@davidsettle All large corrections and bear mkts look like a dip at first. 200 dma is resistance now


@davidsettle Dave Of the 2 U think a short lived move under the 200? Or extended bear

@davidsettle I mean no shit - were down 10% from ATH. Were already in a correction

@davidsettle We're working our way toward an asterisk 😂🤣




OH MY GOODNESS 😱 UCONN LEADSSSS UNBELIEVABLE #MarchMadness

@davidsettle If you don't get out in 10 days...you ain't getting out...

Mark Madsen has emerged as the favorite to take the Utah State job, I'm told.

$VIX at 31 and everyone's panicking. But the vol surface is telling a different story. The term structure stayed in contango. VIX3M sitting below spot $VIX by over 6%. That's the options market saying "I'm hedging, not fleeing." Implied vol is running nearly double realized vol right now. 91st percentile gap. Someone selling this fear is about to get paid. When $VIX spikes above 30 but the curve refuses to invert, it resolves lower about 75% of the time within a month. $SPY closed right on its session low at 633. I think we're looking at 650-660 inside two weeks. Backwardation is the real danger signal. We don't have it. Does anyone disagree with this read?

To counter what I have seen often recently: Oversold is not a buy signal. A magazine cover is not a buy signal. A buy signal is when the chart gives an actual technical buy signal, which is most often on strength - not because it's oversold and not because of a magazine cover.
