If You R Not Sh*tting Your Pants Then

Quote from rew:

I don't doubt that manipulation at expiration sometimes occurs. (It can occur for RUT and other indexes as well.) But that is very different from what Nine Ender was suggesting -- that the VIX is kept artificially low day after day. That implies that MM are underpricing SPX options on a day to day basis. I can't imagine why they'd want to do that.

I never suggested that VIX is kept artificially low day after day. That's some theory you've dreamed up.

If you think VIX is some form of reliable leading indicator of anything ( as Shortie clearly does think ), well go ahead make some money off that trading strategy. I have serious doubts.

Shortie, to be quite honest the two ring circus starring yourself and tradingjournals is about as amateurish as it gets. A bunch of guesswork based on nothing in particular, with almost no understanding of fundamental analysis.

One of the funniest things I've ever seen on this site was you actually believed the fabricated journal that tradingjournals posted. That journal was a brazen obvious fraud. Truly bizarre.

And both of these guys still expect to be taken seriously, amazing.

i only wish he continued with his experiment. the journal had a very impressive start. don't know why Tradingjournals stopped reporting it.

what makes you think it was a fake journal? why would he report a fake journal? how would be capitalize on a fake journal?

People have strange motives sometimes; posting a fake journal is a way to garner unwarranted attention and possibly massage your ego.
 
Quote from shortie:

notice how SPY refuses to go down. lots of fear with VIX pushing higher but SPY would not go down. i am not a market psychiatrist but this has to be bullish short-term.

Shortie's got his knickers in a knot over that math calculation then. I can't see it as being very important in a range bound market. Much ado about nothing.

as some smart dude said: the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

to Nine_Ender:
I took my own advise and went slightly Long SPY and heavily Short VXX as I started this thread. By Thursday and Friday the above positions were showing nice profits of which i locked some in because i like to take small profits and reduce my overall risk.

I am still not convinced that this rally is over or that VXX is done declining. But just to be safe I went into this weekend ~ short iron condors for my SPY and I am still net short VXX. I would like to analyze the market over the weekend and adjust my positions early next week depending on my analysis and the market action.

BTW the thread was started 07-14-11 11:49 AM. I admit it is possible that i got lucky with my "analysis". I just hope I can keep getting lucky a little longer. :)
