The Quarterly Rebalance They Tried To Call A "Tech Selloff"

The Friday Bloodbath Everybody Saw Coming From a Mile Away 

You knew the spring was wound tight, or should've known.... It was one of the most obvious setups we've seen in a long time. This is prime time for $VIX volatility. #MACROs #Hedgefunds #Charts #ProCharts #WallStreet #Signals https://t.co/Ndt75N0yPh

Last Week's "Tech Selloff" - Trick or Treat? 

Yeah, Friday's session was a bloodbath for big tech (NASDAQ -3.5%) - yet small caps only pulled back - risk on indicator. That's an absolute tell. 👀 

Smallcaps pull back from yesterday's highs, but it's your tech shares Wall Street fats cats want. #NASDAQ $NDX (-3.25%). 🔥 https://t.co/lvhKJG6WPR

 (typo fix- they want your tech shares) 

Here I am - hold my beer - calling for another 5% - 10% drop on most hated Trump stock pick, INTEL.

I think Trump pick, Intel, can lose another 5 -10% $INTC #TrumpTrade #MidTerms

That points to just another bear raid - not panic. 

The $VIX couldn't even manage to close above the 20 level. The $VIX don't lie, like the talking heads. 

Smells Like Another Trick To Me - they only sold the junk they already don't like - INTEL (-29%).   

We saw this pullback coming a mile away - minus the fake blood, just in time for Halloween. 🧛🩸 

Did Jim Cramer just capitulate - calling this a stock-pocalypse - or am I watching a bad rerun?

 Here's his current boss running a similar psyop: "SELL, SELL, SELL!"

@CNBC Only buy stocks when others are panicking, and turn off the TV. #ProTip

Meanwhile: we're still making 80% contributions to the 401k - and I suggest you do the same.  [disclaimer: consult a certified financial planner, before investing]  

If the $VIX continues to gain traction above the 20 level, and gets into the 30's then I would be forced to reevaluate that strategy.  

Make no mistake: massive AI CapEx will eventually become a legitimate macro concern. When that day comes, the $VIX will have zero trouble exploding past 30, 100, and beyond. But Friday wasn't that day. Friday was a manufactured nothing-burger.
