By Thursday the index closed at 13.77. May Vix at 17.20 Last today, 23 Call at 1.20 Bid, up 0.30 so someone must be grinning like a Cheshire cat.
Wow, same story. All the Nov, Dec unrealized p&l starts to disappear now and its just the beginning. Got 2 more months to go. Question is, if all these wizards are losing, who is on the other side? Guess its too hard to tell.
I'll take that as a no. LOL. Guys, the selloff in risk is not going to be in equity land, it's going to be in these emerging currencies. WATCH THEM! The Peso is breaking down. Turkey is getting slammed. Aussie is tied to China. South Africa is taking it on the chin. So, the update in FX land is, we have confirmations to the upside on USD/MXN, GBP/AUD, USD/TRY and we just last week got the neg confirm on USD/JPY.
