Before we start, here’s an important message:
The QuiCQ is changing!
The QuiCQ will become somewhat longer, but not less QuiCQ and even more laser-focused!
Starting next week, the QuiCQ will be published Tuesday through Friday, with Monday’s reserved for the longer-format Quotedian.
The QuiCQ will include your favourite market statistic tables and daily calendar events from the Quotedian (where it will be omitted going forward), plus your favourite sarcastic QuiCQ market observations, plus the QuiCQ chart-of-the-day you already have grown to love.
So, what are you waiting for? Sign up if you haven’t done so
and/or, remember that sharing is caring and tell your friends, foes, families, business partners to get on that distribution list too:
Thank you.
Prefer to read today’s QuiCQ in PDF format? No prob, download it here!

The following chart is a reprint from this week’s Quotedian (click here), showing that Monday’s panic spike lifted the CBOE Volatility Index (aka VIX) to a stratospheric 65ish level. That was not far away from the COVID and the Lehman tops in 2000 and 2007 respectively. Two conclusions from that: 1) at least a short-term buying opportunity offered itself and 2) this smells of forced liquidation – wait for the whale(s) to surface belly up.
