Financial history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. You can't be stupid enough to trade off anything I say.... I'm lucky they let me out of the straight-jacket long enough to trade.

I hate to keep harping on VWAP, but it's 91.43 and has been defended twice already.

Low vol, low vix = complacency as you said. On CNBC Pisani did say it was contrary indicator.

XLF below VWAP, most likely to fall here. Pick your favorite bank short. STI.

Ugly close. Now the narrative will be that the vix low is the SPY top.

I got net very short at 2pm, covered about half before the close when SPY hit the vwap (again). Now still net short.

Will look at some charts tonight:

STI, BPO, JCP, M

not a bad narative. the only thing that bothers me is that there isn't a clear bear flag... or some pattern to hang my hat on...

but maybe that is a good thing.

it fits my one last push to the upside as the dip buyers get crushed.
