hey man, its a good 20 cents off its lows of the decade.

 

giving you a good chance to unload more VIX futures before they hammer it under $10 on the trip to 2000 in the S&P.

There we go: 3700 again on the NASDAQ e-mini 100.

I don't see anything stopping the markets at this point.

We got a few areas  around 3700 and a tad above I will watch to short. Just be patient if looking to become a bear. I always remind myself to let price show me where it wants to go. Sounds corny but it does work.

I've gotten my ass handed to me using that method. May as well just throw a few thousand dollars out the window of my apartment window.

haha we all got something that works for us. Its not as simple as what I stated but if you have a plan and follow it, you will be ok. Most systems in trading work, its the traders money management why 95% fail.

The illusion that all is well must be maintained. The vix will be smashed later as we advance to S&P 2000. This is what a dying currency looks like.

The S&P has been correlating to the /VX futures for over a week. It's disconected from the VIX... for now!

The /VX futures are down right now 2.16% at 13.60.. The markets are hugging whatever will pump it up!

Equities must correct.

There is real money in here. It appears to be selling. The hyper levered "funny money" looks set to take a dive to me.

Pull up a 1 year chart on SPY and look at last year at this time.  Repeat?

If VIX is surging, why are XIV SVXY surging while VXX VIXY TVIX & UVXY are plunging?

DAX 10000 ... S&P 2000 ... DOW 20000. ... US GDP well over 3% until 2030 and beyond ... oil production hitting 100 million barrels a day, no limits at all ... 8 billion people by 2020, peaking at 11 billion (!) ...

Maybe I am a pessimist, but I seriously doubt this is going to end well.

Sounds like a bullshit plan. At some point this house of cards is going to collapse.

What... do you STILL believe that old school idea that the stock market reflects the health of the economy 6-9 months in the future?  How naive.
