Technical Analysis Summary for February 3, 2009
February 3, 2009 By
Tonight I concentrate on the volatility index (VIX) and the S&P 500 Futures.
Note: When I speak of a bullish pattern on the VIX is means a bearish result for the stock market. When the VIX goes up the stock market goes down.
Madoff – Throw the Key Away
January 12, 2009 By
Good morning to all…
A relatively quiet morning so far. S&P 500 futures are currently 883.50, the overnight low was 879.50 so this will be a point to watch today. If trading drops below the overnight lows selling pressure should increase. But be aware of the support levels I pointed out in my post on Friday.
A judge today will decide if Bernard Madoff will get to stay in his penthouse apartment or will go to jail. I don’t even know why this is being debated in the courts. He should have been put in jail on day one.
