This just can’t be. The stock market would no more be rigged by insiders than our Dept of Justice and FBI would try to rig an election. Its unpossible!

Is it possible that one George Soros and his allies on Wall Street “rigged” the VIX index to their benefit, especially in potentially creating a “false flag” financial crisis?

The ability to spook investigators and tank the market without actually committing any capital.

Scary.

Was talking with someone (liberal) yesterday, he was of the opinion that the market was too high and ripe for correction. Now it seems to me that Trump's popularity rests largely on the economy, that a drop in the market could force opinion against him in a big way. If that drop should come maybe a month before the midterm elections...

The market was never meant for the retail (little guy) investor, even before VIX.

Derivatives. Funny money, no value indices, bit coin. All straight up gambling wagers. Nothing but a crap table in a very thin disguise.

If you are in these are the rules you play by.

I said this market move smelled bad last week and it still does. The market does not go up all the time but the timing of this change was very curious.

Some say we have been in a bull market for 9 years and the correction is over due. Bull spit. We have been in a mostly struggling lack luster recovering market for the 8 of the last 9 years. Until this last year there has been very little movement that was not just recovery from the deep canyon of 2008 / 2009.
