It does appear there's a risk that some of the "instruments" used for flying in this market turbulence... might have been engineered by Boeing. A lot of people will keep on flying... using them... not thinking about it.

I'm essentially a market fundamentalist, not a died in the wool slave to the technical indicators... but, as a former aviator... I'm also always wanting to know and fully understand how every single moving part and indicator works... not intimidated by things technical or by the design, logic or software behind them.

Can I explain WHY reaching an ATR of 6 "might" cause some other thing that was connected to suddenly become disconnected... converting your high-flying stock into a rock ?

I can tell you why an airplane that slows too much eventually stalls and falls out of the sky... like a rock... the performance then having nothing to do with "flying" at all... only having to do with weight distribution and differential friction and drag... until you can get a laminar airflow back and get the controls working again... if you can... and have the time.

And I can tell you that a jet designed to fly under mach 1... will tend to under-perform if you push it to mach 5... just as Space Shuttles with holes poked in them will tend to have a tough time with re-entry.

That's what JNUG looks like, to me... the controls started inducing increasingly exaggerated fluctuations and then they broke off... although for most people... the South Park episode probably works plenty good enough: "and its gone". From $50 to $5 in three trading days ? What circuit breaker do I have to pull to stop that happening ?

For the most part, this is a market for test pilots. We'll name a street after you.

So, no, I can't explain the behavioral connection/disconnection issues at ATR = 6... not any better than Boeing could explain why the way they re-engineered the control software on the 737 made perfect sense...

I understand well enough why Boeing's effort failed... posted about it here on SI... and Boeing's "not good enough" responses...

As far as ATR=6... that's interesting... I'm interested in finding out why that seems it is "a thing"...

But if mach numbers are that roughly equivalent to ATR numbers ? Do I think the major averages and the indexes are likely to be constructed well enough to be able to withstand mach 250 + and pull out that dive ? Has to be some mighty market rocket fuel behind it to make numbers like that ? That's equivalent to 191,750 miles an hour... would have you circling the globe 7.7 times per hour. Just give me a minute and I'll pull us out of this dive before the wings come... splat.

I think I'm done with the inverse ETF's for now... since the circuit breakers limit the upside, not the downside... and I can get 50% in the right shareholding without anyone spanking me for my bad behavior.

GE one month with RSI 3 ADX14... look... a pincher !


GE one month with RSI 3 MACD 6,13,5 and ADX 3 ... not so much a pincher ?



GE with ATR 3... not in danger of over-speeding the ATR limits... and a bit of a pincher again... but it keeps cycling and going down accelerating down as it pinches... up a little when the pinch widens, then accelerating down again... But the ATR is under ONE... it isn't looking like its going to explode like an Elon Musk built rocket ship... or car company ?



TSLA... the bollie pinch makes the top of the chart nicely symmetrical !!! The share price bumps up over the hump... then continues the line down riding the lower bollie lower... ATR 79.809
