Hey, scott. Thanks for having me. We keep moving away from this bottom why are we going to have a shock drop once again, as you put it well, its a great question so most of these indicators are absolutely useless over time the ones that actually work are the ones most correlated by extremes in human nature in other words, you get a human nature extreme and inflect so what happened this time, and we measure like a shock drop is looking at a tenweek rate of change on the vix.
