They need to bring them spoos up by expiration, but the lack of liquidity will make that goal difficult. That Ponzi scheme will pop when the Fed is unable to save it. Is the Fed able to save it now with VIX between 2002 highs and 1987 highs? They will do anything, I'm sure, but... this is bad options expiration #3 in a row (July, September) - and in July and September they saved it but just barely, using SEC tricks. There was definitely the need for all these tricks in September, remember? Most manipulated market week EVER. Now things got much, much worse. VIX is now in a whole different ballpark - options values increased 10-fold.
