Matt have you ever thought of adding a treadmill? One of the docs that I work with has this in her office and she can do 2-3 miles of walking every day.

E-mail said cover the short at the close....period. I have to admit that I went against the system and kept my shorts open (IMO this market is way too overbought for the SPY not to drop at least a few points from here), but it was disappointing to see the system cover. If it were me, I'd be adding shorts right here, not covering.

Wow - 17% bears! Big drop from last week...that's definitely a negative for the market.

I took a fair sized position in SKF today. Here's my 60 min chart, but there are positive divergences on the MACD and RSI on all of my intraday charts. There's also potential for positive divergence on the daily MACD if it starts turning up from here. A nice trade in the making, IMO.

I've got 1257.60 at the close - lol! Not sure how many people holding long term can say they broke even this year. Trading was the way to go, for sure.

$BPGDM fell to 10.3 today - the lowest it's been in over 3 years. Dipped my toe in a little GDX today.

Interesting post RP. In the short term, I think the markets can go either way, but I'm seeing negative divergences on just about all of my intraday charts. Odds are they play out, question is when.

The last time the $VIX

My strategies are starting to go Short..

Posted by pebs on 23rd of Dec 2011 at 02:14 pm

The last time the $VIX was this low the $SPX was over 1300. In addition, the $VIX is quite a bit below it's November lows, while the $SPX is still below it's November highs. This divergence leads me to believe that once this melt up is over, the market is going to take the elevator shaft down. At the very least, I would expect the $VIX to meet it's 20-day SMA again in the next couple of weeks, as we're quite a bit below it at the moment.

Fwiw, there's a new moon tomorrow, which in the past have marked some sort of turning point (although I wouldn't trade off of this).
