About market, TAPE is so strong that it seems that a "blowoff" is imminent anytime. Markets are stable because there is something which IS brewing. Bullish bets are being rewarded big time & more may be on the way.

very good point not to under cut the current price
that is the way I usually operate
but high flyers never cooperate with the low price strategy

the market is showing lots of strength

As for VIX being so low
does that mean we have compliance --we are not scared right now so VIX measures level of risk
Low VIX low level of risk

thanks

Hi C,

Low VIX means that market participant may take stocks even HIGHER......

Complacency is normal in UPtrending market.

BUT around 13 to 14 VIX market may be sell sell sell.....
