All things STOCKS

The VIX is not ripping higher (approaching 40+) like you think it might for a selloff of this magnitude, which is occurring after we've already seen steep declines for the last few weeks.
In real simple theory, the idea is (in a sideways/down market) to buy stocks when the VIX peaks , and then sell when it returns to 20ish levels, right?

Probably. The thing about the VIX is that probably 1 out of 100 people who talk about it truly know what it is. Of course there's no way to know that the VIX has peaked until after the fact, and the VIX can spend a lot of time in the 10-20 range while the market continues much higher, but you wouldn't be participating because you'd sold already.
 
I blieve what's happening rn is a massive effort to bait people into tomorrow's CPI release.
When we traded back down towards (and very briefly undercut) yesterday's low, I was hoping for further 2-3% flush that I was actually going to sprinkle some long-term money into. But since we've ramped I'm not touching for now.
 
Zero chance I'm touching this spike. If anything I've been loading puts all the way up. It's still a gamble but I think (hope lol) I'm right.
 
Why would the president have a news conference on inflation less than 24 hours before the latest inflation data? Hmmmmmm
What difference does it make? Not necessarily important, but some will try to make it seem so.
Just a politician being a politician.
