Just ran across this. Since I have not been tracking the March Future, I have no personal knowledge on this at all, but thought it might warrant some thought. exchange2000.com -Scott

Tom, The VIX hit the 52 range, and the last time it hit such high levels it was a strong BUY signal. So is this a BUY SIGNAL. The reason I mention it, is not that I think it is a concrete BUY signal, although it could be, but that I, as many, have noticed how this volitile market has skewed the technical indicators. Just a bit of advice to many, and that is not to rely too much on individual technical indicators. seeya

Tom, Any thoughts this am? I am thinking I don't want to short here....down too far already to be shorting, so I want to wait for a bounce. However, things are so negative from a news stream standpoint that we could have a big break at any time, so I don't want to get long for a even a bounce that I anticipate. Guess that just leaves me flat till something comes along....my method currently would be flat as well awaiting the next signal. -Scott

>>> How are you--hope that you are doing OK after all of the travails of the past few months. <<< Doing well. Busier than ever at work. The latest thing at my company is they monitor all messages sent and received. They even have a key word search that's used on our email software so you can't use profanities! A giant window pops up saying the word is 'considered to be inappropriate in the context of business correspondence'. >>> I saw that up-tick on the DOW--pretty funny!! <<< I agree. I think the CBOT forgot to adjust for the drop in CCI's price (from 79.75 to 31.75) for the merger with TRV. Bad mistake. >>> Are you trading the markets or taking a rest?? <<< Trading off and on. It's been tough to trade, since I'm so swamped at work...no time to monitor my positions so I don't take too many. >>> I am doing just great--learning how to day trade the futures --- not that successful given the time that I put into it -- would make a lot more money consulting or something like that. But this is a lot more fun!! <<< Day trading seems ideal right now, since the market is taking such large swings almost every day. Glad you're having fun with it. >>> Keep in touch--hope that you got the e-mail that I sent you a while back. <<< No! I never received an email from you. I've sent you a few off and on, but never heard back...??? I'll try to keep in touch. Adios.
