Up or down that's fine, I virtually have nothing left in the market, all in real assets.
This is just gambling.
I'll be at americas no.1 restaurant Bob Chinns for lunch with my wife at noon.
If anyone's in the Northbrook area, come and join us for a mai tai and some great seafood.

Truth is there are several things I look at, as confirmatory signals other than the primary measure of contango:
1. VXV/VIX ratio: This should be above 1.1 for a green light, between 1.1 and 1.0 for a caution signal, and below 1 is a red light. Currently at 1.17 (green).
2. VIX/VXST ratio: This should be above 1.05 for a green light, between 1.05 and 1.0 for a caution signal, and below 1 is a red light. Currently at 0.99 (red).
3. Roll Yield: This should be above 5% for a green light, between 5% and 0% for a caution signal, and below 0% is a red light. Currently at 3.64% (yellow).
4. VIX contango - VXV contango: This should be above 0 (and VIX contango above 0%) for a green light, between below 0 (and VIX contango above 0%) for a caution signal, and below 0 (and VIX contango below 0) is a red light. Currently at -0.3% but VIX contango is still at 10.15% (yellow).
Note that all of these were green yesterday.

The Kevin drama continues, as he was 1cent away from closing out his position. Utilizing ballz of steal, he said I am a man and will stick to my system no matter what. Will Tvix hit its target of 5.10?
I know I would have closed it out early, but that's just me. We need a little drama...

I missed that one. I thought I saw 5.10 at some point.

You did - that was my original target, posted earlier that day before trading began. I adjusted it around 9:15 based on the PM pricing, and the trade closed out a few minutes after the open.

It's time for some Boney M and Daddy Cool. Even if he lip synced it to the German producer
who also founded Mili Vanili. Oh yeah...
