Answer: A large bank is fighting to stay liquid (they are already insolvent), there are signs everywhere in the market clear to those that understand them

Similar to $CS they are trying to hide the problem as long as they can and I am not sure is only one large bank this time

🚨 IS GEODE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC THE “WHALE” THAT CONTINUES TO SQUEEZE #STOCKS HIGHER AND CRUSH THE $VIX?! 🚨

After spending a lot of time finding pieces that didn’t make sense together here and there, I found a common denominator across the various “weird” (to not always say manipulated) price behavior of US mega cap #stocks: GEODE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC?

Alright, who are these people? This is how they describe their investment approach in their own words: "Geode uses a team-based approach across each of the firm’s investment disciplines, emphasizing a repeatable, risk-managed and collaborative investment process. Our systematic techniques draw from a wide variety of information sources, with a focus on liquidity and transparency."

And these are their Strategies:

1 - EQUITY INDEX

2 - OPTIONS: “A persistent volatility premium exists within equity markets, and this spread between implied and realized volatility is best captured through a disciplined investment approach focused on minimizing options cost relative to premium income.” HOLD ON A SEC HERE! WHERE DID WE SEE THIS BEFORE?!

3 - COMMODITIES (here I already know my #gold friends will go nuts 😆)

So basically, GEODE CAPITAL manages 1 Trillion $USD of assets and is constantly short volatility on the holdings they own to “capture premium”!! 😱🚨⚠️

Do you want to know which #stocks they invest in as per their latest 13-F disclosure? Here is the list of their holdings above 10bn$ in value.

$AAPL - 291M Shares - 56b$ VALUE

$MSFT - 148M - 50.44b$

$AMZN - 170M - 22.18b$

$NVDA - 47.46M - 20b$

$GOOGL - 121.3M - 14.52b$

$TSLA - 51.66M - 13.53b$

$META - 44.05M - 12.64b$

$GOOG - 98.22M - 11.88b$

$BRKB - 32.28M - 11.01b$

I think at this point there is nothing more to say, here we have a company with a huge chunk in the Magnificent7 and a systematic strategy to short volatility via options. Believe me, I got goosebumps when I figured this out, I need to take some water and relax now, this is too big for a little guy in his little room in Hong Kong.

Ladies and Gentlemen, have a nice weekend.
