Summary

Interesting day in market land.. with moderate morning weakness... a natural bounce into early afternoon, but then another wave lower in the late afternoon.
 
VIX remains low though.. barely able to scrap a minor gain today in the low 14s. So far.. Mr Market is showing no real concern... utterly complacent... but then.. everything is 'fine'.. yes?
