The number +1100 was the highest ever but that's about 4% of 26k. Nothing compared to the 23% of black Monday Looking at it from the All Time High...so the difference between the All Time High and Yesterdays Low.

Credit Suisse and Nomura are now looking to redeem their VIX Inverse ETN as the closure clause in their prospectus were triggered. https://www.reuters.com/...ts-tumble-idUSL4N1PW26S https://www.ft.com/conte...-11e8-8eb7-42f857ea9f09 https://www.barrons.com/...ills-one-etn-1517931789 Nomura redeeming at 96% discount that's $300m almost wiped out betting that markets will remain stable. Burnt to recognition. There was a clause that stated all this and yet guys piled on the trade...also noticed a number of posts on twitter of day traders who blew their accounts shorting the VIX. Here is a summary of one trader who lost 4 million USD on Monday... https://www.zerohedge.co...ars-work-here-his-story You dont have to be great to START but you have to start to be GREAT!!!!!!!!

The shorts got thoroughly whacked by this one. Cracker of an year opener which could be characterized by wild swings in total contradiction to 2017. Wonder what it will look like once everyone realizes the bond honeymoon is over. The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.
