Closing Brief

US indexes closed significantly higher, with the sp' settling +20pts @ 1872.  The two leaders - Trans/R2K, closed +1.6% and +1.4% respectively. If the wave from 1837 was a mere 'bounce', then the remainder of this week could be rather interesting.

Summary

*I hold overnight short, from sp'1866, and VIX in the 13.90s. Seeking a provisional exit at sp'1850/45.

So..we closed with significant gains, but really, this was expected (target zone was 1865/75), not least with the Fed press release. We've seen this kind of nonsense a hundred times before, and no doubt...another hundred times to come.

Personally, I'd like to at least see a break into the low 1850s tomorrow, which will be more than enough to give the bull maniacs the concern that 'ohoh, was it just a bounce?'.

more later..on the VIX
