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?
Yep, make Trump look bad.....................
Not Soros, no. But there’s plenty of other people trying to make a buck on Wall Street. That guy’s 88 years old and basically hasn’t traded in 20 years.
But the facts of the matter are even simpler than that! 1) Some #NEVERTRUMPERS with big bucks want to make Trump look bad 2)some investors/hedgies didn't think that Trump's tax cuts would work, so they went short 3)and the BIG one...the damned programed trading kicked in and is now running the DOW and the CBOE messes.
There was absolutely NOTHING out there, that most could see, to crash the market in '87! IT WAS THE EARLY PROGRAMMED TRADING THAT SET THAT ONE OFF! Luckily, there were still more than enough warm bodies on the floors of the exchanges, to "save" and "right" the markets, within that same week.
Bubble/shmubble....that "crash", back in '08, just as McCain rose to 3 or 4 points over Obama in the latest poll? If you don't believe that there was a "fiddle" and an extra thumb on programmed trading re that one, I have an old CBOE floor badge to sell ya...cheap! :-)
Yes, I have always believed they did this in 2008 as well to ensure we would have 0bama in the White House
