Forget about ZIRP, when can we get that NIRP Janet? Dow to the moon!

261 now.

Well you have to get comfortable with this. To be fair, maybe you don't buy that one specifically, but there were like 3-4 cycles of this right afterward showing a newly defined (temporary) support. Buy anywhere at the bottom of that range. Think about it this way - if price just got smacked...

It's not going to usually happen just once - you observe it happening to see what's going on and potentially who's getting positioned and how. There will be multiple cycles of this (to gather liquidity) before the next move. Quick spikes like that without some prior consolidation of some sort...

To play Devils advocate what if he donated it all to the GOP or something equally sketchy? The only reason its less of an issue here is because its an educational establishment (which btw usually only the well off have access to).

I think there might be a common timeline present here though...

This just in! Breaking news! Compensate your employees well and they'll enjoy doing good work! Now if only the 1000s of others of them could figure the same thing out.

So what about N? It was that your reference to front curve flattening?

I'm amazed nobody in here has posted a chart of VXM5 or VXN5.

Nope. I'm simply accounting for time to learn how to trade effectively. Nobody just steps in and owns the market. They get owned and then they start to figure how to become consistent.
