XIV is an inverse of the VIX futures which is the volatility measure for the stock market. During the past year since Trump got elected the XIV has steadily gained a few % each day. It got fucking smoked today as the VIX went to the redline for most of the day. I don't know why he posted a chart of it at 20 bucks. It's in the 80s even during afterhours.

TFW I pulled out of the crypto market, relieved, then put $570 into XIV at $93.50 a share, (the best price during open hours) and the price drops to $10 afterhours. (Probably gonna be zero tomorrow.

Its only a possibility because of all of the short/ultra short ETN's. Once it moves higher the ETN's have to buy VIX to cover, which leads to higher VIX, which means the short/ultra shorts have to buy more VIX. Its a cascading loop of fuck. Its the same with any short/ultra short ETN, if you get a decent sized move up in the underlying asset you're going to see a cascading loop of fuck. I've been waiting for this day for over a year to see it all actually play out.

Incorrect. These tools exist as a hedging tool. A fund with large positions on long/shorts that require volatility to come in would have used vix or similar to reduce their exposure to the risk of low volatility. In the case of vix liquidation their hedged position will have come in, more than offsetting their vix hedge and hence leaving them in their desired position (for brainlets, they made money as vix let them 'bet' on movements in the market for a longer period of time with lower risk)

The only people that have lost in this are people who aren't institutional traders and had no right trading this anyway. It is a useful market for hedge funds but not for average Joe mugs

Hedging tools like this are good for market, they actually reduce volatility by allowing investors to 'bet' on market fundamentals. If there wasn't two sides to every bet then boom and busts would be phenomenal.

Although, letting small investors leverage trade a market like this is very irresponsible. The fact that xiv was on Robinhood is incredible and a sign of a larger rot sitting under the foundations of the current financial markets.

ETNs and ETFs that are/were inversely related to market volatility have been wiped out (they go up if market is flat, they go down if market is not flat)

Smart money only used these ETNs/ETFs to hedge other positions in the market. Smart money is up after the movements you've seen.

Dumb money used these inverse volatility ETNs/ETFs to bet that the market would stay steady forever and ever. They lost everything.

If there's more smart money than dumb money in these funds then this will be a movement of money from dumb to smart. If it's the opposite, this will delete value from the market (that=bad).

Also, volatility jumps up and down a lot in these situations and even if you're making spectacular 200% gains, they can go away in days.

A crash course:

Stocks - when you believe in a company/corporation's value
Short sell stocks - when you believe a company/corp is overrated

ETFs - bundles of stocks (usually for poorfags or lazyfags, often good option for retail investors, usually have a theme) basically act the same way as stocks (Some have leverage or fees, and some reflect the values of things that aren't even companies)

ETP's: exchange traded products, basically wallstreet mathemagical economic fuckery, trading based on derivatives of derivatives, etc. Usually used by professionals to protect themselves from losses (like options are used)

Options:
basically bet money on what value a stock will be above (call option) or below (put option) on a certain date. Good for losing (or making) lots of money in a short amount of time. Also good for protecting yourself against disasters (for example, you can invest 10000 into company A and then invest 100 dollars into options that bet company ! will be absolutely skullfucked in the future, so that if your stocks decrease in value, you basically break even.

Leverage - borrowing money in order to invest in something. For when you're VERY VERY sure of something and want to make more money.

For those of you who don't understand this because MUH crypto

Basically short volatility is a common strategy by much of retail and institutions. When the vix jumped significantly it went over 100% increase in one day. Because of this the underwriter (credit suisse) liquidates it's position because you can't have negative equity in the ETN, but they as the futures position can effectively get a margin call from the futures contract. In the underwriting they state at 80% they liquidate the position as to not take any losses occurred from making the ETN. Lots of retail and institutionals will be wiped out tomorrow assuming this. Many money managers likely got caught in this and will likely face a 10% or greater loss on this. This will cause even more panic selling. Credit Suisse also likely holds a lot of risk associated with selling similar products to larger customers

basically you have the real productive economy which are represented in the stock market as real assets / traditional equitites / corporate bonds. But ontop of that, with lack of oversight banks have added lots of layers in the form of other financial products (etfs, mutual funds, other financial products). The value of the system has gotten so huge because it is an abstraction designed to such as much nominal wealth as possible from the real assets underlying the system. If you understand math to a high degree the whole derivative thing actually makes perfect sense of an abstraction modelling outcomes and future values etc.

TL;DR yet another overly complex system designed to distract dumb and smart people alike from the fact they're getting jewed.

Crypto may be seen as a hedge for the global economy (think gold) and may experience a massive gain as people swarm it as a hedge against the global markets fall. 1/10 (moon mission)

There is also the possibility that because of it's speculative nature and with the collapsing markets retail will panic with their losses closing positions and driving prices even lower as they flee for gold/silver. 14/10

Just to clarify, it's like 10% chance that you get $100 and 90% chance that your $10 just goes out the window. Or you can be the other side, 10% chance that you loose $100 or 90% chance that you gain a flat $10 and never have to do shit. Of course that's before fees.

Mostly derivatives exist to hedge your bets, speculate on growth, or create abstract patterns in which you can gain money or lose money in a variety of patterns depending on how the market goes.

It's just another abstraction layer on top of the market and if used correctly it usually means substantially increased safety rather than the opposite.

There are, of course, tons of regulations on all these things, but what you're trading are contracts, which are no less real than all other forms of securities.

Long term, great.

What’s being killed right now is a lot of cryptos "value" based on speculation. This is necessary and good for the market. You want to be paying for cryptos based on their fundamental value, not wild pajeet speculation. BTC was only "worth" 18k because the people buying assumed it would be worth more later, BTC didn’t fundamentalky change in any meaningful way.

This isn’t like MtGox were crypto itself less secure as an investment, nothing techonologically has changed since December/November/October...
