Summary

Not the most exciting of days, indeed, after the late morning low in the low 1680s, it turned out rather dull.

Yes, the VIX spiked 8%, but that still makes for a VIX in the 13s. Equity bears really can't get the least bit confident until VIX 15/16s.

*The bears do have something of a window though, in that there is no sig' QE across Tue/Wed.
