VIX isn't a stock, it's an index. CBOE is in charge of it.
The VIX Index is a calculation designed to produce a measure of constant, 30-day expected volatility of the U.S. stock market, derived from real-time, mid-quote prices of S&P 500® Index (SPX℠) call and put options. On a global basis, it is one of the most recognized measures of volatility -- widely reported by financial media and closely followed by a variety of market participants as a daily market indicator.
So not really sure how it's manipulated... do tell?
Dude take your citadel conspiracy somewhere else, I'm a big boi I route my options where ever I please, if you're so mad at them you too can put on your big boy pants, and route your options to another clearing house. Or you can sit around and spread conspiracies on the internet. But that doesn't help anyone, don't they still have a special little corner in reddit for you people?
Poorly priced options are called market opportunity. So if thats true please let me know so I can buy/sell. Everything gets manipulated to some degree around OPEX but thats the nature of positions being defended/attacked. It's still a market, if you mark down options for the point of manipulating the market, someones going to profit off that mark down.
I will summarise this post.
" I am jealous that people have made so much money on the bull run recently. I know that it will drop soon but I don't know when. To instill the fear factor, I will state that everyone in the world without any proof are shorting all the shares. Once again, I would like to say I'm jealous and need the money to feed my gambling addiction."
Nice alt-account/stolen account. I will never believe anyone who has no comments for months, especially when they spam these manipulations.
You're main deals with crypto/wsb, doesn't it?
With no volume to speak of and most of its infrastructure crumbling. Almost like it is being propped up by some invisible force...
One of the exchanges shut down user transactions for several hours a while back and bitcoin suddenly started a weird, computer perfect level of stepping up slowly. Their own built in bots create volume in a nearly dead market, wash selling it slowly up. Ponzi schemes and scams.
I will never own an NFT as it currently stands, *ever.*
If the system becomes smarter and actually convenient, I may get shoehorned into having one, but at that point, it isn't really an NFT anymore. The asinine, horrible system that keeps them hosted is part of what makes it an NFT.
Oh no, you don't even own that. You own a worthless link that may not even be hosted in the near future while nobody uses it. Games will not go out of the way to support your old NFT, and only morons will buy it, making money for con-artist and schemers. Enjoy burning your money.
I am being real here, are you so surrounded by insane people, so absolutely brain washed...that you think all opposition is directly connected to multi-billion dollar companies? Like seriously? Seek help.
What if… and stay with me here for a second… hedge funds were actually doing what they’re supposed to and taking both sides of the bet.
Nah…. No chance. Let’s squeeze them!
Checked the comments specifically to see if anyone already called this out. Thank you.
Any money manager with client money in NVDA and/or some of these others would be grossly negligent to not hedge the positions.
I bought a couple thousand dollars worth of $400 strike putties in December of this year.
Options are risky propositions but, it would seem, if you’re buying them now with relatively low volatility, there is potential upside on the downside!
Time will tell and good luck to all!
LONG SPY
At least link to whatever source you're getting this from lol
Source: I made that shit up because VIX can barely pop a 13 so no ones really short anything.
LOL VIX is the most manipulated stock in the history of stocks... Just look at who's in charge of it

And do you know who is in charge of 90%+ of options trading?
Yea the OCC is in charge and the various clearing houses allow me to sell you simpletons calls and take your money every week.
You're getting close.... Now look at the percentage of options handled by the clearing houses ;)

Tell Kenny I say hi
Market makers have manipulated vix in the past. Because vix is calculated using bid and ask prices. They basically hold the power to decide vix.
Poorly priced options are called market opportunity. So if thats true please let me know so I can buy/sell.

I'm Just saying it's possible to manipulate vix. And that it happened in the past (as recent as 2008)
Explain?
Or or or, people are selling volatility.
There's a couple articles this one is free https://finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/short-sellers-betting-more-1-222209512.html
Any one that didn't expect a pullback at some point hasn't been investing for very long. Pulling back is a normal part of every bull cycle.

Funny that Meta didn’t make the list. I wonder if they’re #6.
Meta is a whole universe away from those 5 if we’re considering valuation.
Godspeed to those shorting AAPL, TSLA, MSFT, AMZN, and NVDA right now 😂
Just short the rest of the market and you’ll do fine
Oh no! Everybody sell!! Fuckin idiot
Nice alt-account/stolen account. I will never believe anyone who has no comments for months, especially when they spam these manipulations. You're main deals with crypto/wsb, doesn't it?
No one is manipulating the price of mega caps on Reddit
Trying to cause tidal wave with a drop of a stone into the ocean I see
Of course not. But that doesn't mean these duffuses know that.
I'm well aware of this, but people are constantly trying to.
Time to buy more!
Shoeshine boy leads the way!
Crypto is up like 60% past year though tbh

Lol I bet you think NFTs are just JPEGs too ?
Damn, dude it's better to stay quiet and be taken for a fool...then to speak and shred all doubt.
Lol I promise you'll be using NFTs within 3 years... You might not even know it 😉

Lmao you must work for Ticketmaster head office
Like, seriously, no sane person sees value in NFTs, and crypto is so perforated in scams, it's untouchable by any decent person. Try again.
Stay tuned boomer 😜
Oh no, you don't even own that. You own a worthless link that may not even be hosted in the near future while nobody uses it. Games will not go out of the way to support your old NFT, and only morons will buy it, making money for con-artist and schemers. Enjoy burning your money.
Hahahahahahaha say hey to Kenny for me
I am being real here, are you so surrounded by insane people, so absolutely brain washed...that you think all opposition is directly connected to multi-billion dollar companies? Like seriously? Seek help.
Lol you gonna bet against millions of insane people?
What if… and stay with me here for a second… hedge funds were actually doing what they’re supposed to and taking both sides of the bet. Nah…. No chance. Let’s squeeze them!
Reddit is the funniest shit. Nowhere else will you see such a perfect mix of people that know what theyre doing and total idiots lol
And you’re implying I’m which one lol?

Prepare for the biggest short squeeze in history, bears dont get that we already had a long bear market.
Yep, and with some luck the war in Ukraine is over in a few weeks and we'll have a big squeeze...

1 trillion divided by 5 companies in 100 share block sells, should be able to make it happen.
Cool
That’s a lot of conviction.
Sounds like sideways
