I sold PAYS for a 10.8% win and my overnighter ENPH for a 1.6% win. Annualize that, motherfuckers.

With the continued strength, it’s interesting to note that NPR, Sunday shows ..were all talking about end times due to trade war, Trump and yield curve …CNN money reporter said she’d “moved all her and her kid’s college accts completely to cash.” The only bull I saw was Kudlow …and he appeared to be quite drunk.

Small caps do look weaker than their big brothers, but the market doesn’t look like an obvious top yet. In cases like this, I use to a postive-theta strategy (one where I don’t lose money if the market moves sideways). Leveaged ETFs or VIX ETFs ususally have negative theta (time delay), so you lose money if the underlying index is unchanged after a week.
If/when we get to a higher/harder ceiling or the market shows significant weakness or complacency (VIX < 14), then I'll play it with a more leveraged instrument, looking for a near-term correction.
They’re chasing yield at Russell’s relative expense
Ithink CNN’ Fear & Greed indicator (https://money.cnn.com/data/fear-and-greed/) is useful for two reasons:
1) It shows you various indicators of market fear and greed (duh)
2) It is on apopular website, so many people probabbly pay attention to it.
One thing I noticed on this indicator recently is that over the last three years, each correction has gotten deeper valley (more fear) and each rally has gotten lower tops (less greed). Lower highs and lower lows is defintely not a bullish sign for the larger trend.
Also, for good or bad, I did notice that the VIX didn’t go that high when the Dow dropped 800 points. That is a sign of less fear/panic, which is why I figured the market would continue upward after Thursday’s rally.. Of course, the VIX directly measures the demand for S&P 500 options, so if investors aren’t buying protection (put options) when the DOW drops 800 points and the 2yr-10yr inverts, then is that a sign of a market that doesn’t panic easily or a sign of complacency?
