    And the scam continues. Vix is up and SP up....

    however when they are both

    however when they are both strongly up in the past you almost always had a reversal the following day. But...these are not normal times LOL so anything goes, but it is noteworthy that they are both up so strongly nonetheless

    VIX and SPY up today

    VIX and SPY up today makes sense.  I have a feeling the vol crush tomorrow will be intense if the print comes in in line or better than expected (lower). If it's hot, the vol crush will be more likely on Wednesday after the hawkish skip (which seems kind of expected at this point, unlike a couple of weeks ago before the EU, Canada and Aussies made their moves). 

    The Fed should not let

    The Fed should not let stockmarket dictate their policy. I would raise again and keep pedal to metal until we get to 2% . Dancing around and all this BS will just extend resolution. But nothing about stk mkt is logical.

    And kill some more banks

    And kill some more banks in the process? That's what came from raising too far too fast.

    agree

    but again that's why I keep saying the KISS systems are nice - because if the insanity continues and continues with ever higher prices -the systems will capture that, and when one day the rug is pulled and the music stops, you have a chair to sit in, (STS stops) to protect you. The KISS systems will go with the flow for as long as it lasts

    I love the idea of using the KISS system. My trouble has always been trying to determine an entry criteria that I have good stats utilizing the STS.

    KISS is used best when you think the market could enter a period of trend for a while - just like the Oct lows we thought were a decent trade bottom for many months. But even on things like the indexes, they will have chop trades but will over time catch good moves. Especially anything that is trending strongly. Last year we identified energy as a hot sector in early January and the KISS systems did amazing on those. Stocks or indexes that are trending should do well.
