RE:RE:RE:Mayor what do you think about buying hviTrump wins then the vix goes up , trump loses there will be riots on a scale not seen in a long time. So i would say vix spike. However guys, one should not dismiss the feds willingnes to hike, they are trapped with FF rate at .25 -.5 so in the event of a recession that would be a scary scenario. Only other weapon left is QE. I was reading something that the fed always causes a recession when they begin a hiking cycle. That being said, where we are now in terms of interest rates and gdp growth could mean that hiking could accelerate the recession. Lets say the gdp was at 3% it could take x amount of time, well the growth rate is less than that and this hiking cycle is quite unprecedented. And frankly, the era of crazy stocks prices may be coming to an abrupt end. Dont forget that most of the gdp growth in q3 came from soy beans lol. Productivity indicators and factory orders were good so well have to wait and see what happens. If the dollar continues downwards take it as sign fed wont hike. if what i mentioned above becomes more clear then the vix will maintain its gains and could be heading to 25 range soon. Just my two cents, GLTA
