lol mags chuds are calling anyone talking about the biggest single day point loss in Dow history "Trump-bashers"

because this is all a loving sport and all news and human events exist solely to stick it to Trump and his fans or praise them

That's it exactly.


quote:

There'll be tons of sweat-wiping done by the mainstream financial blogocrats— the Trumpettes, of course, will actively call anyone sweating liars and pussies for even suggesting anything's wrong. Maybe a death threat or two? Doxxing? Calling Wall Street bloggers "Marxists" for peddling lies that the Dow is around 10,000 rather than 20,000, which is the "tr00" number. Like, I could go to The_Donald and find some shitpost about how a finance blogger covering the crisis "once said suspiciously good things about Clinton" and thus is actually a cuckmaster general who should be called out for lies and shamed off the internet. And Sargon of Akkad or Mark Up the Dice or Ol' Milo repeats over and over again how everyone "freaking out" about the panic on Wall Street isn't even just a crybaby loser still mad over Trump's endless winning, but is probably a communist.

Why would you bet against volatility anyway? I am confused, can someone who understands the markets better than me explain? Is it just denial that a correction might take place?

im far from an expert but i think of it this way. every trade that happens involves two parties. so if you want to hedge against the market going off the cliff by buying a volatility index or puts or whatever someone somewhere has to be your counterparty.

now the idea is that you are paying this guy to take on some of your risk so you pay a premium, and so during good times idiots think that being said counterparty is a license to print money. then the crash happens and they get blowed the gently caress up.

of course in the past it's usually been big firms who in theory can handle the risk (but see eg AIG) but now your average joe can buy an etf for every strategy under the sun
