Benkea; I use the VIX a lot, I don't have some arbitrary number to use on it from some long historic sense. I find that changes from time to time, so it's the more recent "pattern" of the VIX I find most useful. I also look for other collaborating signals, such as my DVI , and one eye on the dollar. If you have been tracking my short term market calls, & the index bets I put down I think you will find that whatever I'm using, is working damm good. If I just play the indexes, QQQ, SPY and the XLs it's rare that I lose a bet.( almost never) When I start laying side bets on stocks my hit average falls, but I can hit the indexes with the very best. One key to taht is patience, and just betting when the signals are not mixed. I'n short there are days I just don't bet, anyone who thinks they can or need to call the market every day is going to lose their shirt. But yes I do like the VIX. Jim
