Good news?

This chart shows a well known pattern (click on the chart to enlarge it).

Rising volatility is associated with fear, usually bad news coming from Europe or from actions of some governments around the world. The bottom line is that rising volatility is associated with declining stocks.

Declining volatility reflects confidence and a sense that world affairs are under control.

The good news is that volatility has been declining and the market has been heading higher. Let's hope these trends continue so that we can make some money.
