VIX 53.70

DOW -256 SPX 815 XLF -12% all time low

VIX watch


54 would be a trend line break and mini crash possible...need to watch this as mentioned last week

52.50 now

XLF daily and weekly...perspective



you have to watch for a low, I don't care how many years it takes

Is it me but is Obama's speech boring?


SPX 821 bounce here ready? Banks suck...looks like JPM is losing their buds in Bush and the selling begins down to $19 today...Look for a possible double bottom in the XLF 8.80 ish... ?...maybe just a temp support level

Have to take a very old very sick dog to the Vet

Back around noon. Watch SPX 817. The financials are getting sacked hard STT ect

UK Bank action Monday

As mentioned last week, I am seeing broader market indexes diverge from horrific financial stocks and banking ETF performance.

Monday the UK dilutive bailout of RBS killed that stock but the FTSE fell less than 1%

Traders are all out of financial exposure or the spring is coiled for the broader indexes to follow.

Right now in the UK and Friday in the US the general markets are moving counter to financials

Watching XLF and VIX.
