INVESTIGATED in order to even hope to uncover our multitude of, let's call them, "tools".  

Since we have half of Con-gress on the dole via their Wall Street friends, it is unlikely that would ever happen.  Besides, the sheeple could care less, and many believe we actually know what the hell we are doing and many actuall believe our line of shit that we care about main street.  Despite being the root cause of / major fueler of / all the financial crises since our founding.
