1pm update - VIX set for the 16s

Whilst equities are holding above the morning low, the VIX remains very close to the early peak of 16.00. A daily close in the 16s looks probable, which should equate to renewed equity weakness into the sp'2050s. Equity bears look good for Dow 17000, regardless of any 'Fed day' (Wednesday) and/or GDP (Thursday) bounce.
