Summary

An interesting.. if somewhat annoying start to the week.

Gains were expected today.. but the magnitude of the gains is such that I lost confidence in launching an index short.

*the price action/news in TCK was particularly eye catching, but more on that one.... on another page!
-

more later.. on the VIX
-

4.21pm.. TCK denying any talks with Antofagasta.... stock drops sharply.. from 15.50.. to the 14.40s.
