Some thoughts about Bond traders vs volatility traders from Mummy


Usually bond traders are smart and they seldom make wrong bets.
However, this time, volatility traders were correct. They push the vix low even when market sold off in August. It is very strange and bond was soaring in August.
However, after a careful MHP check, you can see the bond traders are the fed QE2. They don't care and are willing to be screwed. In fact, it is their purpose to be screwed. If they are screwed, they will be happy, if they are not, they will panic.

US stock money is very important to US.

A lot of Companies' money are in it. A lot people's money in it. They will feel rich and willing to spend if the market is stable.

You know the final effort of FED is to buy all US stocks. They don't care about that for 10 years.
