6 WEEKS Up and then a Pause
By Michael Drew |
Like the little engine that could, I’m proud of the indexes, these persistent uptrends can be an absolute pain to trade, especially when they are so amazingly persistent. That said, we’ve been up now for 6 weeks of which is respectable and rare.

The consensus out there is not that we’ve hit some sort of longer term bottom, the trend is still basically down and we cautioned to trade small during these times. The VIX has tanked from the mid-50’s to the mid-40’s and lets go ahead and see what the market will bear.
