VIX Games Galore

by The MoleOctober 20, 2009

So, if you wonder why your puts are down while three out of four food groups are heading south of the border…

… then I have a chart to show you:

Those damn market makers know that the VIX is like cryptonite to us bears – and especially during OPX week they play this little game without compunction.

Just for the record – here’s the Wiki entry for what makes up the VIX:

VIX is the ticker symbol for the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, a popular measure of the implied volatility of S&P 500 index options.

I get it – the rules have changed – volatility now drops with the market – it’s a whole new ball game…

11:17am EDT: Okay, I’m going to take a loooong breakfast now and will come back once you guys decide to play. 45 comments on the prior thread is miserable – might as well start posting over on the Slope – might get more eyeballs this way.

11:31am EDT: Since you rats have abandoned me I’m going to be posting over at the Slope for the remainder of the day.

Cheers,

Mole
