This chart was shared with Premium Members last week. It reflects that often times the Euro and the 500 index have a high degree of correlation.

 Yet if you went short stocks back in October, due to a Euro decline, you got your head handed to you. I wanted to share this chart today, due to the 500 is moving quickly higher above its April 2011 highs, despite the Dollar moving up of late.  The above chart is a reflection that decisions should be geared towards the patterns that each product has more so that correlation decisions.
