THE LAST FOUR TIMES THIS HAPPENED IT DIDN'T END WELL FOR STOCKS...

"...market may soon be dealt a hand of instability."

As the S&P 500 flirts with its February record closing and intraday highs at 3,386.15 and 3,393.52, a contrarian measure of sentiment based on the CBOE equity put/call (P/C) ratio appears to be doubling down on a bearish setup.

Indeed, the 5-day moving average (DMA) of the P/C ratio, with a current reading of 0.492, is suggesting from a contrarian perspective an overly bullish or especially complacent market, vulnerable to a reversal.

THE USPS JUST FILED A PATENT FOR A BLOCKCHAIN-BASED SECURE-VOTING SYSTEM

"...can use the security of block chain and the mail to provide a reliable voting system..."

"A voting system can use the security of blockchain and the mail to provide a reliable voting system," the patent application says. "A registered voter receives a computer readable code in the mail and confirms identity and confirms correct ballot information in an election. The system separates voter identification and votes to ensure vote anonymity, and stores votes on a distributed ledger in a blockchain."

The "United States Postal Service" is listed as the applicant on the application.

"Voters generally wish to be able to vote for elected officials or on other issues in a manner that is convenient and secure," the application says. "Further, those holding elections wish to be able to ensure that election results have not been tampered with and that the results actually correspond to the votes that were cast. In some embodiments, a block chain allows the tracking of the various types of necessary data in a way that is secure and allows others to easily confirm that data has not been altered."
