Ashraf - S&P has now broken previous Jan highs in pre market. Do you still see a looming decline in equities? if so, what are your targets on the downside?

anyone shorting S&P at these levels? I am just wondering whether it will try to test 1150 first before a collapse.

so you are saying that the 3 month libor is the funding instrument of the world and the lowest rate is equal to the carry currency. further, the spreads between them are an important analytic of currency valuation. nicholas ellis

Freedie, yes all those make the analysis very tricky, as well expiry of contracts thats why i use ratios and give and take a few points for margin of error.

The only problem is that, at least theoretically, the SP500 is not range bound, while the VIX is rangebound...making the relationship between the two a bit difficult to run over longer time frames.
