But its not the end of therl by any measure. While Interest Rates may have been cause for some concern in the , others say little known volatility funds are what triggered the spasms of milling. Santoli explains what they e, ar and why they are suddenly getting so much attention. Reporter wall streets slide er the past two weeks has cast a harsh light on an obscure corner of the market, funds that invest in or bet against volatility itself. Volatilityys simpl how much and how fast stock prices change. For decades, ethough, volatility index, known as the vix has provided a gauge of traders expectation of future volatility. In the past seven years investment firms have ha concentrated ee traded products whose volume the bas whether this volility measure rises or falls during a given day.

But when the vix surged by more than 100 on monday from 18 to 38, the xiv was effectively wiped out. Not before, though, the managers of the xiv and many other investors using similar strategies were forced to buy futures contracts on the vix to o offset their losses. This activity has been blamed for the contigeed s in the volatility index. In turn it has driven other big investmentors who use the vix has a signal of stock market risk to slash their stock holdings.

We saw ihe during financial crisis when during the darkest hours warren buft poured billions of dollars into Goldman Sachs and general electric. Ot he is n the only example but now the question is will someone step into thismarket. Dominic chu takes a look. The last time we saw a pullback the likes of we have seen, was may 20, 2015 to february 11, 2016. That was when concerns about china and Global Growth drove stocks better. En the s p 500 fell by 15 . Thats bigger than the pullback we are seeing right now. A lot of facto went into the market bottoming out then. Onef the more notable market calls came not from a market technician or a investment rategist. It came from the ceo of jp morgan chase. Di jamin. In a regulatory filing we learned h bought half a million worth of his companys own stock. It was 27 million. Jp morgan hit aigh on january 29th this year, more than adubling his Investment Capital in that one we are days away from the two Year Anniversary of that market call. Will a ceo this year step up and make the same kinds of call on their stock that jimmy diamond did. It could be a psychological boost for those worried about valuations or whether it is too late to get in on the bull market one. One of the things to wat the coming days and weeks, depending how the markett plays ill be whether there is any notable insider buying or maybe selling. We are still in earningsreeason so t may not be anable for executives to make moves i their o stocks. But will we look back askand enp calling the bottom the name of another big company ceo. Letsrap up this week on wall street and see what may be next fortos with liz saunders from charles schwab. Mommy, when is this all going to be over . Or is it . [ laughter ] i have an 18yeard and a 21yearold. So they are old enough not to whine like that. But young enough not to really know whats going on. I jus have to answer to our clients at this point. Did you see anythg in todays action that tells you that this spasm may be playing out . Or can you tell . Not necessarily. I think you want to see more than just one day that has this kind of reversal. And think you would like to see maybe a string of them or at least a couplem of t that happens in conjunction with a an easing back in the volatility index. Even then, i dont think anybody would be so silly as to say all the clear. But i would like the see a little bit more of a pattern develop before we t start take some breaths. What are you hearing from clients . Are they staying invested in thisrket . How nervous are they . Its interesting. Our investors who have what we call an advised approach, a disciplined Asset Allocation plan that is strategic in nature and its set up and allocated based on their time horizon and risk tolerance folks that have taken that discipline approach all along are unbelievably calm during this period of time. Thats the reason they have applied that discipline approach. I think the trading oriented folks, particularly trading oriented folks that only recently got into the market i think we had an interesting phe thats now maybe working into another phase here, which was started with the fomo phase, fear of missing out. You had a woosh of new into the market, poorly timed in hindsight. And now we have to see whether maybe we are in the lifo phase of the rket, last in, first out. Th and w may have already seen a capitulation of new investors. A lot of people have been pointed at the levered inverse volatility efts or whatever t ey can they are. I know you cant answer this but im going to ask anyway. It seals like wall street often comes up with products that often explode or implode. Why doeset wall st invent these things, the products that nobody really needs . Everything isbout profits. But i will pat our own corporation on the back a bit with these, because frohe outset of the creation of these things, we have been very vocal ery proactive in talking about the danger of these things. Fact, our Financial Consultants are not allowed to recommend them. And as recently as december, we looked to see which of our clients might have some in their portfolios and we sent warning letter about the risks of them. Very interesting. So we ve not bee fans from the getgo. And im talking specificay about t leveraged and the traded exchange products. Fascinating. But it is you know, we do haveon history of his esoteric products being created. At some point, and almost always you look back and say what were tey thinking . Its unfortunate fhe average investor.

The bd market now has to contend with renewed talk of those higher m deficitse spending, fear of inflation. And that has some peopleer wog if we are witnessing the return of the socalled bond vigilantes. Michelle carusocabrera explains. Reporter with the recent little spike in Interest Rates once again there is talk about the possibility of the returnndf vigil antes. What is a bond vigil a bond market investor who protests inflationary fiscal policy, in other words too much Government Spending by selling bonds. Therefore increasingyields. The price of a bond and its yield is always an inverse retionship. Anhe word vigilante is used because it highlights the ability of bond mashttle to restrain Government Spending. When Interest Rates on government bonds go up, government has the divert more and more money to paying for its debt and away from the the projects andie pol for which they had borrowed the money in the first place. The term was coined by ed var ndeti. He says there is a good chance they are coming back. When you look at the defit situation, it just got worse. That cant possibly be a good thing for the bond market. So it is a negative. I think what the stock market is starting t worst Case Scenario is that the deficit does increase and Interest Rates go up. Reporter there are three reasons why talk of the bond vigilantes returning is here. First the Federal Reserve and other major Central Banks are reducing how many bonds buy. The tax cut, at least in the shortterm means less revenue for the government. And this week, very important, the decision by congress to did a very big spending package agreed to by many in both parties, which means deficits of more than 1ll tn a year in the coming years. The bond vigilantes havent reared their ugly head in the u. S. Since bill clinton. However they were in europert ularly in countries like greece, italy and portugal. The power of theond market often surprises politicians who are unfamiliar with it. There is a funny kpoet from the advise or to bill cl he told the wall street journal in 199, i used to think if there wasreincarnation i wanted to come back as the president the pope or a. 400 baseball hitter.

First a look at the very important yields in the bond market. Delving n reportedly deeping into the delivery business, its taking on ups and fedex directly. Morgan brennan has more on what amazon might be up to. Reporter shipping with amazon may soon make its u. S debut. According to wall street journal amazons long r ored Delivery Service will initially roll out in los angeles a first step toward allowing Third Party Sellers to shim tir goods via amazon directly and eventually become a service that can be offered to other companies as well. Azon saying, quote, we are always innovating and experimenting on behalf of customers and the businesses that sell and grow on amazon to create faster, lower cost delivery choices. According to a source, the program is still in the planning stages and atea lst several months out. Bu d thatnt stop shares of ups and fedex from falling today even though Industry Experts arp cal. Fedex and ups should not feel threatened by amazon rolling out its own Delivery Service because never a much better, much more Dense Network that sfreds the cost of each package dlifld out over many more packages and makes it much more efficient. Reporter in response,s saying it quote continues to pport amazon and many other comments and that it doesnt make comments about their business strategios or decisns regarding their utilization of ups services. X fesnt mincing words. Quote, the headline in todays wall street journal demonstrates a lack of basic understanding of the full scale of the Global Transportation industry. Fedex say no single customer makes up more than 3 of svenue. Ups so one is more than 10 . Inc. I dont think amazonal ac really wants to compete with fedex and ups. I think wha they want to do is provide some assistance to what they have already in place. If you look at every major retailer out there they have built out part of their own network. H walmar close to 8,000 trucks, dozens of distribution centers, yet they are still the largest custome of eve large trucking comompany out there. It all highlights a bigger trend, that ecommerce continues to grow faster than shipping companies can expand. As the rec record Holiday Season showed that rapid pace isnt likely to let up for anyone. Amazon is building out its own network with 40 leased planesy b years end. By comparison, fedex andps have jet pleats of hundreds, aning it may take years and tens of millions of dollars before the tech giant can deliver on such delivery threat.
