Lu Wang - Bloomberg
While it might look like a reprise of meme-era excess, the 2022 boom in very-short-lived index options is more than a retail phenomenon.
So say JPMorgan Chase & Co. strategists including Peng Cheng, whose team studied public trading data and found that small-fry investors can't be responsible for the explosion of S&P 500 contracts that mature within 24 hours, a category known as zero day to expiry, or 0DTE.

Investors pile into cash at fastest rate since COVID crisis-BofA
Reuters
Investors put money into cash at the fastest pace at the start of a quarter since the 2020 COVID crisis in the week to Wednesday, as heightened volatility and questions over the U.S. rate outlook triggered a safe-haven dash, BofA Global Research said on Friday.
Cash funds saw inflows of $62.1 billion in the latest week, reflecting investor demand for dollars, which in turn saw the 19th straight week of outflows from gold funds - the longest string of outflows since 2014, BofA said in its weekly "Flow Show" report, citing data from EPFR.

Donal Griffin, Amelia Pollard and Nishant Kumar - Yahoo Finance
Over almost three decades in the City of London, the aggressive trading strategies of Glen Point Capital co-founder Neil Phillips made him few friends even as they burnished his reputation as a hard-charging trader.
Those sharp elbows have now drawn the attention of the US Department of Justice, which charged Phillips with market manipulation in September. The move sent shockwaves from the Spanish island of Ibiza -- where he was arrested on vacation and is now awaiting an extradition hearing -- all the way back to Wall Street.

Jamie Chisholm - MarketWatch
Markets continue to absorb the reverberations from this week's Federal Reserve policy decision. The S&P 500 has given up a chunk of its latest rally after Chair Jerome Powell suggested it was likely borrowing costs would peak at a higher level than investors had previously thought.
The benchmark remains down 22.5% for the year. The Nasdaq 100, replete with former tech-darlings turned outcasts, is off 35.2%.

Tim Bond - Financial Times
"You are effing useless," was the informed verdict from management, as they myopically closed my hedge fund in the middle of 2021.
To be fair, the markets apparently held a similar opinion of my abilities. Anyone who had predicated their investments on rampant inflation and a dual bear market in bonds and equities was not looking too clever at that point.
