12pm update - another bear tease

The market is teasing the bears yet again. Almost a 1% decline for the main indexes, with the VIX +11% - but still in the lowly 14s. 2012 was one giant tease to the doomer bears..2013 won't likely be any better.

Summary

Its still kinda dull, isn't it? Not even 1% yet, after a climb from 1398 to 1514 across 5 weeks.

A tiresome..tease, that's what this is.

Best bear case...VIX 17/18..with sp'1460s....that's the best the bears can hope for..before the next major ramp..into the mid sp'1550s...and beyond.

I await a Valentines day bear massacre...go see the POMO schedule for February.

Any doubts? I refer you to the daily index charts from Aug 2010 to may 2011. Go stare at those for a few hours.

time for lunch
