- The Okapi Rant
-
Has it really been almost a year since Jimmy Ray’s landmark, purely spontaneous Rage Against the Fed Machine?CNBC drumming it up all day as some sort of touchstone event for us all and praising Voldemort for seeing it coming.OK, let’s get real. His rant did predict the job carnage on Wall Street. But it neglects to mention how many times he got all giggly at Fed moves since then, all those “Ben has our backs” moments. Starting pretty much two weeks later when the Fed made their first move, pre-open on the August 17th expiration. H…

Some investors like to say short and ultra short exchange traded funds (ETFs) are similar to steroid use - bulking way up on an unnatural time scale.

- Implied Volatility and Magnitude vs. Direction
-
Awhile back, a reader posed what sounded like a basic question: Isn’t implied volatility a function of the size of the move, rather than direction? So why is VIX more commonly referred to as a fear index if high VIX can imply movements in both directions? I mean- HOW and exactly where does the direction get factored into VIX? This question sounds as if it if might have an easy answer. …

I was doing my part to take advantage of the conditions and school those around me as to what would happen when the VIX started to take off and test multi-year highs. I spent a lot of time (check my archives) talking about implied volatility, because it is in a close race with “price” to be considered as the most important factor in the pricing of an option.W…
