Vix call volume probably set some record today. Lots of "buying protection." However the put/call ratio is only like .31 which isn't that high.

My TVIX down nearly 50%. Luckily one of my smaller positions. Need a few days of volatility to get that money back though

Oil hitting 2014 levels

where is the picture of that idiot Gartman saying we'd never see oil at $45 again in his lifetime

Maybe he expected to die that week

Edit: Forget which sell side shop called it but I read a note in mid december arguing to go long commodities and that has been a very timely call recently.

JP Morgan lost $143 million last quarter on a loan to a single client

• "Equity markets revenue was flat compared to a strong prior year and included the impact of a mark-to-market loss of $143 million on a margin loan to a single client," J.P. Morgan said in its fourth-quarter release.

Hopefully everyone is making bank to start 2018. They said the Dow is having its best start in 15 years. My account is doing great but it could always be doing better. Looking to hold onto what I got at the least in case there is a pullback.
