Oscar is at the Beach, at least that is what he said on the last vedio I saw, Vacation time!:D
 
Hi- Show-me,
So regarding the VIX, other than what Robo was saying about pulling "stops" (which I think I understand reasonably), the answer I was asking about seems to be, that right now, there really may not be that much "investor fear", as might be expected (without review w/in the historical context).
What is relavant related to current decisions on equities is, that swings above/below VIX ~25, -looking at swings to maybe 17 on low-side, or maybe 40 high-side, would be better guages, indicative of complacency, or fear, respectively.
Do I have the basics correct? :)

PS I'm hoping to hold out until March before more IFTs (have 3 for Feb) - but if opportunity/need arises, I will jump! I foresee individual lawsuits headed ETAC's way with that new Supreme Court ruling - just wondering how harm/loss might be proved?? :rolleyes:
 
OK, I thought the previous post was dated yesterday and you had purchased. F fund is up early today anyway. This market has more ups and downs than a yo-yo. I have been parked 100% in G just waiting for the market to start acting normally. Looks like I'll be waiting awhile.

Show-me,
Looks like you did make a good call then. I was considering buying SPY but am now thinking I should do more homework. Good call!:D

Thanks! It is always a good call until you go in the negative. LOL

All the TA's are screaming break out of the symmetrical triangle, but which way? I'm not seeing the good news and only if the leaders of Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela stepping down and becoming a Democracy will I go long. I'm short and I like it for now. That or a major oil field find in Missouri, then I go long. LOL
 
No economic data or earnings to speak of for today. Monday is existing home sales and Tuesday is PPI and Consumer Confidence.:worried: The prior PPI was -0.1% so I'm guessing this PPI will be smoking hot to correct for the anomaly. One thing I keep telling myself is don't trust the gov. numbers.

Break out is coming! The chart can't take much more of this sideways action. The question is which way will she go?

Holding F fund.

Holding SDS.

Good luck and have a great weekend.
 
More Write-Downs Ahead?
The Citigroup research of Meredith Whitney, executive director of CIBC World Markets, triggered a staggering global selloff, and now she's warning that banks could face additional write-downs of up to $70B if bond insurers are downgraded.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=659529306

She predicts best case 15% more downside for financials worst case 50% more downside for financials.
