VIX rose 2.35 to 21.58 as Nasdaq sell-off together with the broader S+P dragging down Dow.
US Treasury yields continue to rise.
Few days ago Bill Gross the founder of PIMCO also known as the Bond King said he was shorting US Treasury
and that yield will rise above 2% this year.

TikTalk      ( Date: 18-Mar-2021 10:00) Posted: NABEH & HENG RESEARCH - 18TH MARCH 2021 VIX : CBOE Market Volatility Index Pre Covid the lows of this " Fear" index was around 11, post Covid the lows for VIX has been around 20. Infact the lowest was 19.51 on Nov 27th. Which is no surprise you kept hearing bubbles......as VIX occassionally spike up from above 20 levels. Interesting......Last 2 sessions of VIX saw 2 new consecutive lows, 19.33 on Tuesday and 19.18 yesterday. IF this " fear index" continue to trend lower then you are likely to hear less of this word " bubbles" ...The Dow  will make new highs for each new lows of VIX. Keep an eye on VIX. Cheers Newbie TikTalk

 

Thanks, Bro Kiseki, yea I heard of this algorithm bot mechanism. The idea behind it is that the machine is devoid of emotional feelings hence they have done a " better" job of pulling the trigger on buy and sell.

But if I knew how that mechanism works, a person should theoretically be able to manipulate the machine by faking an event (which triggers those algorithms into selling or buying). Especially since the machines just act according to the situation without question?

Even when FED Powell say won' t be increasing the cost of borrowing (int rates), people still panic and sell. Must be some brain mechanism

wavehunter      ( Date: 18-Mar-2021 23:44) Posted: Ya. Have been nibbling her. Hope she dont disappoint me. My prediction is she will show us 3.30 to 3.50 before the year is up. But what is unknown is how is she going to go there. Is she going to do the slow Tango from current level all the way till she reaches 3.30 (or higher) ..... OR... is she going to Lao Hong somewhere at 3.16 to 3.22 and go back down to the 2.80s-2.90s during a flushing operation to consolidate before heading back up again and this time towards my target zone of 3.30 to 3.50. That' s the one million dollar question. If dont sell at the Lau Hong and she goes back down, then wasted and NABEH. If sell and she no go down but continue to push higher towards my target zone but without me on board.... then also NABEH. Dilemma Dilemma. Shake head.  Sg_KoalaDreaming      ( Date: 18-Mar-2021 22:43) Posted: Bro Wave, hv you plong your war chest on Ascendas REIT yet?

I like this.    Words of wi$dom.    Then there is also the other side of the coin. Which is if take profits too early and your stock no drop but goes higher, then dilemma dilemma between missing the boat  or chase the stock to buy back at even higher price and risk getting stuck if the upmove suddenly stops.

This has been happening for almost a year now. Which explains why Dow has been rising for a year now. Dow Futures... if we see a dip, just go LONG. For bravehearts only.
