Total chaos sweeping Argentina. <Sirens screamed across Buenos Aires as firemen rushed to extinguish burning cars abandoned in the streets, bank buildings, and other debris strewn on the ground. Black smoke rose over the city from the conflagrations. Paramedics lifted the injured into ambulances. Downtown, squadrons of police officers on motorbikes fired tear gas and rubber bullets. Armed vehicles launched tear gas and water at protesters Thursday who bombarded riot police with stones and Molotav cocktails. Barricades made of pillaged wooden office furniture and metal panels taken from construction sites dotted the streets of downtown Buenos Aires The protests follow weeks of growing social tensions that erupted on Wednesday when Argentines rioted and looted supermarkets throughout the country to protest the government's austerity measures.> newsmax.com

Svenlar, I agree. And thanks for the chart. I use decisionpoint for all my nightly market index stuff and they don't show the VIX like you did on Stockchart, which was helpful and a nice new approach for me. Decision shows an OEX VIX and a NDX VIX. In both cases the VIX appeared to hit lows about end of Nov, with the NDX VIX showing more divergence to now than the OEX. Guess what - the Nas appears to be getting it first. I like to look at money flow index stuff, for individual stocks. Takes more interpretive skill and one can get unexpected reversals. But using this, some other stuff and market indexes I've been building shorts for about 3 wks. So far just slightly net ahead on the total broad basket, but before this is over I think they will all do will. Money flows into the markets peaked in general a few weeks back, as near as I can tell. I hope we see a run for the exits and I don't feel sorry for the longs. To believe all this shit they've been fed for so long is just amazing. Ran across a good post on another short of mine the other day. I agree with it 100 %. messages.yahoo.com I was in management for a while, but went home dejected one evening and said no more. Turns out it was mutual feelings, as to my back to the grunt role. I disagreed to much with my uppers, and they didn't like to hear of it. Reasons were exactly as those implied in the post. I think the US is screwed for a while, maybe a long while. The politics have been towards less and less govt control for the last several years, which was fine. Guess what? Big business management took it and abused the hell out of it. As the post above suggests, the problem is widespread. Very widespread. Just go look at the corporate exec pay scales, for a begining. Looks to me like we're gonna pay and pay hard. I have no problem at all with Slider's market index predictions. IMHO.
