"The positive spin on recent US economic data has caused some profit taking in US treasuries, and a back-up in 10-year US TB yields from recent lows is helping to push the S&P 500 back toward the August high of 1,129 and keep the Nikkei 225 above 9,000 despite JPY/USD resuming its climb to a...

"Meanwhile, we see a big disconnect between the dash into gold and bonds and the VIX S&P 500 volatility indicator, which is still down near 20 and showing no signs of the concerns that are ostensibly driving investors into gold and bonds. While cautious because of continued downgrades in...

Don't be such a dildo. If you look at SPX weekly vs NDX weekly back in September/October 2008 you will see exactly what I am talking about, SPX was below 200 SMA & NDX was above it, only when NDX locked below 200 weekly SMA markets went into sell off mode. It's a fact, it looks the same now is...

Pek, you are fixated with the word consistent. When you start trading real money, you will realize that clusters of bad trades are almost unavoidable.
