It's been over a year since I stopped all trading and updating charts. Just wanted to log in the annals of history that the VIX spike finally arrived and still within the red rectangle I had drawn long before I had quit. Phoenix is still kicking. Is there any value knowing this? Probably not. Nothing can be gained by bears through such months/years of grind and then a warp speed VIX spike arriving out of nowhere, instantly driving put prices through the roof. It probably signals something bad to come in the real world. But, capitalizing on such chaos? I don't think so. Might as well keep holding those GICs and wait it out until the next bull. As much as I love the truth speaking bears, we lost long ago.
