there were bunch of comparison between 1998 and 2011. i think in 1998 the only time vix over 30 was during july to oct, a bear rally took over 30%. when we talked about y2k bull market, we usually started from nov 1998.StrikePrice wrote:Really?Buckethead wrote:Markets don't extend volatility over long periods of time like this in bull markets.

So how do explain 1998 and 1999? That wasn't a Bull Market while the VIX was above 30?

i am thinking this is what happened when we were around the top of 125SPY he bought dec 17 spy 125 put for around $2.60-$2.55 range.. and he sold 125 SPY for dec 09 around the low of the day for $2.10 - $2.19 .. so its for total of debit of $0.50 .. but the best part of this trade is following. he has no capital outlay except $0.50/contract. [ nothing on margin ]
if we close below SPY 125 for both weeks he would still get the dividend of $0.90 so he would be $0.40 ahead .... [ that is if he is keeping them to expiration ]
otherwise he can close the spreads for more than $0.50 his actual outlay... [ its already like 1.03 ] ... 0.53 profit ... this margin will get wider by monday because of theta... [ this is all i could figure out so far there might be more to this trade ]Al_Dente wrote:Paging cougar:

a clear support resistance in candles patterns can be shown in many setups and this is one of them :
an undecided cadle or more followed by 2 candle with both of them have more 50% from there high to low high and I highlited some examples that I traded them for long time before ... they act most of the time correctly specially with the first visit and market can overshoot them but if you know how to trade them with proper stops it would be very trading tool IMO
note : resistance is resistance until proven otherwise
I think the comparison is closer to 2007/8 than 1998. In 1998 the economy was strong and we were in the midst of the Internet bubble.soku wrote:there were bunch of comparison between 1998 and 2011. i think in 1998 the only time vix over 30 was during july to oct, a bear rally took over 30%. when we talked about y2k bull market, we usually started from nov 1998.StrikePrice wrote:Really?Buckethead wrote:Markets don't extend volatility over long periods of time like this in bull markets.
