Corey, this is a helpful report.

The fall of four major currencies and oil reflects that debt deflation is now underway.

The chart of fxe, bnz, fxb ,fxs, fxa, uup shows that the Euro, the New Zealand Dollar, the British Pound Sterling, the Swiss Franc, and the Austrian Dollar are all poorly performing currencies.

The Euro, FXE, and the British Pound Sterling, FXB, have fallen on sovereign debt concerns; the Swiss Franc, FXS, on continual buying by the Swiss Central Bank; the New Zealand Dollar, BNZ, and the Australian Dollar, FXA, on yen carry trade disinvestment in base metals, basic material, metal manufacturing stocks as well as a threatened second tax on miners.

Oil, USO, which had captured a significant carry trade investment has sold off on yen carry trade disinvestment.

Agricultural commodities, JJA, has fallen significantly.

The European sovereign debt crisis has stimulated debt deflation resulting in global asset deflation: we have entered into Kondratievv Winter.

The beneficiary of a dollar carry trade has been a demand for US Government debt as seen in the chart of IEF, TLT and ZROZ.

I expect any day a black swan event where there will be a liquidity evaporation, where investors may find it difficult to obtain funds in money market accounts and brokerage accounts; that is why I recommend gold coins as an investment.

What effect is the quarter end having on the silliness and volatility in the market now with expiry next week and triple witching , etc

It probably - certainly - has an effect, but I think there are so many global economic cross-currents that are far more important than the expiration that is approaching.
