I do remember wondering what those various reasons were as I had only one or two reasons for thinking the same. It looks as though you were right.<br /><br />Anyway, my latest blog post is not inconsistent with this although I am looking at the VXO rather than the VIX.<br /><br />DouglasDouglashttp://vvandymodels.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897456774486153841.post-16995069491763407752009-08-12T09:25:27.427-07:002009-08-12T09:25:27.427-07:00Anyone notice that the Baltic Dry is down almost 4...Anyone notice that the Baltic Dry is down almost 40% in the last two months. <br />People used to pay attention to this.

Interesting.<br /><br />If you want to get long stocks, you might want the stock market to go negative tomorrow, because post fed days have a tendency of retracing the fed day movement, regardless of whether stocks rose or fell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897456774486153841.post-8454289095937964892009-08-11T10:08:14.667-07:002009-08-11T10:08:14.667-07:00Rise in VIX call volume/buying means it's time...Rise in VIX call volume/buying means it's time to go long on stocks, or even better, sell puts with elevated volatility. <br />After tomorrow's FOMC statement, equity market should revert back to 1000+ on the S&P (with banks stocks leading), USD will weaken against other majors, and yield on 10 year-T will fall back to 3.5% (or lower). FOMC will reiterate its prior policy statement of considerable easing for long time. Today's and yesterday's market move is all noise, in my humble opinion.Chandranoreply@blogger.com
