Drbob RE: VIX I'll throw my 2 cents in here..... It seems to me that this low VIX is an indication in the underlying confidence in the market, the economy, and the markets in general. I have to agree with you that the rest of the indicators are currently pretty positive. The Stochastics appear to be a little overbought but some near term weakness could reset them in a jiffy.... Maybe the NAZ pulls back a little to meet the 200dma at around 4000??? Who knows? JMHO Bobber

Dr. Bob: Thanks for responding to my VIX question and to everyone else that has added to the discussion. As far as my interpretation of the VIX goes, I am trying to learn from all of the indicators and TA's I read and some times I get very mixed signals which really confuses me. I started second guessing everything at Friday's close when the trin was at 1.35 and the VIX was at 19.10 but the NAZ only closed 10.60 down. It's taken me a long time to get back into cash since April's disaster so I'm a little skittish. I'm looking to go long because I don't want to miss the 4th qtr bull run but I also don't want to jump back in at the wrong time. That's why I really appreciate your expertise and I hope to continue to learn from you and everyone else on this board and someday I will be well educated enough on all of these indicators to help other people out like you all are in helping me.
