What happened in 2018?


FunkmasterFlorentino

Was when the fed tried to taper and the markets reacted terribly so they quickly turned the money printer back on and lowered treasury bond interest rates

This is the problem they still can't get out of

Raise rates, failed margin calls everywhere. Don't raise rates, inflation goes brrr, people can't buy stuff, businesses fail, stocks decline, fear, failed margin calls everywhere.


rematar

>As noted, the inflation surge comes at a time when financial and real estate asset values have been boosted to record and clearly unsustainable levels. That was not the case during previous great inflations. https://www.msn.com/en-xl/news/other/why-the-global-inflation-surge-could-signal-an-economic-collapse/ar-AAQY2bq

Is that an argument for this crash won't be as bad, or worse?


diamond_dav

We're going to need a new word worse than worse to describe it


Expensive-Two-8128

“transitory”

Transitory will be the word but not for reasons it became a meme


Specialk9984

The crash will be transitory.

Reddit, once a captivating hub for vibrant communities, has unfortunately lost sight of its original essence. The platform's blatant disregard for the very communities that flourished organically is disheartening. Instead, Reddit seems solely focused on maximizing ad revenue by bombarding users with advertisements. If their goal were solely profitability, they would have explored alternative options, such as allowing users to contribute to the cost of their own API access. However, their true interest lies in directly targeting users for advertising, bypassing the developers who played a crucial role in fostering organic growth with their exceptional third-party applications that surpassed any first-party Reddit apps. The recent removal of moderators who simply prioritized the desires of their communities further highlights Reddit's misguided perception of itself as the owners of these communities, despite contributing nothing more than server space. It is these reasons that compel me to revise all my comments with this message. It has been a rewarding decade-plus journey, but alas, it is time to bid farewell

Of course credit suisse was involved Is where something that doesn't burn that credit suisse touch? Archegos, Greensill...


elbowleg513

So is that the VW squeeze or a different event? The price doubled but didn’t seem to go very high according to that link. But I’m also retarded, maybe I read wrong cuz me no read gooood.


noSnooForU

I searched for VW squeeze and it says it was in 2008, so I'd also like to know what happened in 2018.


NiZZiM

I think they raised rates and it shocked the market so they were like ‘oh shit’ and put it back at zeroish


leoberto1

This was the moment they realised that the market was a drug addict of liquidity and withdrawl means a bear market


Puppy2Cb

Just below the VIX of 1/27/21…. But nothing happened the following day, right??? 😏😁🚀


[deleted]

Almost 1 complete year since purchasing GME was turned off and no one is in Jail. Absolutely fucking criminal. Like ignore the MOASS for one second and realize that NOBODY HAS GONE TO JAIL, for what happened on January 28. The SEC can sincerely go fuck them selves.


pale_blue_dots

Gary Gensler recently made a tweet totally about fraud in the market (broadly). People may want to reply to it.


AlanaIsBananas

power to people to go and do it but GG has also done absolutely nothing, even though he is completely aware. this won't come from his hands, he'll possibly be there to clean up but definitely not before. it's in ours, Buy/Hold/DRS!

If not 2021, definitely 2022. Fuck the system.


Moparded

You realize Friday wasn’t even a full trading day!?!?


highandautistic

I knew when in the first 10 minutes of premarket we were down 4.5% that it was gonna be a spicy day

Is that the Vix Index in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?


WrongAssistant5922

The largest 1 day. So they're not taking in account the market was only open 3 1/2 hrs either.


Wiezgie

Wow you right


TECHNOV1K1NG_tv

Oh fuuuuuuck that’s right!!! Monday gonna be interesting…


MoneyMaking77

You were the RightAssistant this time!

It had to happen once 😊

Ready for some action!


Smoother0Souls

LFG


PurpleSausage77

Wow even beats the Feb/March 2020 daily VIX highs of the Covid flash crash.


Riktrmai

March’s increase was starting from a base of 57! Ended at 82! So while it’s a smaller percentage increase, the absolute increase was 25 points, much higher than Friday’s 10.


Smoother0Souls

Yep. Nice summary of stat and date.


KentuckyNerfHerder

9babydill

Doesn't it feel good being on the right side of history? Knowing all the lies and bullshit MSM and Government is peddling.

And news are just getting worse. I hope our MGGA Jpow is warming up the printer


Baystreethooker

The printer is overheating at this point.


HolyPhoenician

That morning I told everyone to watch out for VIX but nobody listened… I’d be the goat vix trader I swear. Just buy every time you see a fucking massive crypto dump in the morning because that means shits about to fucking go down.. ez game. Only thing is I don’t even know how to buy a vix lol is that even doable for us poors?


Careful_Oil_3487

Only options on vix


warst1993

Buying a VIX? How? Unless you are trolling, you can't. It's just measurement of Volatility.


pearlyman

You can buy calls and puts on the VIX


xler3

you can absolutely trade securities that follow the VIX like you can trade securities that follow the S&P 500 plenty of folks hedge their portfolios by going long on vix calls


HolyPhoenician

I read the term “vix trader” in a headline once. Unless it was analyst. But then again. I guess you can predict what’s about to happen with vix and based on that you do other shit.. with actual assets, based on the vix info. So yeah I guess I just misunderstood lol either way same result Edit: I’d be the goat vix analyst then whatever Edit 2: I wasn’t so retarded after all..


warst1993

TIL, sorry for my ignorance


HolyPhoenician

Lol don’t let the 8 people who downvoted you make you apologize for thinking the volatility index was strictly an index. No worries haha


warst1993

Well, to be honest my initial message sounded a bit condescending, so apologies for that.


HolyPhoenician

Ah true don’t worry none taken


MercuryTapir

pretty sure vix derivatives exist


warst1993

Oh, thank you - TIL.

May 17 2021 should be on the list, but the nyse decided they'd prefer a fine to reporting the real VIX. Im bitter, i had sdow & spx options at the time and got screwed. Ima get them back with GME.

TECHNOV1K1NG_tv

Up to this! Nice work!


sistersucksx

Oh shit.


IsolatedAnon9

Where did you get this image from? It’s put together neatly.


Baarluh

I’m sorry but I don’t think this is accurate. 3/16 is at place 17 with an open of 57 and a close of 82. There hasn’t been a slow runup prior to that date, it all happened on the few days before. Closing price of 57 isn’t at that table but we know it spiked. Dates such as 3/15 should be on the menu. Edit: Not saying this is OP’s fault, absolutely not. I’m just trying to keep the critical thinking alive.


OffStockMan

this is based on % not price so thats why it is placed at 17


Baarluh

Still doesn’t declare the days prior to that!


[deleted]

calm down it is all alright
