Soaring VIX May Signal More Trouble Ahead for Stocks - CNBC
US NewsPage 1 of 4 | Next Page
Show Entire ArticleSoaring VIX Index May Signal More Trouble Ahead for StocksCNBC.com | May 04, 2010 | 02:52 PM EDT
Europe's spreading debt crisis—combined with an overdue stock pullback and the prospect of the Federal Reserve withdrawing its economic support—added up to one thing Tuesday: Fear.
As the Dow Jones industrial average tumbled more than 200 points and safe-haven moves for US Treasurys escalated, investors sought protection with the Chicago Board Options Exchange's Volatility Index [ VIX 34.83
+9.92 (+39.82%) ], which soared as much as 27 percent in heavy trading.
The VIX allows investors to buy options protection against market tumult, and they took full advantage as the financial markets thundered. Tuesday marked the third straight triple-digit move in the Dow.
"When the stock market does this in conjunction with a flight to safety in bonds and a flight to safety in the dollar and the yen, then you should expect a jump in the volatility index," said Andrew Wilkinson, senior strategist at Interactive Brokers. "So we've got a nasty mix of so many different variables today, each from a different part of the globe, that's making for difficult navigation in stormy waters."
Stocks and the VIX tend to move in opposite directions, and Wilkinson said traders were leaning heavily toward calls on the index, which would indicate a trend higher in volatility.

Survivor
I am more than a survivor; I am a
conqueror.
My goal is greater than to simply get
through my days. My desire is to conquer
each and every moment!
I do more than just enough to keep my
head above water; I swim the waters of
life with all my might toward the shore of
my destiny.
My long-term dreams are clearly placed in
the forefront of my thoughts. Daily, I set
out to make progress toward my goals,
driven by my passion. Passion is the
key that unlocks the door to my
dreams.
I prepare myself in advance for challenges.
I have a plan of action in the event of an
emergency. In the face of a difficult
situation, I know how to survive. Armed
with a plan and a will to fulfill my vision, I
can endure any storm.
I have the strength within me to complete
my daily tasks. I am equipped to handle
all that comes my way with absolute grace
and poise.
In order to be a conqueror, I am changing
my perspective. I refrain from
complaining about my workload.
Instead, I choose to be grateful for the
ability to complete it. The mundane
routine of everyday is an investment in my
future, rather than a burden.
My positive attitude and my new
perspective help me live a life of joy. A
heart filled with gratitude and joy is
what makes the difference between
living in survival mode and being a
conqueror.
Today, I choose to get past completing the
basics and become a conqueror. I embrace
an appreciative perspective and allow
passion to be my strength.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. What changes can I make to my
perspective in order to appreciate my
life?
2. How can I shift out of survival mode?
3. What drives my passion?

Preservation of Capital
The temptation to go long in a market in freefall is way is surely not good for preservation of capital.
Looking for shorts in the $ES_f until the market tells me otherwise.

01/14/10 Closed out 2 Trades
Good momentum in the Pre- Market.
I was able to pick spots that looked relatively
decent to take a few sticks off the table
Wednesday, January 13, 2010
01/13/10 Closed out Short Trade 1131.50 +7.00 points, +.50 Long
I took a quick long and was shaken out for .50 point also.
Not happy about that run.
Never turn a winner into a loser is a Key Rule
Current Trade 01/13/10
We have a Divergence printed on a larger time frame.
I took a few small hits of less than 3/4 of a point,
then looks like we are braking down
or going to test unchanged.

Why you should use a private domain to host your blog. | 24/7 Entrepreneur
Why you should use a private domain to host your blog.
Posted on 12/06/09, in Dec. 2009, by Cory ShanesIf you want to make money with a blog and build presence you’re going to want to own a url and host your blog on a private domain
Free (BlogSpot / Blogger / Wordpress) Blogs VS Wordpress Blogs hosted on a private domain:
Blogger is nearly free, doesnt allow you to monetize “make money” off of it and does not get indexed on google the way wordpress does via SEO. SEO is search engine optimization, its what gets your blog listed in google searches.
BlogSpot / Blogger is a very popular Free Blogging service. Unfortunately, many people join them without doing research. After a while they realize:
Credibility: According to several Internet studies, businesses that use Blogspot are simply not taken seriously. Because hosting and domains are so inexpensive, Consumers question why a reputable, successful business would use a free blogging service. The truth is – real businesses don’t use BlogSpot. And your business can be as simple as selling via affiliate links on your blog’s side bar.
Hard to Remember: No matter what your purpose – business or personal – a BlogSpot address is cumbersome to share with new contacts, and twice as hard for them to remember. In addition, many corporate networks now ban Blogspot sites, as many of them contain inappropriate content or are simply “Splogs” (Spam Blogs.)
Difficult to Find: Despite being owned by Google – Blogspot sites are not featured in Google searches as prominently as real websites or Blogs. This is because BlogSpot sites are indexed less frequently by the search engine spiders. Why? Google ranks sites on many factors, but “authority” is a major one – and having a BlogSpot domain is the opposite of authority. Think about it this way – if Google wanted a true real estate expert, would they index RealEstateExpert.com or Real-Estate-Expert.BlogSpot.com?
BlogSpot is like Renting: No matter what you do to improve your BlogSpot site you still don’t own it. Would you invest time or money into painting or re-carpeting an apartment? BlogSpot can shut down your site for any reason, at any time. They have total control, and reap any long term benefits of your hard work. You can’t sell it and you can’t move it.
So why invest time and money into bringing traffic and long term visitors to someone else’s site?Learn how you can get your own Self Branded Blog for FREE at The Free Blog Factory.

Volatility at Lowest Level in 19 Months - CNBC
via cnbc.com
"The VIX closed below 20 at the end of December. Historically, in the months that follow the VIX falling below 20, the S&P has been positive. On average, the S&P has been up
an average of .47% one month after the VIX crosses below 20, up 58% of the time
an average of .70% three months after the VIX crosses below 20, up 60% of the time
an average of 2.80% six months after the VIX crosses below 20, up 68% of the time"
This is a topping pattern folks.
