A place for friends to gather and view stock market charts, discuss technical analysis and market outlook. What is your Principal Asset? How can it be developed? Each and all should do their own due dilligence and homework before investing. And by no means should you use anything I say or show here as a sole basis to buy or sell securities as everything is for educational experience only.

Whipsaw mania.....

Today's action was something to behold. As for me it was better than watching an epic Ali/Frazier fight. I kept a close eye on the VIX today and it was uncanny how market momentum off and through resistance/support correlated to the VIX moving averages. The last two day's were basically an inverse of each other:
Wednesday - Up big sell-off late
Thursday - Down big early rise to the close

After all the commotion we are basically at the bottomside of the February range. Except now the Fed has spent a lot of bullets to get us to here, the news is just getting worse, companies like Carlyle going belly up with more to come, real commodity inflation soaring such as $4 gas. The markets may go higher for a few days, but overall I believe we are only setting up for a MONSTER fall.

The chart is of the SPY and illustrates how much overhead resistance remains.
