Cobra's Market View

OPINION: anyway ……… going forward….. The VIX IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED until this thing is “over” (circa Jan 20 ??) Spikes are no longer folks buying puts to protect their long portfolios Drops are not necessarily call bets All moves in VIX are now all about short-covering in the “short vol” community C...

That's almost reversing whole move from yesterday! i.e. point wise..

$billions tied up in that XIV strategy, mostly huge institutions “…The last day of trading for XIV is expected to be February 20, 2018.” [CS] The whales are using UVXY, VXX and etc., long and short to try to avoid total loss Assume massive manipulation of VIX and VIX ETN products that are still tra...

WOOOOOOOOOOO

Credit Suisse just announced they are closing the XIV. Holders as of yesterday’s close will be paid out any value as of yesterday’s close, which is $4.22/sh minus costs associated with closing the fund.

LOT OF TRADERS WIPED OUT...THIS IS JUST BRUTAL...

UVXY dropping like a rock!

Canadian VIX vehicles are halted along with XIV...I am surprised they have UVXY running? But UVXY open wasn't as it was showing overnight..no 50% jump...crazy numbers

are we seeing end of VIX vehicles? after XIV event, people will scare to even invest any of it...

tags first red line Aug 2017 highs 17.50 next level 22.5

if VIX hit 22.50..what S &P level you expect? below 2700? 2650?

So Bank of America was the only big house to say now, as opposed to soon, as far as I saw. There target was 26 something, which looking at fehro's chart means a complete reversal of the January parabolic rise. While this kind of selling should lead to a gap down Monday I can't think the Fed will le...

Coolbiz gone into PERMABEAR mode...

looks like no turning back..will hit most likely below 2700 in this run by early next week...

I think he is out of the trade now..ES is below 2781 right now..

I think market will shoot higher later in the day or tomorrow...doesn't look good for BEARS...
