No reaction for the VIX to recent geopolitical events

CBOE Volatility (VIX) Index

VIX is inversely correlated to the major equity indexes. Geopolitical events are among some of the factors that can cause an upward movement in VIX. There has been no reaction to recent geopolitical events. And there are many! The known knowns are Ukraine, Gaza Strip, Iraq, Syria and Ebola. What would it take for an upward movement in the VIX. I cannot answer that question but it would be prudent to have some insurance in your portfolio. And insurance has never been so inexpensive.

Reference the last analysis for the VIX.

TSX Index chart analysis

Intermediate uptrend for the TSX Index

Intermediate uptrend for the TSX Index with major resistance at 15,000

Intermediate trend is up for the Canadian market with major resistance at the 2008 high of 15,154. I use the round number of 15,000 and will set my alerts at this point.

Reference the last chart analysis for the TSX Index showing the support levels. Note that the 14,500 level was a resistance point on this chart. It is now a support level. The reversal of roles is an important concept in technical analysis.

CN 5-Year Logarithmic Chart

When did you board the train for this ride? In most cases, the simple rules make the most profit and are the easiest to trade. Buy when the stock crosses above the 200-day moving average. Or buy when the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day. Sell when the stock crosses below the 200-day or the 50-day crosses below below the 200-day. Add a filter so you don’t get whipsawed. You have your trading rules. It can be even programmed as a simple algorithm and let your computer make the trades. It doesn’t get any simpler than that!

CN released the Quarterly Results today.
