Market Predictions Fruitless

Volatility’s Relationship to the Market

Complacency is the architecture of our downfall and that is what we are seeing right now in the markets. Today on The Bubba Show, Bubba explains the theory behind the VIX, volatility and their relationship to the markets. This environment is waiting to pounce on the poor unsuspecting retail investor who once again will be trapped.

Markets are always right and as Bubba explains, trying to predict the markets ahead of time is a fruitless, expensive challenge that usually sends those who try home, licking their wounds. Bubba also explains the way news flows and how the markets are always well ahead of the news. When news reaches us, it’s like yesterday’s news as far as the market is concerned.

Bubba lays into to the pundits, as they clearly do not understand half the news that they are reporting. Bubba talks about explaining markets ahead of time so the experts understand what he is talking about. It’s a tragedy that the retail investor who depends on news gets run through the wringer because of such poor reporting.

Bubba joins Marlin Bohling on Rural Radio to talk about the agricultural markets and why he believes these markets are going higher after selloff. Bubba tells Marlin that cattle is in trouble and hogs have reached a peak, while grains are hanging around at good solid buy levels.
