Precisely why i do not play poker.

Nonsense, by the end of the week these guys HAVE to make market acceptable progress. They know the alternative is disaster. Too much has happened (ie: central bank intervention, etc) to disappoint. I know its cool to be a bear..but it seems a bit overcrowded.

I'm willing to say the most recent eurozone news will be taken well by the markets in addition to the black friday sales record.

Do you have a fever? Lol

love the last sentence! that's part of the reason i am over a decade with ib. keep up the good work guys.

lol..suckers http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2042291/Alessio-Rastani-Claims-greedy-dealer-praying-recession-FAKE.html

brains, my point in being sarcastic is that you should not be trading vix products if you cannot clearly see a correlation between a spx severe drop and corresponding vix increase. your best bet is following atticus's vix trades before you try anything there. without learning convergence...

yeah, vix could increase in that scenario. :)

Hint: if spot vix is above front futures , the futures based products will not go down.

Lol...let's just say 50 spot before 20 is looking more and more plausable...but things do change fast!

'cause he likes to "risk OPM" lol i think that question would be great for a shortie poll, lol

you know i don't bet..plus you need it more..so no, lol

you better edit this asap. 20 will touch with ease.

imo, to touch 30 spot by tuesday close, you gotta rallymode really straight up and not swing with any down moves. look at playing september this week if you see spot >32 holding. it can be as good or better than the last august play...

Kevin, atticus made a good point, learn pricing dynamics first. It took me a good year to model properly. Vxx will stay stubbornly higher as both sets of futures are lower than spot and will not drop until spot vix drops below them. Without knowing how these behave trading these is similar to...

The backwardation and flipping back to contango lasts as long as it does mostly to due with market direction. Rally knows this. If spot vix comes down fast enough it will go below futures, if it does not backwardation persists. The only thing in this case is the futures are so much...

lol, best answer. spot is 36.78 aug future is 35 aug goes off trading tuesday ...the future will converge to where spot is; and september @ 27.80 is going drive hard soon to a mid 30's spot. even if spot vix runs to 30, september still will resist dropping. that will effect vxx in ways...

your cred will always be better than mine..no worry! at least i'm better looking.

very funny. i did warn; but still heavily short vol. tough day; similar to flash crash.
