Ashraf,

Doesn't the S&P 500's "Market Cap" weighting and re-balancing shenanigans make the comparison with the VIX a tricky exercise?

I have looked at the VIX versus its own moving average plotted alongside the S&P as a cross check and sometimes that can also be a helpful one to look at. http://www.indexindicators.com/charts/sp500-vs-vix-10d-rsma-params-x-x-x/

It shows that PRIOR to the S&P's sharpest up-swings, the ratio of the VIX to the VIX-10DMA has tended to be meaningfully ɭ, in contrast with where it stands at present (ə).

SAID, Fed funds rate closely follows USD LIBOR so if Rev repos go effective then we must see higher EFEFCTIVE (market) Fed FUnds

Ashraf - great analysis as always. Given you see a decline in s&p, what are your downside targets?

excellent ashraf

maybe there are no correlations but DO the reverse repo ops from the fed will affect the usd libor by raising it and that will leave for the moment yen libor the remaining carry trade funding currency.
will there be a crossroad between EUR libor cost at .59 now ( with a degradation of this cost) and USD libor cost that will confirm the hedges funds bets on EURO plunging?
