Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

  1. Low VIX is the biggest red flag of all. Well worth a hedged short at current prices.

    The pump-and-dump bar appears to have dragged in any remaining suckers. :p
    They have to be reassured that it won't fall soon so that they continue holding the bag. This drags on till the end-of-month buying kicks in after which it falls apart. :cool:
     
  2. Puts are dirt cheap in a low vix environment. Some years ago, I bought cheap puts on a stock only on the basis that it had historically low vix.

    The bet was zero or hero, and there was no forthcoming news or anything else to impact the price. 10 days later, some hedge fund guy found out about an accounting fraud in their results.

    Overnight the stock crumbled by 18%, I cleaned house. After that I always keep a close watch on low vix situations. Timing them is tough, but they usually end in price imploding.

    I daresay quite a few traders are going to become very rich in the coming collapse. :D

    Except this QQQ dip has lasted 10 trading days and still hasn't fully recovered. It will eventually get back to ATH but it's not the powerful V recovery that you are claiming.

    Your post was just before the high of day for the NQ/QQQ. Perfect time to take profits or open a short for the day is nearly always when you come on here to run your mouth.

    Can't make this up!
