I haven't looked at VIX in awhile, looking at it now. Fucking Bizzaro World.apeman wrote:Grumps, VIX minus 6% lololololol
It's the least volatile time in history, you know, with all this stability!

Go look at VIX and USDJPY -- at 9:45 am on -- for every day in the last 80 days. The yen now operates independent of any other currency, which should be impossible, and when it gets hammered in the AM it is mysteriously bullish for stocks.
There is no remaining doubt in my mind that the global central banks are coordinating the VIX slams (aka cheap downside protection, to keep equities up) and playing currency games to ensure adequate liquidity any time there is a whiff of fear.
1.) super duper fake, and
2.) damn these guys are good

They also control the 'radar'. There's a reason that you don't know who's doing what with the National Money Supply. You get a monotone "fuck off" memo once a month, to hint at a meaningless bank rate, so you feel informed.apeman wrote:Oh, I meant good at controlling it.GrumpyCatFace wrote:It's easy to be good, when you directly control a "market".apeman wrote:![]()

Objectively, I imagine it isn't easy to pull off such a caper under the radar for so long.
S&P 500 has not moved 1% in ~75 days.
75 DAYS!
Of course. But it's already gone on for a very long time. Society, the elites, everyone very much depends on it, as they have in the past.apeman wrote:oh for sure, you know that I agree with you on all this.
Our only difference is that I think -- not a prediction, just a possibility -- that the nonsense can go on for a very long time. In some ways, society depends on it, and folks are very good at not seeing what they don't want to see
