No, it did not predict any individual bit of news but it knows when things look bad. Our job as market analysts is to read those signs of "bad" and get on the right side of the market. I don't know how long or how far. All I know is "be bearish" or "be bullish" or "be a spectator."

it's about time, here it is friday morning 7:20am and the futures are as much in the toilet as ever, finally getting our selling climax of the the last bit of cowards and panic stricken people who are long?i sure hope so, i've been long for a while and waiting for this market to crap or get off the pot, looks like its finally craping, hooray, hooray.
Other than the hooray part, I have to agree with you. Watch the VIX top 100 today.
