    See when June cums and the option arms begin to jump? That’s when the stock market begins tanking again.

    Actually kind of interesting.

    I wonder what can be gleaned by comparisons to the s&p over the same period.

    Let me think about this.

    ah yes, but what happened between the two creamy “normal” zones? (hint: the market vaporized) Early on, the VIX didn’t work exactly the way it does now.

    Still, the Chinese are after this stuff–we need more — can you do PIMCO stuff like Real Return?

    forget the financial markets – you have a much more impressive talent in your artistic abilities – this masterpiece may fetch $500k plus, sell a few of these and you’re sitting pretty

    Did anyome else catch the article about the Banks getting sued by Alabama and Milan for cds on cnbc. I think it could be a game changer if it catches on.

    Big banks swat ‘Fly’

    Theflyonthewall.com got smacked.

    A federal judge ruled yesterday that the financial Web site was infringing on the copyrights of several banks, including Barclays and Morgan Stanley, by publishing analyst recommendations right after they were released, before they were even able to be fully distributed to clients.

    Now, Theflyonthewall must wait until two hours after release to publish recommendations released during the trading day. For reports issued after hours, they have to hold off until 10 a.m. the next day. The company also has to pay more than $12,750 in damages.

    In its advertising, the site pitches that it gives customers the first whispers of analyst commentary impacting stocks.

    Mr. Fly,

    Please check:
    https://www.donfishback.com/blog/2009/10/28/early-performance-indicates-vxx-is-a-horrible-volatility-product/

    Can you explain in what conditions you expect VXX to go up?. it does not track VIX and the rolling scheme seems to be a killer. Just looking for your thoughts or somebody to contribute

    And what level have we stopped at again??…107.80 of course…I probably would need to see DIAs trade down to 107.50 to feel any real selling is starting up

    I find, dare I question the artist’s rendition, The Devil to exude a uneasy bellicose grin on his face. The simple triangle head resting upon his bespeckled thorax represents the harmonious balance of three forms of evil: politics, law, and inefficiency. We see that the artist gently tiptoes the balance between utter anarchy and complete humility with each brushstroke. Simply, BRILLIANT.

    Odd though, most pieces from this time have “the Devil” wearing a blue blazer.

    As for the painting, notice how the artist mocks the technical analysts community…just a couple of thick uneven lines drawn across the page with total disregard to high and low price points….shere genius

    I am happy to say that as of today I am 95 % cash and have 5% in an inverse ETF. At the risk of losing out on any upside potential here, well, I’ll take my chances! Although not huge I am a little ahead of my all time high before the market crashed! I’m happy!

    I’ve been buying basically putting my money in the VXX hole for a while now. I shall be rewarded by the demoncrats basically spending can kicking the can down the road. This healthcare bill passes and the taxes that come with it will kill production. What they fail to see is that the larger the percentage of national income taken by taxes, the greater the deterrent to private production and employment. The government spenders create the very problem of unemployment they profess to solve

    Of, course, for the financially challanged, with assets under 10M, could you do high glossy prints like I requested?

    p.s. it’s a beutiful work.
