Volatility the New Standard

In recent weeks we've seen big swings in the markets. In fact, some days 500 points or more on the Dow. There is a lot happening in the United States and the world.

In the US, markets/investors are concerned about the Fed raising rates; political stalemate as the Democrats take the House and economic slowdown. In the world there is the question of trade war with China as well as global slowdown. Each day we have news about one or more of these market movers and we've witnessed the volatility - some substantial.

But while the Dow and S&P are in the negative for the year Optik is up 290%. We will continue to look for clear signals and sent alerts as appropriate.
