So, last night, I noted that the OEX P/C was REALLY high, and that the VIX P/C fell hard. That suggested to me that somebody big and maybe smart was leveraging short the market, and that the smart money was also taking off short implied volatility plays.

Then, I saw that Financial Commercial Paper yields were at multi-year lows again. Why?

 

Somebody knows something's up.

 

I don't expect anything long-term, but maybe a few days could get ugly.

More likely a short squeeze in the cards for next week as the market has been basically on a consolidation at high for the entire week ................

“One of the best-known investment axioms is to “sell in May and go away,”” wrote Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist for LPL Financial, in a note.

It certainly seemed to apply to trading on Friday, the last day in April. Historically, investors sell stock in May ahead of vacation, the narrative goes, and returns for the six months after May are weak, historically. The average S&P 500 return for May is below 1%, dating back to 1950, according to data from LPL Financial. That makes May the fourth-worst month for the stock market. The S&P 500, on average, drops 1.7% in the six months after May.

Thanks to the Fed things have changed, it's now sell every month at the end and buy every month at the beginning .....................

I believe this year it will be ''sell in June'' as we're going to rise for the whole May in my opinion. I don' t see the market ready to correct here.......
