Will Volatility Fatigue Set into the Stock Market
BY ANDREW GIOVINAZZI March 14, 2025 Yo Pit Crazies, I know for sure what kind of fatigue is setting in. That is logging into my equity accounts and watching a bunch of my stocks go down for the year. That is rough sledding sometimes and for every happy Palantir Tech Inc (Ticker: PLTR) sale […]
VIX tries hard to decide if the worst is over

SPX hovers on the brink, so will it tip over?
BY ANDREW GIOVINAZZI March 7, 2025 Yo Pit Crazies, If I am looking at SPX these days, I am probably wondering if it is time to buy the dip. Now more on that later but the solid and sharp selloff is proving to run a lot longer than folks realize. We are only 5% […]
