ONE DAY AFTER ZERO HEDGE, FT "UNMASKS" SOFTBANK AS CALL-BUYING "NASDAQ WHALE"

"These are some of the biggest trades I’ve seen in 20 years of doing this. The flow is huge."

How huge? Huge enough to send the implied vol of calls of the world's biggest company, Apple, soaring at the same time as its stock price hit record highs.

It's also why the S&P kept rising alongside the VIX, which hit a record high at a time when the S&P was also at an all time high, as we first pointed out on Wednesday, warning that the last time this happened was when the dot com bubble burst.

How much did SoftBank buy? According to the WSJ, which also moments ago confirmed our original reporting, SoftBank...

... spent roughly $4 billion buying call options tied to the underlying shares it bought, as well as on other names

... which due to the embedded leverage in options, is the equivalent of buying tens if not hundreds of billions of underlying stocks, thus sparking the massive upward move in the handful of tech stocks which then spilled over everywhere.

And speaking of underlying stocks, in Q2 SoftBank just so happened bought brand new stakes in all the super high beta names including Amazon, Google, NVidia, Tesla, Netflix, Zoom and so on.

SoftBank's trade was simple: buy billions in underlying ultra-high beta stocks, then also buy billions in call options to take advantage of illiquid markets and gamma, and sure enough all the "SoftBank stocks" exploded to all time highs, and in the process dragged the entire market higher.

"People are caught with their pants down, massively short. This can continue. The Nasdaq whale is still hungry."

.. the real question is which media publication will refuse to touch on the next part of this story, and where the rabbit hole really goes: namely the front running of call options by certain HFTs who clearly magnified the gamma effect sparked artificially by SoftBank.

THE ECONOMY CONTINUES TO UNRAVEL DESPITE ALL STIMULUS MEASURES

Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com,

By initiating lockdowns, all we are doing is extending the economic damage over the span of years instead of months.

The only agenda of the Fed is to increase the pain in the long term; they have no intention of actually preventing any disaster. [ WW3 included ]

The stock markets today DO NOT reflect the health of our system in any way. This economy cannot survive extreme lockdown conditions for any length of time, let alone almost two more months.

Pregnant women protest arrest: https://youtu.be/hn0wWVNXmks Yeah, this kind of Orwellian response will do wonders for any economic recovery, and this is what Kashkari is calling for in the US. It's almost as if the Fed and certain politicians WANT a financial collapse in America...

Even if lockdown restrictions were completely eradicated tomorrow, a large number of businesses would go bankrupt anyway. This is why large banks are cutting off loans to business owners and consumers right now; they know exactly where all this is headed.

If the stimulus is not getting to the main-street economy then the only purpose it serves is to give the public a false sense of comfort.

The bottom line is, the banks do not want the crisis to end. Why would they? The longer the panic continues, the more they benefit.

THE FED'S LATEST LIE: IT CAN MAKE EVERYTHING GO BACK TO NORMAL

Authored by Brendan Brown via The Mises Institute,

The Fed Emperor’s New Clothes Show is a continuous comedy without laughter. The latest act, the virtual Jackson Hole conference (August 27), was dreadful... They never explain how they will fulfill their promise—it is all boast and no substance.

Fed is now to target an average 2 percent inflation over the medium and long run.. That is always a recipe for huge economic and financial instability.

The combination of pandemic with the interest income famine created by Fed policy has proved remarkably fertile ground for speculative narratives. All this speculative froth has added to the appearance of giant monetary stimulus.

We do know, however, that the collateral against huge amounts of credit is tied in value to expanses of malinvestment, whether in emerging markets, global supply chains, or the brick-and-mortar economy, including commercial real estate, travel, energy extraction. Feared and actual destruction of collateral value is what drives the dynamics of recession and depression and this will likely transcend the journey of the pandemic.

The emperor in the show, whether we take this as Chief Powell or ultimately the president in the White House who appointed him, is now promising the audience a return to the “prosperity of the pre-pandemic economy.”

Meanwhile Chief Powell blatantly fails to reveal that the biggest beneficiary of his reformed inflation target will be big government, for whom his institution is now a mammoth tax collector, with emphasis at first on monetary repression tax, and later on inflation tax.

WHY DC STATEHOOD IS A SUICIDAL GAMBLE

D.C. is unrepresentative of America and undeserving in any way to be raised to statehood...

When U.S. cities erupted after the death of George Floyd, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser was in the vanguard of the protests, renaming a section of downtown Black Lives Matter Plaza, and painting the name KILLER in letters on the street so huge they could be seen from space.

Thursday, however, Bowser awoke to those same BLM protesters yelling outside her home, denouncing a "D.C. police murder of a Black Man,"

There have been 130 other homicides in D.C. in 2020, mostly of Black folks that involved other Black folks, and not the cops.

On Tuesday, the mayor's office made national news by releasing a list of monuments and memorials in Washington that should be "removed, replaced or contextualized."

Among them are the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial and Columbus' statue at Union Station.

Eleanor Holmes Norton, the D.C. nonvoting representative in Congress, explained that the working group formed by Bowers to look into monuments and memorials did not mean the statues were to be pulled down but that plaques should be added informing visitors that these sites are dedicated to men who had a perverted view of human rights.

D.C. is unrepresentative of America and undeserving in any way to be raised to statehood.
