    Market correction imminent?

    I think this is a top, and here are my simple reasons. First, very few stocks are moving higher on earnings. The new DOW high of last week basically came from Apple announcing their next iPhone. Second, volatility is just way to low, and the market is having trouble grinding higher. I feel...

    Why so difficult for former stars to shine in this 8-year bull market?

    Where can I trade VIX VX VXT

    As an alternative, you could trade XIV/VXX which are ultra (3X) ETFs (actually may be an ETN, but who cares). Even with a small amount of leverage, you get a lot of kick with excellent liquidity. Best part these are traded with any stock broker.

    Are Any EliteTrader Users In A Prop Firm? What Are Your Returns Like?
