Summary

Firstly, congrats to anyone on the short side today... frankly, I'm delighted to see the declines.

Price action is pretty bearish, and there was a complete absence of the 'buy the dip' people today.

The one anomaly remains the VIX, which only managed gains of 2% in the mid 16s... kinda odd.

*I am on the sidelines..the only decent long would seemingly be from around sp'1920/00 zone.
