  • Buy And Hold For The 21st Century Using The VIX As Your Guide [View article]
    Thank you for your comment. The reason the June 2009 was so big was that there was a long period of six years where the VIX 30 period daily moving average never got above 30.

  • Buy And Hold For The 21st Century Using The VIX As Your Guide [View article]
    Thank you for your comment. To answer your question when the 30 period VIX moving average crosses below the absolute 30 level, that is a buy point. I should have probably stressed the absolute part more in my article.

    I didn't think about multiple events since it hasn't occurred before but could it could occur, so I do like your idea of only triggering on the first event, but a you could also to buy if there were multiple events during the year.

    The period of the chart I was using was a daily chart.

  • Buy And Hold For The 21st Century Using The VIX As Your Guide [View article]
    Thank you for the comments. I don't know what else you want me to do on the backtest. Data for the SPY goes back to 1994 which is where I started. Also, the returns are simply price returns and DO NOT take into account dividends.

    My strategy is simple pull up a chart of the VIX, plot a 30 day moving average, and when the moving average falls below 30, then that is a buy signal.

    In the table it is simple, it shows the date that the 30 day VIX moving average fell below 30, the number of shares, and the closing price on that date.

    I will look into RSP but RSP data only goes back to lie 2003.

  • Long Candidates If The Tide Continues Rising [View article]
    Thank you for your reply. I have avoided financials as well, the closest things I own is TCAP with is a BDC. But as far as traditional financial stocks go I have been bearish, but my screen would suggest that there are a few select opportunities.

  • Chevron: Still 33% Undervalued At An All-Time High [View article]
    I take the opposite side to that, I don't want to write about a position I currently have, because then someone could say im pumping my own agenda.

    As the disclosure stated I have no positions, and no plans to initiate within the next 72 hours. CVX is on my watch list and would consider it in the future.

  • Dividends In The Ring Vs. Share Buybacks: Mathematically Solved [View article]
    Good article, I have wrote extensively on share buybacks and dividends. I have found that a third option provides superior returns: Companies which have Growing Dividends AND Buybacks.

  • It Is Not Different This Time - It Is Worse [View article]
    Yes, there is Options trading for both HYG and JNK, or there is ProShares Short High Yield ETF (SJB) which is the inverse of HYG.

  • It Is Not Different This Time - It Is Worse [View article]
    Just saw this piece of info on Market Currents: "The hot market for corporate junk (HYG, JNK) has pushed the yield on high-yield corporates (4.88%) well below that of high-yield municipals (5.22% nominally, over 8% on a tax-equivalent basis). The nominal spread of 34 bps is down from 56 bps a week ago as investors take notice of the anomaly."

    Also, Since you were gratefully shared Oramed, I will share with one of my favorite Biotech's I own shares of which is Prana Biotechnology (PRAN), "The company primarily focuses on the Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases."

  • Oramed Sweeps Past Worldwide Giants With The First Trial Of Orally Delivered Insulin [View article]
    Wow that was a great article I will definitely be looking deeper at this stock, looking at the other companies that have tried and failed, if Oramed Succeeds the drug will be instant blockbuster I think.

    Thank you for your comment. I am a fan of the rails, only time will tell if CSX can reach fair value. I wish they had a ETF that was just for railroads, there is one in registration but it has been there for 2 years so who knows if it will ever come to market. It called: Global X FTSE Railroads ETF
