Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

I have said this countless times....this historical stock market run has never been witnessed by anyone ever in history of mankind....even Cramer said it:

Cramer: I've never seen market FOMO like this in my life
  • "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer said an overload of buyers in the stock market is resulting in dramatically rising stock prices.
  • For example, the broader market decline didn't stop voracious buyers of UnitedHealth from pushing its shares higher, Cramer said.
  • But this action, caused by investors' FOMO, or 'fear of missing out' on the gains, isn't happening in a vacuum, Cramer argued.

Exactly....you know these guys are selling....how much upside do these guys think is left....and how many more hundreds of billions do they need....guess $160 billion fund is still peanuts to them....
 
if this market is really going to explode higher towards 3500.. I think it needs increased volatility..(1 step back 2 steps forward --on repeat)

1987/ 1999 was never a straight line
 
Amazon added yet another$25 billion in market cap in only a few days...

Remember what I said...law of large numbers will be the cause of the collapse!!!

2017 was the straight line. 1986 (off the top of my head) into Aug 1987 was a relentless bull. 1998 collapsed into the fall (Long Term Capital Management) before Greenspan set off the first in this series of echo bubbles. 1999-00 had "all sorts of crazy" going for it before some form of reality set in.

This has a different vibe due to the overwhelming algo presence. The volatility "clusters" more in a few bars, as opposed to the 1999-00 period which was a lot more ebb and flow/price discovery. It's near impossible to really compare these markets to historical analogs.
 
Every time (during these multi-week bull legs), you get one of those ultra sharp, scary plunges (especially between 5-7am (ET)), it turns into more fuel for the parabola. Last weekend's "scare factor" of a government shutdown, coupled with an elevated VIX is another recipe for a sharp leg higher. This market preys upon the memories of trader's from a different era.
