Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33798752 Meanwhile, the volatility index (aka the VIX, aka the "fear index") is near historic lows. But according to UBS's Art Cashin, some options trader has made an enormous $11.25 million bet that the VIX will explode higher very soon. And a rally in the VIX is usually accompanied by a drop in the stock markets." [link to www.businessinsider.com] Someone else just posted a thread about another trader who made a massive bet against banks. Are they connected? At least somewhat connected. If your buying put options, you definitely want more volatility. |

It seems even the players think the game is almost up... I believe a war is brewing in North Africa/Middle-East, volatility trades, money pouring into oil futures...smells like a war to me...
