The vix is a measure of 'volatility' on the S&P.

It doesnt mean the dow will fall, it just means moves will be bigger than previously.

And thats what I said this morning...

Its going to be messy today, large moves in random directions.
But the buying on the dow is still insane. Even though its down 40 now it could still end higher.

Fear Gauge Flashed Extreme Bullishness Just Before Tech Selloff
The CBOE Volatility Index fell Friday to its lowest since 1993. Investors have stopped worrying about potential market risks. That itself is dangerous.

Look at the components of the dow and their respective rises / falls on Friday, notice the move away from Tech and into Pharma.
What surprised me was the gains in Banks, otherwise a typical cyclical rotation into recession proof stocks - just before the FOMC announcement.

My dow position is up 20 and ftse down 20.

Early days.

No worries, blasted through.
Could see 290 by the end of the day.

Nice work on the 225, good for 100 points within an hour of the open. But she is a monster, makes the dax look like a puppy dog.

I know, 300-500pt move is normal, however, it stays within a channel for a while, sometimes can do the same trade many times over

Long dax 12700

already got the dax at 12727, looking for 12843 to t/p
