FOLLOW : Bitcoin Cash Equity Markets Funds Future Georgia Manipulation Markets Record Trade Volatility Water

Category : Opinions and Analysis


	The equity markets are taking another hit today. Curiously, so is the VIX. I did not record the timestamp on that snapshot but I believe it was 15 minutes or so before the close. As of 3:03 PM the S&P rallied back towards even as did the VIX. Curious behavior to say the least. What's Going On? I don't know, but here are some theories. Hedge funds and pension funds doubling up on short volatility trade. Manipulation against Mr. 50-Cent VIX. Pure complacency. No one wants PUTs. Points 1 and 3 are more likely. Short Volatility Trades I wrote about short volatility trades twice recently. November 7: Expect a Volatile Future: Short-Volatility Funds Flooded With Cash December 6: "Everyone in the Room is Selling Volatility" "Volatility was once just a measure. Now it's an income-generating product. Everyone is selling it says Pennant Capital." These short-volatility pension fund managers will get blown out of the water one day.
