    I JUST READ THIS 

    This makes VERY LITTLE sense. The VIX usually soars when impulsive selling kicks in - like we've seen since 2:30pm ET. Yet the VIX is almost at its 5-day low. Remember the VIX is priced based on the premiums on short-term S&P options. When the VIX comes down, it's because the stock market volatility is expected to decline. That ALMOST ALWAYS coincides with a rising market. So options are being priced cheaper, in anticipation of higher stock market prices, yet retail options traders are POURING into puts. This isn't going to end well for those buying puts  -    

    Yes definitely some fuckries going

    Yes definitely some fuckries going on.   Either the VIX is gonna explode higher or the indexes are going to explode higher.  Since I'm already long VIX, I added to it and also picked up some TQQQ, GOOG, AAPL calls to hedge.   Goog calls are cheap !  Maybe it's a VIX setup to get everyone thinking we're getting another squeeze up but really everything tanks according to my plan A which is that we need to fill the lower gap before this puppy gets going again.  Right now all i'm seeing is money being moved around from sector to sector while indexes grind higher.
