With Central Banks around the world slowly changing their policies John Rubino and I look at a mix of economic and market data that is not lining up. We are seeing higher deficits but better economic data. Combined with recent wage growth but a falling market, it will be hard for the central banks around the world to stay consistent.

    The mysterious trader nicknamed ’50 Cent’ made $200 million last week as the market blew up

    Tae Kim – 2 Hours Ago

    Macro Risk Advisors says the trader known as “50 Cent” was able to turn a massive loss into a big profit last week.”

    “The persistent buyer of VIX call options that we have been tracking finally made money – and how! As of the Feb 9th close, we calculate that ’50 Cent’ is up nearly $200 million ever since we started tracking their purchases in January of last year,” Pravit Chintawongvanich writes.”

    “The Cboe Volatility Index, or VIX, is a key measure of market expectations of near-term volatility conveyed by S&P 500 stock index option prices. It surged by 115.6 percent last Monday to 37.32.”
