I think if We had Put the XIV at 90 for a 1000 shares. we would have collected about $5000, and 15 minutes later we're geniuses then 15 minutes later its at 18 and we owe 72 thousandMe too.

The only two things I didn't sell in my Fidelity account were FNORX (Nordic portfolio) and RISAX (World Small Cap fund)

It should terminate at what point they managed to close out the futures. It's going to be super ugly, though.
Right now I'm holding steady, but looking at items that may be on sale. 7% down isn't a huge move (yet). GE may be on that list. O is probably on the list. If I didn't have a large amount CVX and/or XOM would be on the list. Those have been slaughtered. The prevailing economics are still in play - if we overshoot down I'll be buying a bit.

We open down huge, I’m diving in - Nikkei down 5%.
If JPM is down to $100, I’m back in, AMZN, I don’t care what the price is.

They were not mirroring the VIX properly. They were down around 14% at the close and should have been down considerably more. One of the reasons it crashed so hard after the close. Well that and because they are basically shorts supposedly they were called in. XIV should terminate tomorrow. A majority of XIV holders were hedge funds so who knows what kind of bs is gonna happen though.

Thanks for reminding me of my biggest investing mistake.
Back around 2001 I transferred brokerages from buyandhold.com to share builder. In the process I sold all my stocks, put money in the bank, then bought new stock. I had a bunch of Amazon shares, but chose not to repurchase any. :(
It's only gone up like 1000% since then.

Futures just dropped 300 points in about 5 minutes, don’t see that too often at 830pm.
Somebody bump the LHucks thread so the market goes up again.

A little more XIV digging. CS (the issuer) also owned 1/3 of the shares - they’re terminating to limit losses (most obvious play)... 2nd biggest holder; Morgan Stanley.

Impressive destruction. I'll be moving in as well tomorrow. The ^VIX will signal when to buy. Tomorrow it will spike to its 2nd highest level ever, if not it's highest level ever. That time was the housing collapse. This is nothing near that level of economic trouble.
VIX Chart
This thing was correct yet again. Bank of America Merrill Lynch's "Bull & Bear" indicator - 12 straight times now. Glad I moved my $.

Wish I would’ve did all this digging before 8pm - VIX is going to run wild tomorrow.

I hate myself for selling TVIX for a loss no less.

Have a fair amount of money on the sidelines though. Now of course the trick is the best time to buy.

Sitting on like 40 racks after selling all the stock I owned last Thursday (family gift for tax purposes a few years ago. its gone up a bunch. Sold after a real nice post earnings-call jump).
Need to keep it somewhat liquid (as I may need some of it for a house down payment in the next few months) but what should I do with it? Today's blood bath aside, it seems silly to get nothing out of it in the interim.

Who in the hell would have been in an inverse vol fund going into even last week.
So now they cancel it?

The reason I have a lot sitting though, I think there's a lot of political risk right now. When the Mueller investigation finishes, somethings going down one way or the other and I don't really want to be in the market when it does. Just my opinion.

If a lot of big money got caught in the VIX trade, won't there need to be a liquidation event at open?

Took Amazon just before the open at $1,380 - I'll ride it to $0 if need be.

Ameritrade being down at the open is actually bull####. I may close my account for this.

I agree, early buyers will feel it... Nonetheless, I want AMZN and intend on enduring it. After their latest earnings, happy to buy it cheaper than it was before, no questions asked - so I'll stare at some paper losses.
